So, everyday after lunch I like to sit down and watch my favorite tv show called FAMA a bailar.. a reality based show about dancers.. Anyway, everyday during the one hour show, Marco and Bella are usually screaming at each other, yelling, crying, hitting each other, running in front of the TV, asking me for a snack.. you get the picture.. I can’t relax..

But today, today was different.. yes, they went in to their playroom and closed the doors.. there was silence, and I know that is not a good sign, but for those of you who have kids, you will understand that a little peace and quite now and then is what is needed, specially when you are trying to work, get something done or just simply trying to relax..

So, even though I knew the silence was not a good sign, I sat back and enjoyed my one hour show..It was great.. When it ended I got up and opened the doors not knowing what I was going to find.. And the little voice inside my head was right.. they are up to something.. 

And, Yes, Yes they were, they got a hold of a marker and decided to make a road for their cars.. with painted cars as well.. At that point I figured I had 3 choices, kill them, cry or take a picture for the blog.. and as you can see I opted for number 3.

And guess who’s idea it was???

 
Another year is half way through and my husbands dream of going camping with the family every time seems more and more imposible..So, last week he thought it would be fun to camp indoors, since none of us were up for the real thing..

And so the quest began.. Marco and Bella helped him set the tent up while I tried to continue working.. All I could hear was don’t turn around, don’t look. but when I finally did, what I saw.. made me gasp.. At that moment my upstairs neighbor decided to drop by for an unannouced visit..

There they were, Matt, Marco, Bella and Precious all inside the tent as I went to open the door and let my neighbor in.. I could still hear her laughter in my head.. all she said, like she always says was..”These crazy Americans!!”

The tent stayed up for a couples of days, and Bella and Marco slept there.. I went in, looked around, imagined a bear coming to get me and got out as fast as I could.. My first and probably last time in a tent. hahahaa.. JK..
