"I'm gonna be free, and I'm gonna be brave. I'm gonna live each day as if it were my last--fantastically, courageously, with grace. Let's go everywhere, even though we're scared--cause it's life, and it's happening, it's really, really happening, right now."

Happy Children's Day!!
Also known as "Boy's Day",
but girls get to fly koinobori
{giant fish streamers} too.
Score for the ladies--two special days in one year!
This is also the last holiday
of Golden Week
here in Japan-Land.
And now it's back to school.

Oh my! Where do you find those little treasures like that adorable cat. I've been spending like the last 5 minutes just sitting here and giggling at it. True story! I think I'm addicted to it...
ReplyDeleteI want a kitty like that--I'll even put up with the long hair and cat box! Grandma
ReplyDeleteNice post Ashley. I remember first learning about Japan's "Childrens Day" when I was in third grade. You just took me back to the structural open-style team teaching classrooms of Orem Elementary. For those of us who look back fondly at childhood with tinges of nostalgia (and perhaps with the aid of selective amnesia lol)...thanks.
