An afternoon with Dora and Mickey Mouse!

This show was from the same people from Elmo from last week, and Dora from a few weeks ago. Sadly, tomorrow is their last show of the season, so we wont be able to see them as frequently. This one was in a crowded place, and we wouldnt have gone, except that Mickey was going to be there, and the girls were dying to see him. Mickey is one of Camila's favorite characters, so we needed to go. I left my purse at home, and hubby took one card plus a...

A day as a SAHM!

Im suppose to be a WAHM (Work at home mom), but there are days, like today, when I cant work and those are the days that I become a SAHM (Stay at home mom)...A lot of people wonder how is it that I can work at home, take care of the girls (which also means spend time with them, play with them, read to them, etc), do my part of the chores, cook, help Gaby with her homework, and still have time to spend with hubby everyday...Well, my secret is LACK...

They wanted to participate when they didnt want to be by themselves.... Here is hubby dancing...

Big Milestone day for Mimi (and mommy too, of course)

I have talked about this milestones over and over again, and even though I knew the day was going to come (sooner or later), I was still thinking it was going to be a bit more...Can you tell what is this???

This crib has been part of my life since before Gaby was born, and have been "there" through all my three girls... Words cant express how much I...

One of those activities was Story Time with Dora The Explorer and off we go.We went to pick up my dad's camera and it looks like it was because it was very low on batteries but all the photos came out BLURRY!!! That is very sad, but it is better than no photos, right?Besides Dora the Explorer, they also had Ernie from Keebler...
