Oriental Store Trip

We went to the Strip District in Pittsburgh last Friday to shop at the oriental store. It's been a while since we last shop there. I kept putting it off due to lack of budget lol. Finally, my husband said that we3 realy need to go because4 he himself misses asian foods lol.
Whenever I am in the asian store, I gets excited. I feel like I am in the Philippines lol. Our little shoppers did really well in helping us. Going home , they were munching some pinoy snacks.
We spent $160 for all these. Thanks to the generous hubs of mine. He doesn't care whatever I get which sometimes I get over board lol. But, it's worth it because we seldom go to Pittsburgh so everytime we're there, I make sure to get a lot.

Butterfly Haven

My sister-in-law Chris has a butterfly bush in her backyard which is in full bloom now. It is enjoyable to watch it because a lot of butterfly are feasting on the flowers. The last time we visited, I saw three different kinds/colors of butterfly but I will show you the one that I really love. There's three of them with the same colors but I couldn't take a picture of the three of them.

It's funny how each of them are flirting with each other. I just wish that I have a camera that would take a picture without delay hehehe. Every time I tried to take a photo of the three of them, I failed to catch it.

Aren't they pretty? I find it very relaxing to watch the butterflies fly around and sucking nectars from one branch to another.

I hope that you enjoy browsing these photos?

Do you have a particluar shot that you like? I'll share to you the bluish and black butterfly color next time.

Moon Flower

My FIL calls this Moon Flower. He has a lot of this around the pine tree at the backyard. The flowers are humongous, what interesting is that, the blooms does not last through out the day It's only in the morning where you see they are open wide.
Here's some different shots for you.
She is pretty isn't it?
Thanks for dropping by folks. Have a great Sunday! Linking this to Today's Flower.

Grocery Day

Some of you might have seen these photos already as I posted it in my Etcetera blog last year. These were taken at the Commissary inside the base in Korea. I miss shopping there because all the produce are really cheap compared to the stores in here. Hubby and I can buy a pack of pork ribs for just a couple of dollars but over hear, you will shell out 8 dollars to buy a decent one.

But anyhow, since I don't have any pictures of us in the grocery store over here, I decided to use these photos for the them at Mommy Moment this week.

Sometimes people would look at me like I am sort of weirdo or something when I am taking photos but what the heck, I don't care because I really want our kids to remmeber everything that we do together as a family.

Coke Refinery

These were taken a couple of weeks ago when we visited our niece in Follansbee. There is a Coke Refinery on the way so I took some shots. The kids love the flames that is coming out from the torch (not sure if that's what you call it).
It's hard to take pictures when the vehicle is moving so photos here were not as great as I wanted it to.
Happy Sky watching everyone.
