Valentine's Day Exchange

At school, the kids exchanged names for Valentine's Day. They had to bring something for their Valentine. They were not allowed to buy their gifts, they had to make them. Tristan made a dinosaur for his friend Nazar and Noah and I made bubbles for Hannia.

  Nazar loved his dinosaur and Luisa (the little girl who had Tristan) made him a dinosaur too!  They were very happy with their gifts.

Aylin  made Noah this cute marshmellow cookie monster!

Happy Valentine's Day!

The Quiet Cricket

Some friends of Mariana have asked me to take some pictures of their little boys in the park.   I've been thinking about taking some shots of them reading on a blanket, so of course I had to try it out first with my boys.  We took, The Quiet Cricket, and an old sheet out into the yard and I had at it.  They cooperated about as long as the story lasted (really only a few minutes with Tristan speed reading).  And as soon as the story was over this is what happened... That's my boys :)

I was able to convince Tristan to read the story one more time. Noah, however, had reached his limit.  Instead he headed into the house to hunt down his Spiderman costume.

Happy Birthday Grandma Cata!

Strawberries

 

Last weekend when we are Mariana and Yeyo's place for Grandma Cata's birthday celebration the kids got into the greenhouse out back and look what they found, Strawberries!  Yum!

The Simple Things

On my way home from school on Thursday I walked past the stands selling toys and trinkets outside the primary schools and I saw bubbles.  I decided to buy some and when I got home I took the boys outside to play with them.   Tristan found a way to make the bubbles about sword fights-no big surprise there.  The goal was to pop all the bubbles before they hit the ground (with the light savor of course).  He gave himself a good workout and did pretty well, too.

New Cafe

I love to go out for brunch and once in awhile when we are feeling too lazy to cook dinner too.  But with the boys it has to be a very little boy friendly place.  We have our place to go for barbacoa but it is strictly a weekend place.  Then just recently a little cafe open up in the center which is perfect for us AND it open all week.

They have a cute outdoor seating area.

They provide table games such as jenga, errr building blocks.

The food is simple but yummy.

REALLY Yummy!

And their tables have built in ramps for Rayo McQueen.

What more could we ask for?
