Anywho, this week’s FIF word was Food!
This boy eats a lot.
When I was loading my pictures I found some from Layla’s school Egg Drop Project. That will have to be another post. Totally forgot I took picture. Oops.
Anywho, Next week’s word is GLASS
Link up your Food picture beloooooow
Im crazy busy! Between homework and planning a baby shower I am swamped. Add in normal daily stuff and there is just no time for blogging. I’m sneaking this in super fast just to let everyone know Im alive.
And leaving you with a video of my beasties.
PS- Dont forget to check out Sweet Green Tangerine for another chance to win some Korean goodies.
So today is Find It Friday…but I was scrolling through blogs while the kids brushed teeth and I found this weeks Fill In The Blank Friday post from Lauren at The Little Things We Do and I want to play along this week…so here ya go!
NEXT…
This week’s *Find It Friday* post. CELEBRATE!
I had a little trouble with this one. I took a lot of pictures that I had big plans for but they were all eh…
Pictures of decorations for Niki’s baby shower…eh
Pictures of kids playing outside to celebrate warm weather and half days from school…eh
Pictures of Layla having a birthday party for her American Girl doll….nah
Then I saw this one. And I love it. So while it’s not the most expected ‘Celebrate’ picture I was secretly celebrating inside while clicking away. After an afternoon of screaming, non-sharing, fighting, door slamming siblings they finally hit a reset button and started playing together. For a few minutes anyway…
Next week’s word is FOOD 
Michelle…I better see a post from you

I liked your facebook page and left a comment on there, too!
Congrats Danielle!!
For those of you that didn’t win but want another chance check out Sweet Green Tangerine for this and other giveaways all weekend
I finally go out and ran today. And by ran I mean walked to the big road, ran for about 2 minutes down the hill, then walk/ran the rest of the way home. Mostly walking. And taking pictures.
Jessica left me a comment on my Seoul post about how Korea is nothing like she imagined. ME either. I don’t know what I imagined but this wasn’t it. Just like Hawaii wasn’t all tiki huts and beaches.
Anywho. Seoul is HUGE. We do not live in Seoul. We are in Anjung-ri. There’s the main drag, tons of apartments, and farms. Lots and lots of farms. Even where there isn’t actual farm land there will be a little plot with something growing. If there is dirt they will plant in it.
Not totally sure where Im going with this…but I finally got some pictures of the trees blooming while I walk/ran past farms.
I have been waiting 2.5 months for this
I need to carry my real camera next time I go out.
And some other shots from our walk…
Farms and apartments.
This is the Korea I know best. Not those crazy freaky big buildings that block out the sun.
If you follow me on Instagram (girlmeetscamera) you’ll see more of the main road since I load a pictures pretty much every morning while taking Layla to school.
Ok. Now I need to write a lil somethin for Friday’s guest post/giveaway #2 at Sweet Green Tangerine 
Dont forget to comment on my giveaway post HERE. Winner will be announced Friday.

Here is the original load. I’ve added a few more things that aren’t pictured.
Cute little rice bowl! Timmy has a frog one. Great for snacks!
A little notebook and a planner…which after buying I realized is probably in Korean 
Oh well.
Stickers and a mirror
Chopsticks with a case and some Ding Dong Pig sporks (totally jealous of the sporks. Thinking I need some too now)
Coffee. I haven’t tried this brand but it looks tasty
And some egg molds like the ones I was showing off a few blog posts ago. SO much fun. I think I am more excited about them then the kids are…

