Me & The Boys in Tokyo

My boys came to Japan!!!! How happy was I to hear that they would be making an appearance over on my side of the world. However, they arrived and stayed in Tokyo which is about an hour and 45mins away from Nagoya on the Shinkansen (bullet train). All of that would have been alright if I didn't stay up all night the previous night. When I received the call that they were in town and would like to meet me for lunch, I had just properly fallen asleep. Oh well, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to have fun with my beloveds so, I decided to take a day trip up to the big city to spend some time with my babies.



Here comes my train


I caught the super fast one


I don't look too bad considering I only had 3 hours of sleep


I have arrived!!!


Harajuku


Meet Rommie


And here's Paul


My new friend Richard


And Brian...he fits right in :-p


It's crepe time










Let the walking begin...and boy did I walk them good!


Can't help myself-I like taking pics of me :-p


Did we go in Kiddy Land? What do you think?




Paul having WAY too much fun on the bouncy thing-almost destroyed the little one behind him


Oh come on!! You know we had to have a look


The Boys putting on their "happy face"


How they really felt about all the walking we did


I love this guy! The boys wanted a pic taken with him, but he wanted his pic taken with me-how cool is that?!


Got to love Harajuku!








I had to sneak in another one...


The Yankees


He was getting his twist on!




Ooooh vending machine...


Welcome to Shibuya-home of the world's busiest pedestrian intersection






I got caught up in all of the action


This is what it looks like every time the walk signal pops up...I kid you not!


Dinner time at Lock Up-a jail themed restaurant in Shibuya


Rommie, the naughtiest one of all-he's been a bad boy




Richard enjoying our cramped cell


Brian all stretched out to make the best out of a tight situation


Hey pretty lady!! Me sipping on my beverage


Rommie!


Hi Paul!


He's our monster who came to visit us when the lights went out. I got a lucky shot of him as he scared the crap out of me!


Time for me to say goodbye and head back home


But, not without one final shot of me and my wonderful boys!!

A Day With My Little Ones

Now, this was an interesting day at work. When I walked onto my kindergarten's property, I was met by the principal's wife. She, cheerful as always, quickly handed me a mask to wear for the day. Apparently, a student came down with the "new flu" and instead of closing the school for the week, they made everyone wear a mask. Not a bad idea, but trying to teach a class full of 4 and 5 year olds with short attention spans with a mask over your mouth is easier said than done. I kept almost suffocating myself when I inhaled to much. It was tough, but I made the best out of it-plus, I thought I was kinda cute with my little (big) mask on :-p



Who's the pretty lady??


Little one's gettin' down and funky J-style as they practice their routine




Look at the cute little bundles of germs....I mean joy...


We have our eyes on you....
