Suspicious activity in the dining room...
Here's a clue!
ICE CREAM SUNDAE PARTYYYYY!
Wooo! So, during the week of Mother's Day, literally all of Cochabamba is celebrating and preparing to honor mothers. As you can imagine, this can affect our kids - especially during the school day as they are supposed to be drawing pictures of Mom, making presents for Mom, etc, etc. Around Mother's Day and Father's Day, I notice that we have lots of interesting conversations about parents/families/etc. Friday was the grand finale, and so in honor of the end of Mother's Day, we wanted to celebrate with our kids with something that would take their minds completely off of everything else from the week before. And the best way to do that is obviously with ice cream and lots of gummi bears.
Before the unveiling of the Table of Dreams...
...and after. Haaaa
Topping selection - harder than it looks.
That's my girl...nothin but the gummis.
Bottoms up, bottoms up
Round 2, still going strong.
the joy of sugar.
It didn't take long for the dance party to begin...
He's got some killer moves.
But oh my WORDDDD this boy wins the dance-off. Here's his routine: he stands at the head of the table completely still, "I'M A SOLDIER."
He waits.
He waits.
THEN.When evvvveryone else is quiet and watching...
The soldier lets loose.
Hahaaaaa - he did it only about 40 times, each of which the other dozen kids, (and tias,) just about peed ourselves.
The soldier taking time to refuel/paint his face with chocolate sauce.
Fun fact: House 2 gang's FAVORITE song??
Justin Beiber's "Baby, Baby."
Beiber Fever. They've got it.

Conga-ing their way to bed.

ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to give them some extra lovin that week.
How do you guys handle talking to them about family stuff, answering questions when they're sad about not having one, etc?
Miss you!
Mr. Personality is in Casa II now? Is little sister there too then?
ReplyDeleteGiving them bucket loads of sugar just before bedtime sounds like a really fun plan!!! I'm glad you all enjoyed yourselves!
