Hammock ハンモック

The kids made a hammock connected to the bunk bed using a cotton bed cover.
子供たちがベッドカバーでハンモックを作りました。


They all love lying in it and reading books, such as Toshi is doing here.

3人とも、ハンモックの中で横になるのが大好きです。ハンモックの中で本を読む悟志。


No wonder they love the hammock, because all of them spent a lot of time in one when they were babies! (This is Meena)
子供たちがハンモックが好きなのは、赤ちゃんのときにいつもスリングで抱っこされていたからかしら。(これは、美奈です。)












Hair cut 


悟志、ようやく髪の毛、短く切ることにしました。
Satoshi got a haircut. We do not cut his hair that often, so we wanted to do something unusual....



We cut one side short, but decided to leave the other half uncut, just to be funny.
左半分の髪の毛を切った後、ジョークのつもりで右半分、そのままにしてみることにしました。



Below is the overall look. He has kept it like this for a week to see people's reaction. We were very surprised to find out that most people do not notice the difference.!
What do you think?
友人たちが驚くかなあと楽しみにしていましたが、ほとんどの人は気づきませんでした。ちょっとがっかり。創也は、スタイリッシュだと言っています。まだ、右半分は切っていません。どう思いますか?

The day before Diwali

Today is a day before Diwali, the biggest Hindu holiday--the festival of light. Many Hindu homes decorate their houses with lights. We took a walk in our apartment complex to enjoy the early "Christmas" (that's how it feels to us) lights. After coming back home, we carved a pumpkin to remember the fall season that we celebrated in past years in the USA.
