FLOWER POWER!!!

Felipe painted the girls room a very fun"citris" color and they even got to help with the painting:) Felipe hung their lamps last night, they were very excited! I just love green and pink together, it is definitely one of my favorite color combinations for girls!

Karolina's First Soccer Game!

Karolina had her first game this past Saturday. They have 8 children total on each team and they play four on four, so they are able to play alot during each game. They play 25 min. halves. I especially love the first picture I posted---it pretty much sums up Karolina's reaction to soccer so far. She loves to run, she loves her uniform, pink cleats and her ball, she loves to practice upstairs in her bedroom, she loves to compliment the "heros"/boys on her team, she loves to tell people she is a Red Scorpion, but when the ball comes near her she'd rather let someone else's foot touch it! Amalia was a great little cheerleader for her sister as well ! It was fun for me to watch those cute little people running all over the field. I was amazed at the skill level of most of these 6 year olds:) I am excited to see how soccer unfolds for Karolina over the next 7 weeks!

Our Labor Day Zoo Adventure!

We decided it would be fun to go to the zoo this Monday. We have a family pass and the girls love it there. What were we thinking?!!! We pulled up at 10 am to people parking on the street already:) The lines were too long for Antione ( the white alligator) and all the shows. So we looked around at our favorite animals, rode the zoo train and promised the girls we would come and visit Antione later on this month ( the beauty of a year long family memebership!)

Karolina --- Our Soccer Girl!

Karolina started soccer last week for the first time. She is so excited about it. She is the only girl on her team. There is one little boy on her team that is a pretty skilled player, she told me that he is a "hero" because he plays so great! Felipe and I were unsure after her first practice how she felt about soccer. She seemed a little overwhlemed by it all. But she came running up to us afterward very excited about being a "Red Scorpion"! She is especially excited about her uniform and her pink cleats:) This last week she is already less overwhelmed and much improved:) It is so fun to watch her practice--- she is so careful to follow the coach's instructions on how to do the drills. She does it step by step to make sure it is just right:)Her first game is this Saturday! ( sidenote: I will bring my SLR for better quality long distance photo ops! )

Our Master Bedroom's New Look!

For our anniversary Felipe bought me a bedroom set and painted our bedroom wall "smokey slate" this weekend! I love the color and our new set:)
