Shiny Clothes & Grimey Walls

So, through many of my blog posts you've seen many different South Asian clothing styles... There's the sari, the different kinds of suits, Kurtas, etc.... But what I haven't introduced you to are the awesome outfits that South Asians put on their kids... I was at the Market the other day and was buying a few little clothing items for Aashini and the guy that I usually buy from told me he had something that I should get for her... He pulled out this outfit... It was super tack-fabulous (tacky) - and very sparkly... AND it was only $1 for the outfit, so I thought - haha! why not!? So I bought it... I want Aashini to fit in with the culture here, right? haha!! So here it is!!....
Oh yeah, it's awesome!
And, on another note... it's still raining here!!! It hasn't rained in a couple of days now, so i think we might be back to normal - but we've been having WAY more rain than normal!! Usually in May, we have 17 mm of rain... but this year we've had 164 mm!!!!!!!!!! Crazy! Anyway, when you live in a super dry area of the country (like we do) and then you get a lot more rain... well, there are consequences... Our walls for example:
They're actually worse than that now... and they're starting to stink.... So, as much as I hate to say this (and will hate myself later for saying this)... BRING ON THE SUN!! (I need to dry out my walls!!!) :)

WOW your wall got bad fast!! It was just a teeny speck of grime when we left. Have you been burning the clove oil like crazy? :)

On another note, YEA for Aashini's fun outfit! I must say, it photographs a LOT better than I know it looks in person. Get her some orange bangles and a bindi and she's good to go. Oh my goodness, I never thought of putting bindis on our girls until now. We've GOT to do it!

Ok, so it is a tacky outfit, but it is fun!
Misty said…
I love the outfit. That is so stinkin cute. She just needs on of those dots on her forehead and she'll really fit in. he he he... Yipes! I hope your wall dries out really soon. I bet that does smell bad. Hopefully it will dry up some for you guys!

Oh wow! I hope the sun comes out soon!!
Erin G said…
wow, that outfit IS a little much. But when she's five you'll look back at it with nostalgia and fond memories. YOUR red top, however, is absolutely gorgeous. I keep wondering if I can get away with something like that over my jeans here in NC. No one would see it, though, except Nathan. Now that I work from home I don't get out much. But yours is awesome!!

I was thinking the same thing as erin g. Love the red top you have! I'd totally wear that here. Wow, that wall is not in good shape! Hope there's no crazy Black Mold!

yeah, I'm allergic to mold, so we're keeping close tabs on our wall... we've been scrubbing it with bleach and so far it's not moldy - just ugly ;)

Campa Cola & Exploring :)

Today we had some things to do in the Central part of our city, so while we were there, we decided to take on some adventures :) Adventure #1 - the underground market. This market is pretty crazy. It's actually underground and has electronics & clothes mostly. They sell things pretty cheap, so it's an interesting place to go. Today we got an 64 Gig flash drive/pen drive for about $5. Crazy hunh? Here's Adam and Aashini in one of the stores. They're all REALLY small stores - about 10x10 feet I would guess (but I'm really bad at guessing that sort of stuff :)) We go here a lot to get things, so I guess it's not a new adventure, but an adventure nonetheless. Before the next part of our adventure (the real part of our adventure) we stopped for lunch. Aashini will always eat at McDonalds, so that's where we went :) They just started selling chicken nuggets here at McDonalds, so it's super easy to get her to eat there :) This McDonald's had high chair

Starbucks!

 Starbucks opened in our city last night!!  I'm not a huge coffee drinker... but I was excited about the opening!!  (I think I like Starbucks because of all the green! haha!... Aashini and Diya think the mermaid on the logo looks like me... haha! Maybe it's the weird wavy hair :)... not sure :) ) Anyway, we got there and the line was SUPER long!  The wait time was about 45 minutes!!!  There were so many people there!!!  I tried to get a pic of all the people... (that's why this picture is at an annoying angle... I was trying to get it all in in between the columns :))    Here's Aashini doing a jumping picture!!  The girls tried to do a jumping picture :) haha!  haha!  They had a few spills along the way :)  I never got them both jumping :)  Stuff for sale....  OK, one more because I think they are cute :) haha!  People waiting in line :) Some friends that made it inside! :)  We decided not to wait in line... So we'll
