Mmm...Pork...

The Discovery Channel has Shark Week. The Simpsons have Pork Chop Night. C&M like weeks and we certainly like pork (although M likes pork more than C does). So the idea to combine them was born. As a result, August 9 – 13 has been Pork Week. To celebrate pork week, M started out eating nothing but pork.

First, M made a pork smoothie for breakfast. When this idea failed, M turned to PB and jelly on a pork chop (an adaptation of his traditional breakfast). That was disgusting too, so M decided to celebrate Pork Week by taking pork loin slices for lunch. Luckily, C&M had just bought a couple of bento boxes at the giant Asian grocery store.

Below is a compilation of photos from this year’s Pork Week, featuring one of M’s new bento boxes.

See you next year Pork Week!

Whose Room? Bean's Room!

Bean's furniture arrived earlier this week and we've already started decorating.  Check out how his room is coming together!

Celebrating Our Sisters' Bday Without Them

Last week C&M's sisters (both of them) celebrated another great year with their birthdays.  In honor of these ocassions, C&M decided to have a birthday party - without them.  Ever wonder what you do to celebrate a birthday without someone - go to a demolition derby, what else.  Yes, we went to a demolition derby where drivers retrofit old cars and drive into each other until only one car can move.  See all of the photos from the party.
