Lexi in Curlers

Last Sunday I really wanted Lexi to have nice pretty curly hair for church. I got some sponge curlers and told myself you can do this. Since I never had anyone to practice doing hair on when I was growing up this is a big deal for me. So I got her entire head rolled and I was so proud and excited for the finished result. The curlers had been in for about 45 min and I was getting some lunch ready when Lexi came up the stairs and said Mom look so pretty my hair. I looked up and couldn't believe it, she had pulled every single curler out of her hair. I almost started to cry I was so hurt but got over so quickly that I just started to laugh. We went to church with beautiful straight hair. I hope that one day she will like her hair done.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Yesterday we took Roderick to see Walking with Dinosaurs at the Energy Solutions Arena. What a cool experience. Roderick has been learning about Dinosaurs in Preschool so we thought it would be fun to take him to learn some more and see what they really looked like way back then. The narrator told the audience an amazing story and as he did the Dinosaurs would come walking out and fight it was unbelievable they looked so real. When each one came out Roderick knew there names and what they did. He really liked the long necks and couldn't wait until the T Rex came out. He was the last one to come out. We took some pictures but the lighting wasn't very good so hopefully you can see a little bit of what they looked like.

Sick of being sick....

For the last 6 days both Rodrigo and myself have been very sick with the flu. Today it seems that Lexi and Maya are coming down with the same thing. It is so hard being the mom and being sick as well. I usually don't get sick but this time I seemed to have caught whatever it is. I don't know how us moms seem to do it, when we are sick we still manage to take care of everyone and everything. Thanks to my mom for helping a couple of the days. I hate going to the Dr. because all they usually tell you is there is nothing we can do for you, so we just use our home remedies. Its not working very well but hopefully in the next couple of days we will be feeling better. Its seems to be a vicious circle in my family we just keep passing one thing to the next person.
