Daddy was invited as a member of a Mental Health committee from US to China. They were the 15 longest day for us! and the most expensive phone bill….

So, Pinky had the opportunity to settle down with mommy and dada to learn about the Chinese Mental health and culture. The day he was coming back home was a really surprise for the two of us, since he changed his flight and got home one day early! YUPI!!!

We went to the airport and when Pinky saw her true LOVE, she just could say: dada, oh, dada…oh dada!!!! Both starting to dance, jump, laugh, hug and kiss each other…a lovely moment to remember…therefore, here are the photos mommy took, of course!!!!

  

     Dada couldn’t wait and gave Pinky her first gift: A Chinese doll….for her is aka Princess….she was QUIET for a long period of time…I got to wonder what was going on on the back of the car while I was driving…an she was just amazed by her Princess doll….as you can see!!! 

 

However, the best part was the GIFTS!!!!…lol….(ok, daddy…the best part was having you back, but the gifts are GREAT!!!)

And, as you are able to see, daddy loves to buy things for his girls:

Back: paintings, books, programs and a DVD from a Chinese play (or was a musical?), a photo of dada feeding some birds (Hilarious, he is scare!!!), postcards (of course…mommy LOVE them!)

Right: Dresses for Pinky (she LOVES dresses), book about China, teas!

Left: Panda hat, cups with dada’s photo @ The Great Wall, Chinese hat, Purse for mommy, pink one (I’m crazy to use it, but when?), another chain purse (blue), The forbidden city book, some other souvenirs, a beautiful painting, our names written on Chinese, an apron, Terracotta soldiers (my FAVORITE!) !

Center: key chains from The Great Wall, a Big Buddha (but small!), massager, mirrors, Chinese dolls (for Pinky they are Princesses), more books (WE LOVE BOOKS!!!), a magnet (which is already on my fresh door), charms, bracelets.

3 princes and a princess 2

I am so excited! After 15 days away, my “media naranja” is coming back home….yahoo!!!! I didn’t tell anything to the little princess, yet. It is going to be a great surprise for her. Ok, dinner is ready, house is clean, and it is time for us to drive to the airport and pick him up…..but right now after all that cleaning (uff, yesterday I hosted a play-date and the playground-school-daughter’s bedroom was a HUGE mess…I didn’t take a picture, oh no….I don’t want to remember the messy space…yeah!!!! it was really bad….I just tell you that I have a ABC’s foam mat on the floor and ALL the letter, number and pieces were all over the place….ufff….bad????

So, I have to leave RIGHT NOW!!!….hope everybody have a nice night like ours!

Blessings!

We are in love with turkeys….and maybe because is a cute and easy craft to do with a toddler. So far, we have been doing some activities with them, like reviewing colors, shapes, counting, patterning, and just playing and enjoying them. Here are some of our treasures:

Our first craft: Paper plate Turkey…easy and fun! We used construction paper.

 

Paper roll turkey!

Pinky’s Friend came for a playdate and got into action, too!

  

Family picture turkeys! Saw this on a blog but can’t remember where (I’ll update ASAP!! this awesome blog: Ramblings of a crazy woman. There are also LOTS of other crafts and activities to do!

You can see how proud is she about her MASTERPIECE!!!

This activity was for finding three differences between both pictures; however, my toddler found that those pictures doesn’t have any problem and decided to do a color match with Fruit of the Loops cereal! At least, review her colors (English and Spanish)! Taken from Lawteedah blog!

All done! Turkey feathers color matching!

                   

Oh God! Toddlers are UNIQUE and PERSISTENTS! On the back I printed out the same activity but with a cornucopia and she did the same….I tried to tell her about the differences and she said: No mommy, it’s this way! Ok….HER WAY! lol

Whenever we go outside Pinky wants to get all the leaves around…and…put them INSIDE my purse!!! can you believe…..when I need to take something from my OWN purse…I just take lots of leaves pieces….lol

So why not to do something for her so she can save her leaves…

A turkey with leaves feathers!!!

Just glued some leaves over a cereal box, let them dry with a book over them…the next day paste a foam circle over, and them the same as in any other Turkey…lol

Turkey colors matching with clothespins!

        

Concentration! And look at those cute little hands!

As you can see, we are running out of clothespins to match! lol

   

Shapes!!! Very inexpensive! Just trace your cutie hand on construction paper and have fun coloring!

 

Finally, the cutie behind scenes!!! My little Pinky!!! (clap, now!)

Fall is getting to an end!

 

Have fun, as we’re having!!!

Blessings!

 

*I still have to find some of the places were I found some activities! Update as soon as I get them!
