Somos los mejores del mundo!!

There is some celebrating in order -- Spain won the World Cup! (This is obviously not new news, and if you've been following our blog for awhile you know that pm is from Spain).

Needless to say - it's been an eventful day at the ampm household. Too bad we weren't in Spain to partake in all the victory fun. I bet the partying is probably still happening in streets all over the country. They sure know how to party hardy in Spain.

For me it was a rather lackluster game. Granted as a fellow (be it past) soccer player myself, I understand what big games and pressure can do to your head. I guess I was disappointed that the final score was only 1-0. I would have liked to see some more scoring from both teams. They certainly had their chances on both ends. *sigh

So here's a cute little side note about the game and the Spanish goalie, Iker Castillas. He's obviously a shy, and very emotional guy. (Did you notice that he never stopped crying once Spain finally scored? :)). Anyway, so his girlfriend is a Spanish journalist and they've been keeping their relationship pretty hush-hush during the World Cup. This video just goes to show how much you want to celebrate the happy times with those you care for. Enjoy!

30 Days of Creativity - Day 12: Lego Magic

Just because you have a busy day doesn't mean you can't take a few minutes to do something creative. Cue my day.

Yesterday we picked up this little Lego dude. We wanted to get the Zombie, but we got the magician instead. Oh well. There are plenty of creative things that we can do with him... In this shot he's asking for the rain to stop coming down on the weekends. No more water Saturdays through Sundays. Gotta it?

Other than magician photography it was a very busy day. Started off with a trip to the Green City Market. Sad to admit that my hesitancy to buy immediately before first checking out all the vendors did not pay off. I left before making any purchases on various veggies as to avoid getting bathed in the rain. Bummer. Next week I'll be back (I hope) with the sunshine.

Happy to see the U.S. tie in the game against England in their debut World Cup game. Sad that their only goal was a complete gift. The only way to celebrate that fortunate / unfortunate "victory" was with ribs at Ribfest. And naturally, more rain.
