Our Monday

Today was Diego's first morning of Sports Camp and he LOVED it!!! He attended sports camp a few times last summer and loved it and I've been excited for the right week to come to send him again this summer. He will go from 9:00 to 12:00 every morning this week. I wasn't sure how we'd do with having to leave the house by 8:40 this morning, but suprisingly I was even able to make breakfast for Ricardo (and the kids, of course) AND have a shower before we left!
After we dropped him off, Alexia, Marco and I went to Barnes and Noble to play with the train table and look at books. I ended up buying her a little activity book for us to do together this week while Diego is out in the mornings. From there we headed over to Costco. Marco had fallen asleep right before we left at 8:40 and was still asleep when we parked at Costco at 10:20. I pulled him out of his car seat and nursed him in the van and then put him in the baby bjorn. We took awhile at Costco b/c I had so much to get and Alexia really wanted pizza so we stayed and shared a slice of pizza. By the time we left there, it was 11:30 so we rushed home to put away the perishables and then raced back to the gym to pick up Diego. Meanwhile, Marco was still sound asleep and he did not wake up until after we got home, the kids had lunch and I put Alexia down for her nap...around 1:45. He woke up to nurse and then went back to sleep again until around 4:00pm. WONDER BABY! He is awake now and is just hanging out as happy as can be in his bouncy seat.


When we dropped Diego off, all the kids were playing with these fun baloons.


When we arrived to pick him up, it was storytime.


Diego did a neat dinosaur craft at sports camp and when Alexia saw it she asked if she could do one like it. I traced the dinosaur and pulled out the paints so they could do a craft in the afternoon. Diego decided that the one he did at home would be for Marco...so sweet!

She sure loves painting!

Diego only wanted "boy colors"

Sweet, sleepin' babe. Yes, he is a belly-sleeper!

Tio Aldo came over for dinner last week and Diego was really excited to play soccer with him. Whenever Aldo was not running after the ball with Diego, Alexia would ask to hold his hand and walk with him...precious!

They are BIG time into puzzles right now. They split this puzzle up and each worked on a part and then put it together at the end. I loved that teamwork and how excited they were to see each other's progress.
