Precious (hahaha!!!) Moments


Santi, Santi, Santi.  Such a little bundle of energy full of mischeviousness.  

When we first arrived to the Bay Area, we rented a house.  The boys were misbehaving so Nico put them outside to calm themselves down.  BIG, HUGE mistake that Nico put them out with their ball.  Santi told Mati, "Don't worry Mati (Mati was having a drama-queen meltdown that they were outside!!), I'll get us back inside!"  And with that, he threw his ball to one of the windows, shattering it.
Price to get it fixed on a Sunday, in the middle of winter: $130.

Yesterday, Santi was doing his business in the bathroom.  I presume that when he set out to cut the toilet paper, the toilet paper roll rolled from his hand and went all over the bathroom.  To cover his tracks, he decided to put all the fallen sheets (and there were a lot of them!!!) in the toilet ... and flush!! Well, the toilet over flooded!  Water just kept on coming and coming out of the toilet, flooding the hallway and two rooms.
Price to dry the floors and prevent mold and mildew: $1300.  

Hopefully the next bill we'll have to pay from this little guy won't have another "0" added to the end!!

Water Babies

This summer was hotter than previous ones and that meant many lazy afternoons poolside. The boys really enjoyed the water, the endless hours playing with each other and with the tios, Tia and Benito. Their backs and arms have been sun kissed and are looking more handsome than usual!!

Summer Fun at the Fair

I took the boys out of summer camp one Friday and took them to an all American tradition: the summer fair. The rides, the lemonades, the heat: it all equalled great fun and some pretty tired kids ... and mommy!!!
