Learning the Rules
Posted on August 31, 2010 - Filed Under Fun | 6 Comments
We just recently decided to teach the boys how to play board games. I found one called Subidas and Resbalones, which roughly translates to Ups and Downs, which seemed to be like Chutes and Ladders or Snakes and Ladders.
It’s not.
It’s a complicated version of that childhood game . . . involving a treasure chest of [...]
An Impromptu Trip to the Zoo
Posted on August 24, 2010 - Filed Under Fun, Guatemala, Kids, Travel | 7 Comments
This past Sunday we had quite the adventure. First we headed to Chimaltenango looking for something pretty specific. It wasn’t available in the MaxiBodega so we decided to go to the capital and try our luck at HiperPais. No go. Feeling a bit annoyed that we’d just traveled for entirely too long in two completely [...]

On Friday, we met up with a blog reader in the park. She’d brought us a suitcase for our trip and some dehumidifying crystals to help keep mold at bay. Dorian and I had already met her before when she brought down some books, but this time she got to meet Dante, too.
You were right, [...]

I just found this meme over on Now Don’t Get Me Started and thought it would be fun since I haven’t done one in a while.
A- My AIR CONDITIONER is: A fan set on high.
B- My BEDROOM theme is: supposed to be Indonesian, but it’s more like whatever-happened-to-be-on-sale.
C- The CAR in the driveway is: [...]

. . . when you have the box it came in?
Not to mention styrofoam that just happens to be in the shape of machine guns!
And Now for Something Completely Different

I was looking for a counter to put on a Squidoo lens (which I never did find, btw) when I came across a website that has a lot of avatars. Some of them were just too funny not to share. So here you go. Feel free to skip this post if you aren’t into this [...]

Quick and Easy Bean Bag Game for Rainy Days

It’s been raining a lot lately. A LOT. Which means two little boys have been going a bit berserk in our teensy house. After about three days of almost solid rain, we were all in dire need of something to do that would burn off some energy. Sooooo . . . .
Enter a laundry tub [...]
Big Imaginations
Posted on July 22, 2010 - Filed Under Fun, Kids | 2 Comments
I swear my kids live in their own world about 75% of the time. They race around the house, sparring with popsicle stick swords, yelling about dragons and Jaberwockies (Alice in Wonderland is their new favorite movie) and just generally living full on adventures in our living room.
They start this from the very early [...]
