Dentista / Dentista

Sí, nuestra visita al dentista fue todo un éxito. Las niñas se portaron muy bien he hicieron un gran trabajo (claro, la sicología de qué sí le enseñaban los dientes al doctor y le permitían hacer la limpieza iríamos a Toys R US) y dió resultado.

Nosotros tuvimos que sentarnos con ellas pero, lo que importa es que pudieron hacer las limpiezas. Todos tuvimos hoy nuestras limpiezas y estamos libres de caries, muy bien. Luego, fuimos a Toys R Us, allí le dijimos que escogieran lo que desearan (una princesa, un caballito, una muñeca) lo que quisieran pero, ellas fueron buscando un payaso y no lo encontraron así que decidieron seleccionar una bola y ya. Nosotros estabamos sorprendidos pero, esa fue su elección. Luego, fuimos a McDonald's a comer y jugar y por último a Walgreens donde seleccionaron un rompecabezas de Dora. Ellas estaban muy contentas con sus nuevos cepillos de dientes (de Blancanieves cortesía del Dr), la bola, la comida y el rompecabezas.

Simplemente fue una tarde espectacular.

PS: Cada vez que añado una foto tengo problemas y lo tengo que hacer una a una, alguien tiene el mismo problema o alguna sugerencia.

Yes, our visit to the dentist was all a success. The girls behaved very well and did a great work. Of course, a little psycology was used; if they let the dentist do the cleaning we would go to Toys R US and it worked.

We had to sit down with them but, what it really matters is that we could do the cleaning. We all had our cleaning today and we are free of decay, very good. Then, we went to Toys R Us, there we told to choose whatever they desired (a princess, a ponny, a doll) but, they were looking for a clown and there was none so they choose a ball instead. We were surprised but, that was their selection. Then, we went to McDonald' s to eat and play and finally to Walgreens where they selected a Dora the Explorer puzzle. They were very happy with their new Snow White toothbrushes courtesy of the dentist, the ball, the food and the puzzle.

It was simply a spectacular afternoon.

PS: Each time that I add a photo, I have problems and I have to do it one by one, Do anyone has the same problem or some suggestion?

Pintando / Painting

Como parte de nuestras actividades de verano las niñas han disfrutado pintando. Es divertido verlas darle rienda suelta a su imaginación y ver sus creaciones.

Lamentablemente, no pude colocar más fotos por que no subían, así que tendrán que esperar,jaja.

Annie

PS: Aún faltan más actividades por mostrar.

As part of our summer activities, the girls are having some fun painting. It is amused to see them free their imagination and see their creations.

Sadly, I could not place more photos because the machine is kind of slow tonight, so you all will have to wait until next time, haha!!

Annie

PS:Yhere is still more activities to show you.

Fin de Semana / Weekend

Nuestro fin de semana fue verdaderamente tranquilo y por fin, hoy tuvimos el domingo fue un día totalmente soleado después de dos semanas de lluvias.

Viernes: Mi mamá vino a visitarnos con mis sobrinos en la mañana y ellos aprovecharon para jugar con las niñas. En la tarde por primera vez, no pudimos asistir a la clase en el gimnasio ya que comenzó a llover, así que estuvimos en casa.

Sábado: Limpieza de ventanas y screens, de más está decir que es agotador pero no tengo ama de llaves que haga ese trabajo (además no sé si podré tener a alguien limpiando en mi casa). Luego, adivinen, sí comenzó a llover otra vez. Así que no hubo salidas de la casa.

Domingo: Por fin, las niñas y yo pudimos salir de la casa y no llovió. Así que hubo que ir a comprar unos víveres y a prepararnos para algo muy importante en nuestro hogar.

Ojalá que esta semana sea una bastante soleada y podamos hacer varias cosas fuera de la casa y prepararnos para llevar el martes a las niñas a su segunda cita en el dentista, oh Dios.

Que tengan una feliz semana.

Annie

Our weekend was very tranquil and finally today (Sunday) we had a completely sunny day after two weeks of rains.

Friday: My mom came to visit us with my niece and nephew in the morning and they took advantage to play with the girls. In the afternoon for the first time, we could not attend gym class because of the rain, so we stayed at home.

