Today was a good day!

That's not to say that all days aren't good days, but today, it was a REALLY GOOD day! We started our day before the break of dawn. I guess the kids are accustomed to getting up for school on weekdays that Saturdays will be the same from now on...Diego was the first to get up and some how we all ended up in Mami & Papi's cama snuggling and watching cartoons til 8 am. Then we ate breakfast, and the children watched some more Saturday morning cartoons while Mami cleaned. I was able to rearrange furniture, mop floors, start laundry, do dishes, and get the children dressed with no major tantrums!!!

Later, we went to the Blu Rabbit in Alabama to play for about 2 hours. The children were tired, because I allowed them to skip their ciesta- which is a real big thing for me, because I try to be real consistent with their scheduling, but since their Papi is away, I wanted to do something fun with them so they wouldn't be totally bummed. I took some school work with us and in-between running thru the castle, Andrew and Tatiana did some worksheets. Andrew was great! I wish I had video of him helping Diego climb up the castle. He would jump down and push Diego up each level, because Diego was not tall enough to climb over. They played well. I sang one liner songs ALL the way home because I didn't want ANY of them to fall asleep.

They got home and played outside for a little while, they all had sock hats on. I took pics; I thought they were so cute. Then we had supper, and baths. Andrew and Diego got haircuts. Andrew worked on the computer on Starfall. Diego and Tatiana sat on the couch watching and repeating what the computer said. It was great. They all got along so well! Then, we had milk & cookies! I showed them how to dip their cookies in milk. I should have taken a picture of that...maybe next time! Then, it was brush our teeth, get a reading book, and off to bed. The boys were a little loud, and didn't sit thru the whole reading, but we were able to pray and they both went off to bed right away!!! Tatiana and I read and prayed, she went to sleep right away as well.

Sweet...now, I've got dishes and more laundry, but the house is quiet, and Diego hasn't even got out of bed tonight, like usual (He sometimes makes 4 - 5 trips to the bathroom before he drifts to sleep!)...
