I have my eyes on you

Today I remembered that a while ago I bought  some googly eyes. I showed them to Kelsey and the first thing she did was to open her eyes really big and gave me a smile.
I draw the 'templates' and helped her adding the eyes...

 

She added the final touches and made it hers.

When we finished the first one she said: "How about tio Tony, tia Palola..." and here we have them...

and tio Deivis, tia Nadia...

Our family made by Salma.

This one is completely made by Kelsey. She glued it, draw it and colored herself.

The Morales by Salmita.

Los Abuelitos by Salmita.

When we were finished Daddy came back from work and had fun with the googly eyes. They laughed a lot... they even tried it themselves, but not for long enough to take a picture of them.

someone thinks snow is yummy

day off

we woke up to see this. honestly, we were not expecting it at all. total surprise to our eyes. but after all the snow we have gotten before, four inches meant nothing. the girls were happy to play with it on the day off.

happy 40

cuando solo eramos Felipe y yo, el siempre me cantaba Las Mananitas la noche anterior o temprano en la manana de mi cumple. Luego se hizo tradicion y yo tambien lo hacia.
Ahora que tenemos a nuestras bebes lo seguimos haciendo y cantamos a quien le toque. Pero hoy muy feliz ya que Salmita me acompano a cantarle a papi las mananitas. Mi nina orgullosamente cantaba la cancion que habia aprendido el verano pasado. Hooray!

Ya para la noche no podia faltar el cantarle a papi Happy Birthday acompanado por un rico cake que le preparamos.

aqui ellas emocionadas por su papi... pero sobre todo porque habia cake que comer... no me dejaban tranquila ni un momento... apenas vieron que tenia los ingredientes en la cocina me rondaban a cada rato para ver si ya lo iba a preparar... luego cuando les llegaba el olor del cake horneando venian a preguntar si ya estaba listo...

No perdieron ni un momento despues de cantarle a papi y a buscar tenedores para empezar a comer.

Bartolo... nunca olvides lo mucho que te amamos y lo importante que eres para nosotras. Feliz 40 y que Dios te colme de mucha salud.

40

Happy 40th birthday my sweet lovely husband.

(here you are reading a book to baby K before 'meme time')

enfermitas

she is doing much better... still has to finish her medicine...

On the other hand, Little Kelsey started to get sick yesterday (oh boy how much drama) not quite the same virus as Salma has. She only needs to take medicine if she gets a fever.



new hair cuts

 Que mejor que celebrar un nuevo corte de cabello comiendose un cupcake de Cookie Monster.

Mi bebe esta enfermita... una infeccion en la garganta. no regresara a la escuela hasta la proxima semana. como se enota que esta enfermita? igual que mama... las ojeras

Adios mi querido Tio

I love you tio Perico - I have always love you and will keep you in my heart.

Preparando S'mores

Lo que me encanta de este video es que mi Salma esta hablando Espanol.

all about me poster

As predicted we did not have school today. Not too much fun in the morning since we had an icestorm... lots of ice to shovel.
Anyway... we have been working on this poster for the past two days.
She is the Student of the Month... which she is so proud about.
Also, she brought a Certificate of outstanding achievement for the month... Hooray for Salma...

The poster says:

3 Wishes:: I wish... to be healthy.  ... to travel to some place nice. ... to have a PET.

Some things I like:: cooking, baking, reading, princesses, and arts and crafts.

Some things I don't like:: alligators, corn, peas, and crocodiles.

When I grow I would like to be:: An Engineer.

Today, She stayed home with her sister.

Isn't it nice to have a day-off in the middle of the week?
Crossing my finger for tomorrow. I would rather make up for the snow-day during June than working on a day like they say tomorrow would be.

fairy wands

A few months ago (when the weather still was hot) we made fairy wands  in honor to one of our favorite books "Alice the Fairy"

too much snow

she is trying to get out, but it is not working.

mas nieve

Primero pensamos que hoy habria clases pero entrando con hora y media de retrazo.
Oh... pero a las cinco de la manana cuando veo mi telefono y tenia un mensaje que decia... "classes canceladas por hoy debido al mal clima" lo primero que hice fue apagar mi despertador y seguir durmiendo con una sonrisa en la cara.

Lo bueno de trabajar en el distrito escolar es que casi siempre cuando Salma (y muy pronto Kelsey) tiene libre... yo tambien!

Aqui estamos recien saliendo a la nieve. No nos dimos cuenta que papi estaba con la maquina de limpiar nieve y nos hizo esta maldad.

pajama days

are lazy days. When is really cold outside and we do not feel like going out... when is raining a lot... when it is snowing all day... when you just feel like staying with your pajamas for a change.

These are the lazy days.

P.S. I think we might have another one tomorrow.

colorful pancakes for my girls

Felipe and I are pretty sure they liked it. We could see it on their little faces. I had fun making them. I was a bit nervous at first because I am no artist, but they came up fine. I even made a happy sun for Felipe.

The girls did not know what I was doing. I wanted to surprise them. See it...

 

I had a good time making them because I always love to see my babies' faces when I surprise them with something new.

mucha nieve... no escuela

Decir que se divirtieron mucho es quedarme corta. Se divirtieron un monton! Mejor dicho nos divertimos un monton. Fue la primera vez que ellas hacian algo asi. Lo bueno que no estuvo tan ventoso y por eso no tan frio.

Salma aprendio rapido. Ya de una vez queria ir a la bajada de los ninos mas grandes. Al final hasta se bajaba con estilo.

Pensabamos que Kelsey no le haria mucho caso a los 'sleds' pero todo lo contrario, siempre preguntaba que si ya era su turno. Claro que todo estaba bien hasta que la nieve tocaba su piel.

Lo bueno de una tarde de mucho ejercicio? se volaron el almuerzo... regresaron con mucha hambre.

1.11.11

They say that a big storm is comming. That we won't even have school tomorrow.  You know what?
I hope we do get to stay home and spend the day indoors wearing our pajamas all day long.

Here is Baby K trying to eat the snow.

Also, in another note totally unrelated to snow. When Felipe and I went to sleep last night we found a little and beautiful surprise in our bed. Guess what it was?... a five year-old that did not want to sleep in her bed. Oh boy she scared me. I entered the room without turning the lights on and when I when to my side of the bed there she was.  I had the chance to give her lots lots of kisses. Unlike other times, she did not spend the night kicking or sleeping diagonally.

Daddy Love

Las quiere a monton. El siempre tiene un beso y un abrazo que darles. Le encanta que cuando llega a casa lo reciben con un "Daddy!!!"

Gracias a los dos por dejarme capturar este momento tan lindo.

when?

When is it going to be my turn? I can hardly wait...

Pleaaase Salma!
Is it my time yet?

Happy Friday

surprise... breakfast for dinner

Tonight I made the girls pancakes for dinner. Kelsey was thrilled with the happy face. It is hard to see but the pancakes are actually pink!

They spent the day together. Salma did not have school today (Three-Kings' day)  and they stayed with their pijamas all day long. How nice is that?