Saturday: Cleaning windows and screens, it is exhausting but I do not have maid that can do that work for me (besides I do not know if I will be able to have someone cleaning my house). Then, guess, yes it started to rain again. So there was no going out this time.

Sunday: At last, the girls and I could leave the house and it did not rain. So it was time to buy some provisions and to prepare for something very important in our home.

I hope that this week will be a sunny one and we can do several things out of the house and go to the dentist, oh God.

Have a happy week.

Aloha Friday!!!!


click the button to play along with Kailani at An Island Life

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day to take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My question:

You are with your kids eating at a restaurant and at some point one of them say that wants to poop, so what do you do?

a. Go to the nasty restroom

b. Go to the van and put a diaper

c. Go to the van and use the potty but you know the car is not going to smell good.

d. Other


My answer:


Because I know my girls are so picky we ran to the van and put a pull up. Is much better than an accident at the restaurant, right.


Happy Friday and enjoy the weekend.

Días Buenos y Días Malos / Good Days and Bad Days

Cada día es único y diferente. Por eso quiero plasmar como fue nuestro día del lunes.

* 12:45 am - Pablo y yo nos vamos a dormir

* 1:00 am - Se interrumpe el servicio de energía eléctrica

* 2:00 am - Las niñas se van a nuestra cama (duermen unos pocos minutos). Luego comienza la incomodidad por el calor y de haber cuatro personas en una cama (tamaño full).

* 3:30 ó 4:00 am - Vienen los recogedores de basura (comienzan las preguntas acerca de ellos.

* Around 5:00 am - Supuestamente estamos todos dormidos,noooooo.

* 6:30 am - Mami se cansa y las lleva a su cuarto y de allí en adelante comienza mi día y sí pensaron que ellas se dormirían, se equivocaron.

* 7:45 am - Pablo sale a trabajar

* 8:00 am - Reestablecen el servicio de energía eléctrica (contaron verdad fueron 7 largas horas)

* 9:00 am - Quitan el servicio de agua (no es mi día)

* Comienzan las "siestas" de 5 minutos y por ende, unas niñas muy molestas por el sueño.

* 1:00 pm - Siesta para ellas y yo disfruto de mi tiempo a solas.

* Después comienza nuevamente la batalla por querer dormir mucho (cosa que era imposible debido a que luego en la noche no dormirían).

* Solución: Un baño para eliminar todo el sueño, resultado positivo.
* 3:30 pm - Reestablecen el servicio de agua (menos mal que hoy no tenía que cocinar)

* Por lo menos finalizamos el día con ellas tranquilas.

Vaya día verdad!!!

Each day is unique and different. Therefore I want to tell you how was our Monday.


* 12:45 am - Pablo and I went to sleep

* 1:00 am - Electric power is interrupted


* 2:00 am - The girls get out of their beds (sleep for only a few minutes). Then begins the inconvenience because of the heat and the fact that there are four people in a full size bed.

* Between 3:30 and 4:00 am - the trash collectors arrive to our street (many questions about them and no sleep).

* Around 5:00 am - Finally asleep, noooooo.

* 6:30 am - Mommy is tired and take them to their room and there is when my day begins and if you thought that they would fall asleep, you are wrong.

* 7:45 am - Pablo leaves to work


* 8:00 am - Electric power is back (you are right, 7 long hours with no power)

* 9:00 am - Now the water service is gone (is not my day)

* they started having 5 minute naps and therefore you have cranky girls all morning


* 1:00 pm - Siesta time and I enjoyed a little peacefull time to alone.

* Later the battle to sleep more continues (thing that it is impossible because later at night they would not sleep).

* Solution: A bath to eliminate all the drowsiness, positive result.
* 3:30 pm - Water service is back (at least I did not have to cook today)

* The rest of the evening went tranquil.

What a day right!!!

Aloha Friday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day to take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too. Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.

My question is:

If you have the opportunity to meet some of your "blogger friends" in person, would you do it?

My answer is:

Yes, I'm anxious to meet some of my "blogging friends" but I'm a little afraid with the language barrier. Ok, I speak some english but when I have to talk to someone that speaks other language I get scared because I don't want to make mistakes and I'm thinking, is he or she really understanding me. Hahaha!!!!

Happy Friday and have a wonderful weekend.

Annie
