Mellow Yellow: Lego Sumo

Remembering lego's and the creativity they fostered = happiness!

Remember lego's? Well, I wandering into a Lego store last weekend and to my surprise it was a really fantastic place!! Their were a ton of unique lego displays (all a perfect kid height) and the sumo wrestlers and karate chopping guy were two of my favorites!!

The best part of the store was the back wall (which I am smacking my head that I didn't get a picture of) that held a zillion different shapes and colors of individual lego pieces. In hind sight, I think I would have given out lego pieces for a self made design as a wedding gift. How cute would that have been? You could even pick whatever colors matched your wedding!! I may still need to work this into a creative gift or party in the near future!

I have a few more lego creations to share through out the remainder of the week. What lego creation do you remember from earlier years?

Where the trains cross

Taking a different perpective on things = happiness!

One of those days... good to have a fresh look at the things happening around you. Things don't always go how you expect. Have to learn to roll with punches.

Happy Spot Hump Day: Nature

Readily lazily in a field full of flowers = happiness!

My happy spot today is a field of flowers. It doesn't really matter what kind, but I know I would enjoy a gentle breeze blowing through them and for the field to go as far as my eyes could see. Sounds peaceful, right? Oh, and I would bring a blanket and good book... and sit in that field until it was too dark to read any more. Katie could come too! Bet she would enjoy a good nap in a field!

Where's your happy spot today?

What Happy Tastes Like

Football and ice cream = happiness!

It's probably not the first combination that you immediately think of, but picture yourself at an August pre-season game in the 90+ heat and humidity of NY... and ice cream should now enter your thoughts!

Plus, after eating a few spoons I noticed Carvel's tag line, "It's What Happy Tastes Like!" Mr. Happy and I almost at the same time thought that we had to bring you a picture or two of this happy little cup. A big thank you to the cameo of Mr. Happy's hand!!

And, more importantly if you are now curious what happy tastes like ... march out and get yourself some Carvel!

Happy (chocolate-vanilla combo) is pretty darn tasty in my book!!

Giants

The camera's are rolling... and ACTION!

Ahh.. a pre-season football game; the weather is warm and excitement in the air as to what the new season will bring. You head in to the stadium early and get as close as you can to see the players warm up and doing drills!

It's hard to say how the Giants are going to do this year, but I had a blast watching them play!

Here is a sneak peak at their warm up efforts!

Wait! That's not a football player... but it's fun to see that all sorts of people can appreciate a good game of pig skin! Go Big Blue!

Mellow Yellow Monday: Giants

Taking in a pre-season Giants game and seeing Feagles warm up with some high kicks = happines!

Mr. Happy is a huge Giants fan so we do what we can to see a game or two each year. Their is a little bit of yellow in this photo and it sure makes everyone happy to see the football soar through those yellow goal posts!

More Giants excitement coming at you this week!

Big Mouth Bass

Catching a whopper = happiness!

We haven't fished as much as we would have liked to this summer, but we did make it out last weekend and caught a whopper. Well... to be more specific Mr. Happy caught this whopper... a big mouth bass! I hooked one, reeled it in, and then didn't grab him fast enough which allowed him to jump off back into the water --sigh, next time!

The pair of them would have made for some "good eat-en!"

Bunny

It's a very bunny day!

Can you see little bunny foo foo in this picture? Saw this guy/gal after a fishing adventure last weekend. Pretty darn exciting to get of a few pictures before all I saw was a little white tail hopping into the brush.

Get a little nature in your day!

Pickles

I am a big fan of marketing (ask Mr. Happy)... I get sucked into a commercial whether it be a billboard, radio, tv... or branded car. When I saw this rocket pickle I couldn't help but giggle.

Almost doesn't matter if a deep fried pickle would taste good, right? Eating a deep fried pickle apparently gives you rocket power!!

Drive In

Going to see a flick or two at the drive in = happiness!

As soon as the nights in NY get warm enough I am begging the movies coming out to be good so that I can go see them at the local drive in! It's a great date night for Mr. Happy and I... we can sit back, hold hands, eat popcorn, pretzels, and candy and have a relaxing night! Oh, and we bring Katie! Yup, she has been to the drive in either 3 or 4 times :)
