Packing and much more

Like is to be expected we being a bit swamp around boxes. Some of us actually fill them up while others just play with them.

Packing is not easy, I guess that is needless to say since we all move in our life time, and the longer you live in a place the more JUNK we accumulate.


With children even though there are major events in your life you still have keep your routine, so we found time to go to the park the other night, is so hot here in Louisiana we are pretty much indoors the whole day and then we hit the street after 6 o'clock even later on, this has change a little bit my sleeping routine of 7. Nenas you been staying up to 9 o'clock enjoy it for now.






I have also started to sit down with Gamila and draw, paint and play with stickers. Milo you are pretty good at everything but love to put the stickers in your face.


Samia you are turning into this delicate, funny, dramatic little girl you love to dance like a ballerina, you love it when we played I am the witch and you are the princess, you love to dance, jump and move your hips from one side to the other. Samiuta here you are playing and posing for mami.


Inshallah we move on Tuesday after closing on Monday. Samia you also start your soccer on Monday night, I can not wait to see you running behind the ball. Samia you are also very social you love going to the play ground walking up to the other kids no matter how old they are, your introduction goes something along these lines.

Samia - Hi, what is your name.

Then you wait a little while you answer back even if they respond something like this.

Samia - I am Samia you want to play

I love this about you.

Oh and I don't think our streak of inconveniences has stop, our air conditioner broke for the second time in a day.

Dr. in the house ~ Driving endless road ~

Today we drove and drove I fed and fed and I had an endless (pointless) erratic dialogs with Samia.

Yes imagine being in the car with las nenas for 2 hours drive then stop 20 minutes and 2 hours drive again. I pack like 4 different containers with snacks these were some of the items in their menu: dry mango, dry cranberries, raisins, hot dog, cheese, grapes, platanitos, bread and cookies oh and juice...and the saddest part is they were still not satisfy. It figure the more you give them the more choices they have making them more picky.


I am those kind of moms that feels guilty letting them watch the car DVD for hours, I think I am robbing their brain from developing (I know I am weird sometimes) and I can not help myself I remember being in a car for 10 hours when I was a child and not having DVD and nothing happen. So to compensate for the DVD I become their entertainer oh I should rephrase it they entertain me...and it goes something like this:


Mami what color is that car?
Gris
Mami how you say raining in Spanish?
LLuvia
Mami how you say stop raining in arabic?
Mami jalas cheta (I know the pronuciation is not the best and jalas is not the correct word to rhyme with rain but I know an arab would understand her)
Mami why we driving?
Por que fuimos a ver la casa
Mami can you buy me a house?
Si ya la compramos
Mami I have play date in my house?
Si Inshallah
Samia says Gamila say YEAH
Gamila - screams out of the top of her lungs YYYYEEAAAHHH (this kid does not know how to talk she screams)
Mami where is baba
In Target.
Mami lets go shopping
Okey Samia
Mami let's go Walmart (I know it should be Target)
Mami where you buy my mono


And it went on for about 1 hour till she finally felt asleep, then it was time to entertain Gamila hard to do since she loves to play with Samia, then it was me trying to keep her from waking up Samia so I gave up and DVD came up. Thank God Milo felt asleep a few minutes later this way I still felt like a Champion a 4 hour drive without DVD it can be done!!! YEppy.

Another huge milestone Samia you are in a booster chair now and I love is much easier and you have more mobility in the car which makes you a happier passenger.

Another thing that made me happy is the fact that even though they had to spend a whole day in a car today they were able to play nonstop yesterday for a couple of hours with some of their friends. Yesterday we had Carson (the doctor), Addison (the patient/princess Aurora), Carly (the Veterinarian), Gamila (the princess) and Samia you did a little bit of everything. We had a nice time having some Arabic food and some nice fruits and brownies the other mami's brought it was just a great time.


Samia also as of today you are officially a soccer player in Houma, LA I can not wait to see you running for the ball and having baba like a coach most likely. Wow I can not believe my pollito y pollita would be soon the soccer stars in Bayou country (okey mami you went a little bit over board, wishful thinking never hurts)


Today we did the first inspection in the house that would be another post my perfectionist husband drove the Realtor insane...can not imagine when we go for the final inspection with the builder, that would definitely would be a very long post.


Last night I finish sewing a dress for Milo I feel bad Samia always gets most of my sewing...I see it these way Gamila is growing fast --- what I make for Samia would end up being for Milo...I know I should not be thinking that way and actually my mind is changing now Gamila enjoys posing for me with her new dresses.
