BBQ

We went to a great BBG at Stephanie's house this weekend, and Rin had a blast playing with the ice in the cooler!

A Big Help

Here is Rin getting ready to help Daddy sweep up the grass clippings.

Har har har!

We visited the Nishidas last week and Rin had an absolute blast with Nishida-san palying on the computer. He kept reducing and enlarging a picture of himself on the computer, laughing like a maniac the whole time. It was hi-larious!

Brooming Again

Here is Rin with his broom and pan sweeping the deck.

Cool Tunes, Bro

Here is Rin at HMV this weekend, chillaxin' with the headphones on. He's listening to トイレの神様 (Toire no kamisama) The Goddess of the bathroom, which sounds horrible, but is really a sweet ballad about a little girl's love for her grandmother.

Mah Broom, Let Me Show You It!

Here is Rin broomin' away as always.

Mirror, Mirror Part 2

Here is Rin admiring his handsome face.

Crouching Rintarou, Hidden Dragon

Here he is on our latest walk. His recent hobby is finding twigs and then crouching down to draw in the dirt with them. It's a trick he learned from Kou-chan.

Walking with Yuriko: Autumn Edition

Yuriko accompanied us on another walk to the park this past Friday. Note the matching outfits in the last pic!

Basketcase

Rin absolutely LOVES plastic baskets for some reason and always wants to touch them and play with them when we go out shopping. Here are two of his recent basket pics!

Neko-jarashi

Here is Rin holding a stem of Neko-jarashi (also known as green foxtail). I picked it outside our neighbor, Mr. Kozu's house and Rin had a lot of fun playing with it. (Fun fact: Neko-jarashi means "cat-teaser", as this grass is the perfect shape to use as a cat-toy)

Clean Sweep

Here is Rin back at his favorite pass-time: sweeping.

GAAAAaaahhh!

Rin amused himself to no end thew other night by playing peek-a-boo with the lid to one of our tupperware boxes. He squished it up against his face, then removed it to see my expression, laughing hysterically. It was the cutest thing EVAR!

Walking and Soujing

Unfortunately, this pic is a little blurry, but I caught Rin at on eof his favorite pastimes: pushing the vacuum. A mother's dream, right?

Swept Away

Rin's new hobby is taking the mini-broom and sweeping around the kitchen and the hall. What a great hobby!
