BenToy

That’s a word I coined using this formula: Bento + Toy = BenToy.  Check this out…

Yes it is a toy.  Abby’s!  It looks so ridiculously real, don’t you think!  Promise!  It’s a belated birthday gift from her Ninang Pinky and Tito Keith.  The Chinois kids, Abby’s cousins, Luigi, Rafa and Marga, gave Abby the book “First Book of Sushi”.


Abby and her belated birthday loots


Care for some sushi?

I love this toy bento box.  It’s so child friendly.  The chopsticks and the sushi/maki pieces have velcro on them.

Look ma, one chopstick only!  Hahaha!

I didn’t realize it was sooo easy to make a tamago sushi

And check out the nori (sea weed)!

September is beginning to feel like Japanese culture appreciation month here at out home.  First, Abby got a Hello Kitty showcase (last week).  And now, these!  Hee hee.  I’m not complaining.  Gifts no matter the price and size, are signs of abundance. ;) To our Kingdom-based family, thank you again for these wonderful gifts!  Mmmwah!

oOo

The Bento box toy and the sushi book are not the only belated birthday presents Abby received.  MrsPartyGirl’s unica hija, Ninna, also sent Abby a Nintendo DS Game.  I now have to share my DS with Abby.  I don’t mind, believe me.

Ninna, Abby sends you her thanks! Mmmwah!

oOo

Aba, I received a belated birthday present, too!  A few weeks after my birthday, my friend, Nell, sent me a beautiful token of friendship cum birthday gift…

It’s a heartwarming book about friendship.  I hope Nell isn’t suggesting that, if the two of us were to stand side-by-side, we’ll look like the elephants on the book cover.


Birthday card from Nell.  Very creative, ‘no?


Warn birthday wishes from San Francisco

To Nell, thank you, Friend!

oOo

I wish you all a wonderful weekend!  Cheers!
