Brazil Again

Julianna told me that she wants to go to Brazil tomorrow...I explained that we need to save $$$ to go to Brazil, I told her that the Airplane tickets are expensive plus the hotel and the food. She thought about a minute of what I said and asked if we can get more $$$. She said that she has a lot of money in her piggy bank and that she could find coins in the floor.

I wish that was that easy :-)

Brazil

We are in Buzios right now.. The kids are watching a movie and I am relaxing a little bit.
Julianna, Giovanna and Pedro Enrique played the whole time they have been together. It is amazing how well they get along even with the language issue. They slept in the same room last night and were very excited... giggling non-stop whenever I went to check on them.
Julianna is very stabanada (clumsy)...

Alessandra keeps trying to follow them and she thinks that she is a big girl too. She wants to walk everywhere and is only fussy when we try to restrain her. Alessandra smiles so much lately (all the time!). Last night we wanted to go to sleep and she kept laughing at eveything and would not go to sleep. She thought eskimo kisses were hilarious!

Julianna and Pedro spent hours getting shells and getting very dirty with mud right after the shower.

I am very sad that we are leaving so soon... I wish I could spend more time with my sister and her family.

Note from school

Julianna received a note from school saying that she had a hard time listening... I told her that if she had a good day, we would buy books at her school ( They are having a book fair this week) but after I saw the note, I told her that she would not get a book and she got a very upset. She promised that tomorrow she will try harder and maybe ...we will get a book.

Today I was talking with Julianna in bed about Brazil, she was counting the days and telling me what we are going to do on Friday... Drive to the airport, get into the airplane, walk to the car, drive to the hotel ...
I told her that I needed to go take a shower and she asked me why.. I told her that I was stinking ... she leaned over to smell me and she said : HUMMM ... you smell so good !!! Anything for me to stay just a little longer :-)

Jason is studding today again.. I can't wait for his classes to be over. I am very proud of him and how he is taking it very serious

Fun day at the fair

Today was a long day !!!

Jason had to study so I decided to do something fun with the kids. A friend of mine stopped by to bring a birthday present to Julianna and she told me about a fair near my house.

I loaded the kids into the car and decided to go... I am used to going anywhere with Julianna. She is a very easy girl and it is always fun. Well today I discovered how different my kids are. Alessandra DOES NOT STOP and she wants to do everything that Julianna is doing. She wants to eat and touch everything also.

Julianna got her face painted, planted a flower, decorated a tile, went to 2 jumping things and ate a corndog. The day was fun but I am exhausted.

At the end of the day, I took the girls to eat frozen yogurt from Yogurt World in Mira Mesa (and btw... I am so addicted to that place) and it was fun. I had to give some to Alessandra and she loved it. Since she can eat normal yogurt, I thought that Frozen Yogurt would not hurt.
