Christian actually got up with the girls this morning (why do I feel like he’s fishing for something?!?), started breakfast and got everything going. They played out on the swing set for a while and I did my usual weekend cleaning...dishes, cleaned the counters, swept the floors, cleaned the entry way and picked up around the living room. We ate some breakfast and started the day.
Christian started doing some work in the garage and in the yard. The girls and I eventually got dressed and joined him for a while. The weather was amazing, so it was nice to take advantage of it. We pulled out all of the plants for the year, and packed away the lawn decorations. We already have big plans for next year…we need to do some work on the grass (the weeds are getting out of control – thanks to our neighbors next to and behind us that do NOTHING with their yards, and destroy ours), and we’ll be doing a lot of planting – flowers, fruits and veggies. We’re going to start our planning over the winter so we can get started on it right away in the spring…when it’s actually supposed to be done. I’m motivated!!!
The girls ate some lunch, then went down for naps. Christian ran to a Mexican market to get some lunch for us (YUM, REAL food!), then he and his dad got to work on the car…again. After replacing the caliper again last time, the brake pads are still burning. So, today they bled the brake lines to see if that would help. Fingers crossed!
When he finished, the girls were just getting up. We had some dinner, got ready and were on our way. Our new friends, Sara and Mariano (Bella’s parents), invited us over to watch the Boxing match tonight. The girls had a blast running around and playing all night. Christian and Mariano talked and chatted like they’d known each other for years. Mariano is also from Mexico City, so they already have a ton to connect on right there. They seem to have similar personalities too, and get along really well. Sara and I are very different, but actually have a similar sense of humor and interests. We laughed a lot and got to know each other. I’m excited to have some new friends, that live close, that we have a lot in common with. YAY!
We didn’t get home until SUPER late. Christian fell asleep pretty much right away. I watched a little TV to relax, then called it a night. Not sure how the girls are going to feel tomorrow!
Here are some pictures from today. A few of our play time outside, and one of the girls playing tonight.
