*The girls swimming skills are really taking off. We started just a few weeks ago and they were fear stricken in la pacina grande...but everyday they begged to go. But now just over a month in the states.. They both joyfully leap off the diving board, coming to the surface with giant satisfied grins on their faces.
* They stopped hugging everyone within the first week... and now only hug who is in la familia. They love who is their family and drag them off to see their new drawings and accomplishments. Yeni is driven by the prospect of la esquela...she can't wait and would flatten the world to ensure her attendance.
*My mom took the five year olds (yes I have 2 of them) out to school shop. WOW did they make out like little bandits. I told my sister; had I known that all you had to do was just pile the clothes in a whirl of confusion on my mom and then shuffle her to the cash register .... I would have been so much better dressed as a kid. So both of the 5 year olds have brand new wardrobes thanks to my mom!!!!! Shout out to the Moo for all the new la ropas!!!!! We are very thankful. When the girls came home they were in such a frenzy of showing off their clothes... Papito was very impressed!
* When the 5 year olds came home with all their shopping loot the 3 year olds (yep I have 2 of those too!) looked on in amazement... and then went in on what stuff they will want for "their school". We do lessons everyday at the kitchen table... so I think they are reaching pretty high to think they need new clothes for that. But to make them feel important I picked them up some new sandals... because holy cow they are always wearing each others shoes and then I look out the window and see one 3 yr old dragging the other by their foot yelling, "get out of my shoes.. those are mine.. you lost yours"... and the smaller three year old screaming about "getting to them first, you were sleeping". Three year olds could really produce a great reality show featuring all their daily antics... Come to think of it.. our house would be a great reality show...It would be a hit!
