Just Go to SLEEP!
Posted on March 31, 2008 - Filed Under Kids | 6 Comments
If anyone knows how to make a 2 year old sleep, I would love to hear it. Dorian has been awake until midnight the past three nights. In his room, but awake and talking and playing. Nothing will get him to settle down and go to sleep and he´s up again at 6 or 7 [...]
Sick Stuffies

Dorian has a major aversion to anyone touching his stomach, thanks to having a colostomy for just over a year. He was really sick last night and today he´s better, but still has the runs. Irving wanted to touch his tummy to see if it was hard, but Dorian didn´t want him to and freaked [...]
Very Late Easter Photos

Ok, I´ve had a lot of computer issues in the past few days, which meant that I was on another computer, which didn´t have Photoshop. But, I´m back now and can finally share some yummy Easter pics!
Dorian and I made some mini bunny cookies from our bento bunny rice mold and I dipped some in [...]
I Really Am a Lousy Housekeeper

Here´s the proof:
Today, Irving and Dorian went into Antigua and I got to work and cleaned the house, put all the clothes to be folded in one place, swept and mopped, etc.
Dorian walked in the door, looked around and said, “WHAT did you DO in here?!?”
Yup, I think I need to stay on [...]
Happy Easter!

Here in Guatemala, Easter and Holy Week are a big deal, but not because of bunnies and eggs . . . There are processions every day all over the country, telling the story of Jesus. It´s really a fascinating culture and if you EVER have a chance to visit during Semana Santa, I highly recommend [...]
Food Conversations

We got some sample packs of strawberry soy milk the other day with Dorian´s regular soy milk and so I tried making him a bottle (pacha) with it.
Dorian: “Mama, my pacha is blue.”
Me: “You mean pink?”
Dorian: “It´s pink.”
Me: “Don´t you like it?”
Dorian: “No. It´s really yucky. New one?”

Dorian loves mayonnaise, but not tomatoes, so I [...]
A Memory from A Time Gone By
Posted on March 18, 2008 - Filed Under Simple Life | 1 Comment
When I was little, my mom used to make us the coolest food. At least we thought so! She would make mini pancakes to dip in fruit syrup (homemade!) and we´d have our little lunch by candlelight. Or she would make alphabet soup, with the little letter pasta. I´d pretty much forgotten about that until [...]
A Budding Artist

Guess who this is?
I´ll give you a big hint, she writes this blog. Dorian found a pencil crayon this morning and asked for some paper and proceeded to draw a portrait of me. Now, I realize this isn´t terribly recognizable, but I´m still very proud since it´s his very first portrait EVER and he [...]
And Now the Monitor

You´d think I would have had my fair share of computer problems by now, wouldn´t you? But no. Apparently, now that my computer has been all but replaced, my monitor has decided to commit suicide. I guess it couldn´t take the pressure from the new compu. :S
As I type this, my screen is going from [...]
The Amazing Plastic . . . Thingamajig

It´s amazing what kids´ imaginations can come up with. Today Irving bought a pair of headphones so he can listen his music on his computer without bugging me while I try to work. They came in one of those funky bubble blisters . . . you know, the ones that rip your hands to shreds [...]
