seattle: cardston and emma lee

I spent a lot of time with these two cuties!

this would be the every morning routine,

just sometimes replace kitchen toys with disney figurines or

train toys, etc.

is he not the cutest?

see more of him here.

big thanks to emma for introducing everyone to marcel.

other mornings got a little creative.

fingerpainting!

but usually

no matter what was happening

..it was usually done naked

the last friendship time with the birds before

natalie got rid of them gave them as a gift to a neighbor!

c loves him some toys

don't you just want to put him in your pocket?!
(just realized i said that on my other blog about him.
i guess i just can't stop feeling that way!)

emma lee and i got bored sometimes

"megan you have got to come take a picture of cardston

on danial while he is sleeping!"

..i'm so so proud my family has begun to have an eye

for a good photo as well

and a little tuckered out tot

taking family pictures is a tiring thing!

really random post.

basically just wanted you all to see i have

the cutest nieces and nephews ever.

(i'll have to spotlight the other 27 later..)

seattle: antiques are the BEST - part dos

   

because i love antique stores so so much we headed on over

to puyallup to check out what they had to offer.

an antique that once belonged to flava flav perhaps?

amen

hey how did my parents vhs collection

get all the way over here?

what the?

oh how ticked i am that i owned all these toys

and my mom threw them all away!

creepiest dolls ever

real life swim cap!

gimme

yes to the original little people!

say that studio name five times fast

two of these things are not like the others

almost didn't make it into this little shop.

so glad they wanted to finish oprah

so they were open a few minutes longer.

aaaaand the picture of the day winner goes to this gal.

i rarely like the way my photos turn out

(self critical? me? noooo)

  but she looks great

and un-edited which makes her even better.

she lived in the best antique shop of all of them.

it was so great and so full of great things!

and they played really great music, i wanted to live there.

ok so i can't remember the name.

just trust me on this one.

anyway.

thank you for joining my second tour of antique shops in washington.

don't worry that i have like five more posts on my trip.

i know. i know! you can't wait.

(and by you i mean my mom, sisters, and maybe brynne)

seattle: antiques are the BEST

I'm obsessed with antique/second hand stores if you didn't already know.

i just love them!

out of all the ones in sumner washington,

 this is my favorite

the whistle stop.

kittens, inspired by kittens! 

 i've never wanted salt and pepper shakers more than these

creepy fabulous

i like these!

this really worked! 

i wanted to buy it and my biggest regret is that i did not.

i also wanted to buy these cups so so bad.

wouldn't they be perfect for ice cream?!

pioneers!

one day i want to collect old books

who doesn't like these tiny friends?

until next time best antique store.

love you forever.

seattle: one time i went to an asian store

i have a feeling this is going to be a disappointing post for most of you but this was one of the best moments of my seattle trip! 

we went to china town and perused the huge asian market they have. 

my sweet dad said we could get anything i wanted so i went on a hunt for all the great things i would eat in taiwan.

find #1: asian ramen! i'd eat this with my last companion all the time and the flavors are just so different. miso flavored is the best

(ps so glad someone told me it was miso, i thought it didn't have a translation and i was so sad i would never find my favorite flavor again. little did i know it was miso the whole time! not hard to find at all!)

these advanced otter pops. you could snap them in half and eat them while planning at night! or in the morning..really they were great any time of day.

asian drinks! gotta love all that tea haha

the yellow box would be these crazy wannabe caramels that were cheap so we would by them for little kids. not really excited to eat them, but i did feel excited they were there. 

(and hi-chews! weird that america sells them at 7-11 now)

definitely bought these chopsticks

bread dongxi! 

they love their crazy bread with stuff in the middle. 

(and so do i)

love this man and everything else about this picture

a real bento box haha

(they just love eating such gross things!)

seaweed, rice, and meat -

who could ask for anything more?

LOVED these gals. so tiny! 

i forgot how tiny my people are.

it wouldn't be an asian store without some good ol' idol worship.

gooooo buddha/pusa!

so..i ended up coming home with all these gems! 

it felt like christmas.

really..who knew those characters meant miso?

and this would be the thing i was most excited about. 

some zhua bing, which i really don't know how to say in english.

i think it says onion pancakes on the package but that makes no sense. 

they are delicious though, 

you should hit up the asian store near you and get some.

see? told you that was disappointing 

..but i think at least sister wang will like it.