Ok, not really a train. We planned to take the train to Seoul but ended up driving. After lots of math to see if it was ‘worth it’ I decided I didn’t care. Hauling the kids around trains and subways is fun once for the experience but I was SO happy to have our car to just drive home in while the kids slept. So nice.
I took a trillion pictures between my camera and my phone…so now the hard part is sorting through Flickr and getting them together in order.
The drive up didn’t seem long at all but it’s about the same as driving to Montgomery, AL. It goes by a lot faster when you’re not just driving through woods and tiny little towns the whole way.
Toll booths
Finally pulling off of the freeway and into town
I was pretty overwhelmed by how big the buildings were. I’ve obviously never lived in a big city
This place is insanely huge. This picture doesnt even do it justice. Over.whelmed.
Holy Bikes!
Our first stop (Thanks to my friend Beth for telling me about it!) was the Samsung Children’s Museum. That place was fun! Both kids had a blast there. 3 stories of kid fun. And a billion field trip Korean kids. One group spoke crazy good English
At least it was easy to spot my little blonde boy in the crowd
The ball room reminded me of something at the science center in Bham.
A water room! Totally neat but it smelled like poop. Big time. Like when a kid poops in a swim diaper and you dont realize it until theyve been swimming for hours…yuck.
After the museum we crossed back over to the Lotte World/department store where we parked and hit up Toys R Us
Korean Zoobles Pretty much the same but in a different box. Still completely strapped in with tiny clear rubber bands, Audrey!
Ha!
Once the kids loaded up on goods we left to go find the COEX mall where the aquarium is that we didnt see last time we went up there
Thomas was pretty amazed at all the super fancy cars that are up there. He kept telling me how much each cost…usually close to what we got our house for…
But then all I could do was say “A REAL Ferrari!” just like Luigi from Cars.
Oh my gosh it’s after 5 and I need to start dinner. Didn’t realize I had 100 pictures to share. Oops.
Anywho, starfish!
CREEPY freakin huge crab. Gross.
And the big finale (Layla’s favorite)
I think she would have taken one home if she could have
Coming out of the aquarium you go through the gift shop (of course) and Thomas was in a crazy generous mood. Even after Toys R Us the kids still got to pick something from the gift shop. Layla got a penguin figure (duh) and Timmy got…a tiny tractor Oh well. Better than the $15 alligator puppet he was offered 
We walked back across the world COEX to get to the car and then had to find our way out of the huge buildings to get to the freeway. Theyre so big. Like you cant see the sky unless you look up big. Crazy. I kept saying over and over how big they were. Total tourist.
We had a great day! Totally long and everyone was DONE when we got home but it was a GOOD day.
Welcome to week 2 of Find It Friday! Sorry today’s post is up a little late (for Korea people anyway…) but we drove up to Seoul today and were gone ALL day. It was a blast and I have a trillion pictures for another post.
Today’s Find It Friday word is OLD.
My wedding ring. It spends more time on this little dog’s tail than on my hand but I still love it to death. It was my…great grandmas?? Mom, jump in and correct me if I’m wrong. My grandma gave it to me when I got married and it means the world to me.
Do you have a picture to share this week? If so add your link!
I’m linking up again today with Jessica at Sweet Green Tangerine.
It’s her Thursday Book Chat!
Only this week it’s less of a chat and more of a see. Pictures! Pictures of your books, where you read, you reading, and any other bookish things you want to share photos of.
My Spot. After waiting for my fancy reclining couches to get here (which I still LOVE) I end up still sitting here a lot. Its sooo deep. I can curl up and still fit. And the arms are wide and flat. Perfect for a laptop, coffee cup, or school books
Random books stacked on our crazy step tv stand
Please ignore 'Vodka' in the stack of kid books...
Timmy’s stack of books
Non board kid’s books
Layla climbing into her closet to swap out a book. She has spent the better part of her spring break blowing through the Magic Tree House series
My other spot. Standing in the kitchen Nook-ing. I feel like people leave me alone when I stand in the kitchen instead of when I’m sitting on the couch at their level. By people I mean Timmy.
So I hover over the counter tops and read
And that’s it Our little reading world.
I’ll be back tomorrow with my Find It Friday post for the word ‘OLD’.
Hey everyone. I just wanted to stop in and say Hi. Mostly because I ave a ton of homework to do and I can’t get the website to load on either of the computers or any of the browsers. I’m grumpy and am taking a break before I throw something.
We are halfway through spring break and haven’t really done much. I feel kind of lousy about it. Tomorrow we’re going grocery shopping. That’s exciting, right?!
Or not…
Friday Thomo has the day off so we can actually do something Spring Breaky. I think we are going back up to Seoul to visit the aquarium that we didn’t go into last time. Then maybe find some cherry blossoms? We’ll see.
Also, wanted to remind you of this week’s Find It Friday. The word to shoot for this week is ‘OLD’.
I haven’t taken any pictures since the park so today I’ll just share some instagram photos. If you follow me then this is all old news so just ignore me.
And that’s all for now. The kids are going nuts. I need to entertain them or something before they burn the house down.
Holy moly yall! It’s beautiful today! Almost…HOT! It’s in the 60s and so so nice out.
After lunch the kids and I loaded up in the hoe and went to find the Super Park on post.
It’s really a fantastic park. One side is for bigger kids and one side for smaller kids. BOTH kids had a blast.
AND the place was jam packed with lady bugs. SO fun!
Timmy was fascinated by the bugs
Oh wait…Timmy what are you NOT doing?
My favorite was when one landed on his head and he didn’t know.
He went all over the place with that sucker on his head.
Then it fell on his shoulder. Then climbed up his neck behind his ear. Then fell again onto his shirt.
So he picked it off and stuffed it through a hole.
And then got distracted by fire trucks. Such a boy.
Layla was at the park too. I promise. She was off running with other kids while I followed Timmy to make sure he didn’t kill himself on the playground.
