Medieval Festival

A couple of weekends ago, we went to the Medieval Festival here in town. It was a lot of fun! Oscar and I have been going for years but this year, it was extra special: we were there as a family. We all had a good time.

The Artist

We didn't know we had an artist in the family. Check this out. My mother bought a drawing board for Cesar's birthday last month. It's up all the time and I'm not sure who uses it more, Cesar or Rosa. She figured out that when you use the eraser everything that you drew disappears. It's fun to watch.

Family portrait

This is not the kind of family portrait that you are thinking of. No, we didn't get our picture taken by a professional. We don't need to... since we have an in-house professional. Cesar decided to draw us all on his board. From right to left: Cesar's self-portrait, Mama (the tallest), Rosa, Papa and at the bottom left, Copito, the cat. The entire family! Isn't he talented?

Flower girl

Isn't she beautiful?

Peek-a-boo

Did you know that bibs are great if you want to play peek-a-boo? No?? Rosa thinks it's the best.

Perfect eating manners!

I guess we discovered that Rosa absolutely loves spaghettis!!! I have to ask my mother because I know that we have a picture of my brother when he was a little older than Rosa with almost the same face. It's definetely in the family! This time I have to admit that she did it much better than with her First Birthday cake. This one is awesome!!

This is funny...

so funny...

Hang on... I need a drink! You're the last one!

Daddy and his children

There is nothing to say... just plain happiness!

I'm not even surprised...

I never thought it would NOT surprise me when:

- every time I turn off the light in our fun room I hear a dog barking - and no, we don't have a dog, we have a cat! It's one of Cesar's toys that, even though it's hidden behind a couch, I guess is sensitive to light!

- while taking a nap, I heard a noise coming from our bathroom: it was a frog, one of the toys from the bathtub. I guess that one just decided it wasn't time for me to take a nap!

- while teaching Rosa the different sounds that animals make, she only heard one part: what does the lion say? She growls at everything she sees (or almost). It's hilarious!

Nothing surprises me anymore. Life is so much fun with my two little munchkins!!

Routine exercise

Every evening, after dinner, after the bath, we sit on the couch to watch one episode of "Tom & Jerry" before going to bed. First of all, Rosa growls every time she sees the cat, which we think is hilarious. Then, Rosa decides to take this opportunity to exercise on the couch, where she jumps, throws herself on the pillows and has a lot of fun (and so do we).

Ready? Set? Go!

Okay, I'm done... for tonight! (Look at those curled toes. Can you do that??)

I would never have known....

... that there are so many different positions to watch TV. Enjoy!

Birthday boy!

Here are a few pictures from Cesar's third birthday party. As you can tell from the pictures, he is absolutely crazy about "Cars", the movie. He's seen it a million times already (or almost) and has all the imaginable toys/clothes/sheets/covers/shoes that you can think of. So naturally, the cake had to match the rest! We're still waiting for additional pictures from friends that were at the party. Hopefully I'll have more to post soon.

Is he happy or what??!!

Blowing the candles... ... and dig in!!

In the meantime, Rosa had fun with the wrapping paper and bows. How cute!
