On the kids birthdays we wake them up with presents and singing. Then I let them chose what we do that day and what we eat; within reason. Emma chose to have crepes for breakfast then we went to the library followed but a special lunch date at El Chicos with just the two of us. She loves having "dates" with Mom and Dad. Then we swam at grandmas. I can't for the life of me decided what we had for dinner. I think I might have grilled chicken ???? OH well! I was a fun day!
Miguel wanted donuts for breakfast, to play video games, pizza for lunch, swimming at grandmas, we made some videos; which I will definitely be sharing! and then we went to our friends apartment building where they have a private theater and we watched Speed Racer while we ate McDonalds and popcorn.
I can't believe how big my babies are getting. Emma is 9 and Miguel 6! I just doesn't seem possible! They are two of the sweetest kiddos you'll meet. Emma is caring, nurturing and very laid back. She has her Daddy's tendency to correct you when she knows or just thinks you are wrong. She loves to read! She got a Kindle for her birthday which she loves! She also got a lot of other awesome gifts, She was a very spoiled little girl. Emma will start the 4th grade this year. She is still playing the violin and she loves to sing (in her room alone where nobody can see her). I love my Emmy and all the joy she brings to our home.
Miguel is a little spitfire. He has more energy than one small boy should be allowed! His excitement for life is contagious. From the moment he wakes in the morning his little mouth is going. He's asking questions and telling you about everything he knows. He loves critters from outside; which I'd prefer he keep outside but he insists on bringing them in to show me. He loves to tell jokes and stories. He loves his little brothers and adores his big sister. He is a very affectionate and sensitive little boy. He loves to be funny and the center of attention but doesn't like it when people laugh at something he's done. It makes it quite tricky! He is small for his age but makes up for it in personality. We love our little Miguel!
