Just a Couple of Things

1. The new maid, in addition to organizing all of the drawers and closets today, made 4 loaves of homemade bread.

2. Yesterday we saw a sloth in a tree at the kids school. How cool is it to see a sloth at your school??? Of course I didn't have my camera, so you'll just have to take my word for it.

3. After examining Julio's library book about WWI with the boys, I mentioned how I hoped that none of my boys would ever have to fight in a war, to which Julio replied, "Don't worry Mom, I'm not going to join... (pause) ...but I do want to be on a paint-ball team."

4. Pedro now knows most of the colors and can count to 10 in English and Portuguese. Smart little cookie!

5. Only 2 of 3 scheduled service men made it to the apartment today. The one that was here to fix the hot water heater that sporadically turns itself off for 24 hours at a time told me that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the heater and left. GRRRRRRR. The telephone guy fixed the phone and the plumber never showed up...

6. My kids are not allowed to play the Wii during the week-not until Friday after school. It's really ticking off Julio.

7. I finally set up my new ipod. I got it for Christmas (35 days ago). The last one took me like 4 months to set up. I have yet to touch the new camera. Why am I weird like that???

Your maid is a keeper!

#7...I am like that, too. Are we lazy or just content with the way things are, or both? :-) If you figure out why we are like this, let me know. :-)

You need to keep that maid! She sounds like she is a lot more interested in actually working than your other one.

#3 made me :D

How cool to see a sloth! When I was little I was fascinated by them, I wanted to have one as a pet.
LUCKY!
