Fantastic Four

All grown up (@4)

4 years, 5 months & change - to be exact.  Where does the time go?  Why does it go so fast?  Will it ever slow down?  There are certain moments throughout my day that I think WOW!  Not much longer will this last.  

For instance, walking out the door this morning on the way to school and she wants me to pick her up and carry her to the car.  Can do - and while placing her in the car seat I think to myself, "How much longer will I have?"  To pick her up and carry her that is.  Will she want me to do this at ages 5, 6 and 7?  I certainly hope so.  And would it be uncool to want to pick her up at age 10?  Most likely.  I remember the day she started to walk being excited is an understatement.  She is for sure a walking perfection by now.  And all I want to do is pick her up and carry her.  Here's to hoping she continues to allow me to do it.

 

This is how I roll

Just another day bicycling through the neighborhood.  Princess style.

Shiny things

I love shiny wheels.  Perhaps the mexi in me?  I dunno.  That's what we say around here.  "Us mexi's like shiny things."  And I am happy to announce Gia has jumped aboard the Shiny Train!

Rumor has it she wouldn't ride until her wheels were shined.  Nor would I. Hee, hee.

Ride on

Keep on keeping on.  That's Coco.  It took her all of five (yes 5) minutes to learn how to ride a bike.  I love the look of determination when she is trying to get going.  Or when she stops suddenly and can't quite get the peddle to go forward.  She is brilliant and watching her bicycle around the playground is now one of my most favorite things to do.

Checkin out the wheels and stuff.

 

Cruising

Learning to spell

Gia loves to read and write.  It's all about sounding it out.  Here she is spelling River...

Bad words

Tonight while combing locks of hair I got the "bad word" quiz.

Coco:  "Mama, is stinky butt a bad word?"

Gia:  "Mama, what about shut up?"

Mama: "Those are unkind words."

Gia:  "How about stupid?"

Love the curiosity.

SimBA

Sergio surprised us girls with date night.  We were told be ready to leave by 4:00 and dress up.  Us Mora girls love to get all glitterati.  Dinner was yummy but the Lion King was better.  My favorite part was having Coco in my lap whispering very loudly, "Mama where's Simba?"

A Royal Halloween

Halloween is fun and big in our home.  We love to decorate, bake & spend the month of October dressing up in costumes.  This year we let the girls pick out what us Parental figures would be.  Imagine our surprise when Sergio learned he would be a lobster and I a jellyfish.  Amused we were.  Wheels spinning in both of our heads on how to put together such a costume.  Luckily down to the wire with 48 hours left until ringing doorbells and getting oodles of candy, the girls decided they needed a Prince Charming & Queen to compliment their Princess style. Whew!  No having to make a costume!  Soon we were off to the "Royal Ball"  to eat (dinner & candy), dance & be merry.  It was a fun filled Royal Hallow's Eve.

Scrap in an hour

So behind.  So much so that I'm opting for the easiest no frills pages I can pound out.  My latest two.

Penny Pills

Been fighting a sinus infection.  I was surprised at the size of my antibiotics.  They're horse pills, the size of a penny.
