The bento obession hit hard when I was shopping the other day. :D With the exception of the Ramune soda, all of this stuff will be featured in upcoming bentos. The food came from my favorite Japanese grocery store :D I can't wait until I move closer so I can shop there on a weekly basis instead of monthly.

*Update: Sorry I forgot to post the information on this picture! Okay from the upper right clockwise: Shiso (perilla) leaves, orange flavored ramune, pickled daikon radish, clickety click bento, udon noodles, kompeito candy (as seen on Spirited Away - one of my all time favorite animes), and scrapbook papers for photo backgrounds.

With the exception of the ramune and bento, all of these items will be featured in upcoming bentos, so be on the look out! :D I'll explain each item then.

Friday's zoo trip. I tried taking "non-typical" pictures, if that make sense. The kids really enjoyed their bentos and even though there was a little rain, it was a great day.

I love gardening, but I needed different shoes :D

This expression is my son's way of saying, "I love you." Does it get any sweeter? :')
