What do boys do with Sidewalk chalk?

Andy had his little friend Oscar over to play, & they were getting bored so I thought- Sidewalk Chalk- that should do the trick. Well little did I know how much fun they would have & how messy they would get. I walked outside 5 min. later & this is what I found...

They took the chalk & wrote all over the sidewalk, then poured water on it...

 

& put it all over themselves....

 

Then they took their cute little hands & made marks all along the outside wall...

 

I couldn't help but laugh... They were having a ball, even Sean got into it & I figured- it's only chalk, easy to wash off- no problem! Let them be kids!

 

 

How could I be mad... look at those faces! Now if it was real paint... it would be a different story! That's for sure!

Happy 27th!

Last Monday, August 17th we celebrated my 27th B-day!!! Mom had a big BBQ for me with lots of friends & family. The food was to die for- Big juicy steaks, pork shish-ka-bobs, chicken, salad, rice, black beans, platanitos, cake, cheese cake, & more. It was really a great get-together! Everybody kept saying the food was so yummy- Ximena a good friend form Venezuela who is a professional cook, made most of the food & it really was to die for!

Sean & I enjoying our yummy meal-

 

Comida- que rico!

 

Cumpleaños Feliz....

A quick pic. of our family, minus our favorite almost 2 year old. (My belly is getting so big... @ 8+ months, yikes- this baby better come quick!)

 

I love parties! I'm so grateful for 1 more year of life & hope for many many more- that I can spend with those I love!
