Yum! Old Easter Candy



After exploring all the options minus the TV during a day long friend visit, we busted out the Easter Bunny House kit I purchased post Easter of this year. Originally, I thought it would be a fun FHE activity months ago, but alas it sat up in our pantry waiting for that special moment. The kids, against my suggestions, licked up the nasty frosting that was some magical powder mixed with water. They also had a hardy helping of rock solid "gummy" candies that couldn't have tasted that great. In the end, I had to put the hatch up so the kids wouldn't eat any more.

Matters Into our Own Hands


What do you to get rid of a kinked neck? I have done exercises, massaged, heat packed etc with no avail. Every night I would wake up with one inch worth of motion. Fernando excitedly brought home some acupuncture bling for my ear and my personal porcupine needles. I am a believer. Fernando helped me look at it as a chance for my body to heal itself.


Mia decided to take matters into her own hands with her wiggly tooth on Sunday even to the point of making that a part her fast. After almost over an hour of wiggling with distracting stories from my childhood, Mia finally lost her tooth.

Do you Blame Him?



Tiago is a man's man. He has built a number of transformable transformers out of blocks and plays rocket exploding games with pretty much everything. Yet, when his old sister gets great ideas, he can't help but join along.


I knew those ballroom dance gowns would come in good use sooner and later. Sooner with the chance to have the best twirl and later with blackmail for better behavior or dating better people. (just kidding on the last one. . .that would just be mean). It is a shame that dresses, high heels, nail polish, and make up are social no no's for boys, because they are amazingly fun to wear.
