Fin de Semana / Weekend
Annie
Another magnificent weekend, thanks to God. Friday we did not do anything in particular but Saturday and Sunday were two very active days. On Saturday as usual while Pablo works I did some housework. In the afternoon we went to a birthday and we had a great time. Sunday, we did some shopping and then we went to a new playground (is 45 minutes from home bye car). Simply a good weekend.

Cita del Dentista / Dentist Appointment
Annie
On Tuesday we had our appointment with the dentist for a cleaning. The girls behaved very well in spite of the wait of two and a half hours for our turn. None has decay and of course, both girls received a new princesses' toothbrush (both selected Belle, but of different color). We will return in six months.

Fin de Semana / Weekend
Viernes: Rutina normal de la semana y luego en la noche cenamos en casa de mi hermana y estuvimos hasta tarde jugando Wii (este juego es una adicción,jaja).
Sábado: La mañana fue para realizar algunas tareas de limpieza, lavado de ropa y un poquito de mantenimiento en el patio. Luego en la tardecita fuimos al parque urbano.
Domingo: El día más ajetreado. Hicimos diversas cosas tales como lavar ropa, limpieza profunda de patio, arreglar unas losetas de la sala e intentar darle primeros auxilios a la nevera que parece estar diciendo: "lo lamento, pero yo no doy más y me iré con el 2011" y esto significaría la desgracia para nosotros por que en este preciso momento no podemos salir corriendo a comprar otra nevera. Y para terminar, nos fuimos al parque urbano nuevamente (gracias al que tuvo la idea de construir un lugar como este).
Y que tal su fin de semana.

Sometimes I do not know if I want the weekend to arrive or not. Let me explain, with my husband working every day (including Saturday) there are some tasks that we need to do on Saturdays in the afternoon or Sundays, this means that sometimes we have many things to do. But, what is important is that we manage to find the time and we did it all.
Friday: Our daily normal routine and then in the night we had dinner at my sister's house and played Wii (this game is an addiction, haha).
Saturday: In the morning I cleaned the hose, some laundry and a little bit of patio maintenance. Then in the afternoon we went to the urban park.
Sunday: The most hectic day. We did diverse things such as laundry, deep cleaning of the patio, fix some floor tiles in the livingroom and tried to give first aids to the refrigerator that seems to be saying: "Im sorry, but I can not give more and I will go with the 2011" and this would signify a misfortune for us because at this I need moment we cannot go running to buy another refrigerator. And to finish, we went to the urban park again (thanks to the person who had the idea to build a place like this).
And how was your weekend?

Atención / Attention
Necesito ideas para lidiar con esta situación, por que no quiero que se convierta en algo que ella siga haciendo. Por favor, sus ideas son necesarias y urgentes (sí, así es mi nivel de desesperación).
Annie
Every father always faces challenges with their children. Being parents is not an easy task and it involves a lot of responsibility and sacrifices. I adore my girls with all my heart and of course, we have our difficult moments. For example, the last few weeks has been a bit difficult with one of them because apparently is as if she would not listen when we talk to her (no she is not deaf, she simply prefers to ignore me). I tell her to do something and I have to repeat it more than three times and she does not pay attention to me and finally that put to the test my levels of patience and tolerance.
I need ideas to fight with this situation, because I do not want this to become something that she might continue doing. Please, your ideas are necessary and urgent (yes, this is my level of desperation).

As many of you in our home we subsist with a single income so it is important to have different ideas of various activities with little or no expense. So these are some of my ideas to carry out during the weekends or durnig the month.
1. Making a recipe in family for dinner.
2. Reading a book of interest of all.
3. Sharing with friends in the house (all the assistants will bring something to the meeting)
4. A night of movies in the house (with pop corn, candies and soft drinks).

Maravilloso Fin de Semana / Amazing Weekend
Lo mejor es tener un fin de semana largo en el que se hagan tantas cosas. Es increíble que realizamos diversas tareas en el hogar, preparé diferentes comidas y ahora tengo algo en el refrigerador para otra ocasión, bordamos y hasta fuimos al nuevo parque urbano varias veces en el fin de semana. Simplemente, maravilloso.

The best of having a long weekend is being able to do many things. It is incredible that we completed several tasks at home, I prepared different foods and now I have something in the refrigerator for another occasion, we embroider and we even went to the new urban park several times in the weekend. Simply, marvelous.
