Mami's Heart

This weeks, as always, my mind goes from thing to thing. There is so many ideas, many plans, many desires, many aspirations. The only thing I have to rely on is our Almighty Wonderful God. Thank you God for a wonderful life, as we walk on this earth with you. :)

Sunny days

We love summer, but this year our summer has been quite long. We have had about 80 days of three-digit temperatures, and the forecast is that they are coming back again. We are learning new ways to appreciate our sunny days, and take advantage of them. We tried 3 easy science projects for a day full with "SOL" (sun). Come and join us in the adventure...  :)

Indoor Race

When some of our friends are trying to salvage what is left after the flood, we are still playing mainly indoors because we have not seen rain for months and the temperatures continue to be crazy high. 

What a perfect time to create our very own indoor race...  and what fun we had.  :)

Christmas in August

Sharing and giving is one of the virtues I desire to instill in our children, and we had the perfect opportunity at church this past Sunday. As a congregation we have been supporting a missionary effort in Guatemala to bring transformation to a very poor town, with people mainly evacuated from the mudslides.

The Circus : El Circo

Anyone remember their childhood experiences going to the circus? I just love it... I still get all excited just thinking about it. This summer is going to be the first experience for our KidDOS at the circus. We started to prepare and have fun beforehand. Here are some of our ideas, I hope you enjoy them!

Well checks: D is for Doctor

Anyone had an stressful doctor visit? With 2 toddlers in the same visit and Papito not being able to come with us, it was challenging for me. After our last visit I decided to spend some time with the kidDOS learning about reason why we go to the doctor.

Here some ideas I have tried before our next Doctor's visit. We started by reading our now favorite book: TJBearytales: My visit to the Doctor. We have been reading the same book almost every day for a week. I am still amazaed how small children love to read the same book over and over. Now they can almost tell me the story by memory.  Fun, fun, fun.  :)

Fun with Airplanes:Aviones

Summer is such a fun time!!   New experiences are full of excitement and learning opportunities.

As we have been at the airport several times this past months we started to read and talk more about airplanes, "aviones" in Spanish. I decided to focus our readings and activities around this topic the week we went to pick up grandma from the airport. We spent time playing with toy airplanes, we mimicked being airplanes flying around the house. At the backyard we observed airplanes as they fly above in the sky. We talked about the different airplane-colors and we also counted how many airplanes we can see.
