denim grunge.

oh, monday. we meet again so soon?

the weekend was jam-packed with activities...mini-she's school fun fair followed by her freshman all-nighter, then a birthday party at a trampoline place for mini-he's friend. the latter part of the weekend was spent literally "hanging" out at the beach house (see picture below), eating, and having rubik's cube races. i talked about the cube before when i was teaching mini-she and my nephew. now, the cube has hit my niece's school, so she's learning how to do it. poor thing was learning on a tiny key-chain sized cube; i ended up buying a bunch of cubes so we could all have our own.

how did you spend your weekend?

apparently this is called a brazilian hammock. i thought it was the funniest thing because it looks like a cocoon. definitely not what i envisioned for relaxing at the beach house, but my mom didn't know when she bought it. we joked about hanging four of these across the balcony for the kids to take their naps in!

4x4.

is there anyone out there who can do the rubik's cube?

when my sister was in high school, one of her teachers showed her how to do it, and she taught me. we would race against each other to see who could do it faster. i used to bo able to do it in under 2-1/2 minutes. i was in elementary then, but every once in a while i'll pick it up and do it a few times,

just so i won't forget.

recently, mini-she and my nephew became interested in learning, so i taught them. then, my nephew decided to get ambitious and go for the 4x4 cube. he said it's really hard, and now the competitor in me wants to buy one so that i can learn it faster first. he's coming over tonight, so you know what we'll be doing.

i'm warming up my fingers.
