Party Mode - Nest - Christmas

We are in party mode in this house, I really enjoy preparing my nenes birthday...I am a fan of doing allot of the stuff is like an adrenaline rush for me and now the girls are so much into it as well.  I have most of the stuff for the party already I either made it or print it.  And now with my two little helpers things are much easier.

 While las nenas prepare things, el nene decides to venture under the table either to pick the garbage we drop or to pull the mantel...yes Amir you are crawling all over the place and exploring everything you get your hands on.  I guess is a different stage for mami now I have to start getting use to it.

Amir I also want you to know there are days you look just like mami and some other days you are the vivid image of baba.

Oh nenes it looks like the new pairs of doves are trying to mate so mami and Samia decided to make our own nest to see if they decided to mate..I would love that it would be a great learning experience for all of us.  I read that doves don't like enclose nest so we made one with a box of oatmeal some paper and Samia you even draw a few hearts in the nest I though that was so cute.

Mami also started working in an Advent Calendar for Christmas is a combination of different things I have seeing, I just love the fact that we would not have to put a little something in each pocket but more like ornaments to put in the tree.  Hopefully I finish in time...

Pictures then Sciatica

Sunday was a fun day that ended with lost of pain. I was grabbing Milo's hand when I moved the wrong way and my sciatica flare up, the last time I had pain similar to this was in 1997 in New York.


Needless to say I can not move and laying down is horrible. The only thing that helps is walking slowly being straight or sitting in the dinning chair. I was going to let it ride since is usually what you are suppose to do but even my legs are bothering me so I should go and see the Dr. tomorrow. I hate being like this not being able to bend down and do things around the house specially since there are so many things to do. Thank God Guido and Zetu are here if not I will be in trouble.

Before my little mishap I had fun taking pictures of the girls and fixing my fanooz with all of my mud people. I love my collection last time I counted I had about 300 mud people these are made in Spain in the 1980's however they have kept on making them, but if you look very carefully you could tell the difference between the 80's and the ones recently made. I always think which one of my nenas would like to keep them. Maybe I just split them in half when that day comes.

Also we finally found out our three doves are all males, I am currently looking for females doves but they are not that easy to come by I have call several places and nobody has, they have actually told me if I breed them they could buy some from me. So hopefully I can get my hands in some female doves however I will want them white or tangerine. We also had to separate one of them since he is beating up one of the other ones badly. Samia you keep on asking why??? they are not together.

Samia I also have to tell you that you are not only an assistance when it comes to building things but you are a photography assistance you tell me what to take pictures of and enjoy looking at them in the computer.

We also put a bird feeder and is great seeing so many birds come and eat usually the big ones are in the top and the little ones stay in the ground to pick up whatever is drop from the top.

Here are some of the pictures from yesterday taken of my favorite people, my nenas the light of my eyes, my habibi the most caring person in the world.
