Imported Goods Festival at Sumiyoshi Shrine

Sunday morning we had a bit of a late start to the day.  I think the little one is feeling a bit under the weather.  She's starting to get the sniffles, so the congestion has caused some sleepless nights.  It took her a while for her to finally fall asleep last night, hence the late start of the next morning.  However, I just found out that I bought scented toilet paper.  Ha-ha-ha!  Not only it's pretty with flowers, but it's lightly scented that smells like flowers the little one tells me.  It didn't cross my mind too much.  I bought it because one, it was soft two ply and two it was cheap.  I guess there was a bonus of it being scented and pretty looking?  Go figure.

I sat in front of the laptop (my pc is on its death bed waiting for surgery) searching for Halloween ideas.  Apparently,  KK wants to be a spider this year and I haven't found any great craft stores here.  No Michael's here.  Who better to ask for a craft store than our Art Teacher, Ms. Toyama.  She actually gave KK a list and even drew out a map for her.  She's so sweet.  As I search for Halloween ideas, I thought of things we haven't done yet that we wanted to do.  Ah ha! There is the Fukuoka Municipal Zoo & Botanical Garden~! I think we can go there!  I map out the place and looked up all the admission information and even calculated all costs for the trip to and from.  I turn to the little one and asked her if she wants to go.  I get a "Sure." I look at her and girl is still in her chones!
