No Pequeno.....mucho mucho!!!!


No pequeno...mucho mucho!!!! This is what I heard at lunch when I attempted to give Danni a smaller bowl of ice-cream than Emma had!! For all of you non Spanish speakers I think you can guess what his issue was!! (And YES ice-cream once again!! Emma thinks she is on spring break still. The ice-cream will end this weekend. They will all be mad at me - oh well!) I bought some small plastic bowls for Danni to use becuase he broke one already (sorry Clemencia!!). He ate his lunch in the small bowl no problem but when the ice-cream came out and Emma and Hayden both had bigger bowls he was not having any of that!! His facial expression and tone was just hillarious! He was not happy!! Anyway, it has been yet another rainy day and cooler. We were lucky to have such sunny days last week when we visited the orphanage. We spent 4 days outside getting to know Danni so it would of been a mess if it rained that whole time. Also, we have had a very busy house today. Javier and the two electricians have been in and out all day in addition to the cleaning lady being here all morning. Emma and Danni have watched quite a bit of TV today - bad mommy - but Hayden's schedule was booked today so I had to juggle the kids and all the commotion in the house. We had planned to go spend the day at the mall but that never happened. Oh well, there will be many more days to walk the mall or should I say ride the escalators!! :) The electricians finally left around 4 PM -- we have HOT water!! Danni showered and then Emma did and ALL the lights shut off!! They were off only for 3 minutes and then they came on. It was the entire house so we think it must of been an outage. I quickly showered myself to ensure I got a hot shower with lights!! :) It is 8 PM now and no problems so I think our electrical issues have been taken care of. Tomorrow Emma is going to Skype her class. She is very excited. We plan to spend the day Saturday exploring more of Ecuador. We should have some awesome photos to share. Take care all. Thanks for all the nice emails on how much you like the blog. I am glad you are reading it!! It is a fun way to remember our time here. It is so very special! Sorry - only one picture today. Danni did sleep better last night but he seems to need a little siesta every afternoon. They are extra cute when they are sleeping. :) Adios! Mari
