Circus Time

Today was a nice day, we went to the circus :) it was my daughter's first visit to the circus, and I was so happy to see her face with the whole show.

My daughter got up really early today, and she wanted to go to the movies, and because she has been doing well in school and she has been behaving, we decided to go, but when we got to the movie theater  there were no kid's movies, so we went for lunch to Mc, while we were walking my daughter changed her mind and decided that she wanted to go to the circus, so we said ok, but we had to go back home to leave some stuff, and ever since we got there, she was just saying how much she wanted to go to the circus and that we should hurry or we would be late :) so we left early and got there on time, there were a lot of people, this was the last day the circus was going to be in town, so the ticket was cheap, it was Q.10.00. My daughter was so happy and she was entertained the whole time, every time the acts began she would open her eyes and pay a lot of attention to what the people where doing in the show, after the show I asked her what her favorite act had been, and she told me that she liked the tigers :) so it was a great day, cause I saw my daughter have fun.

But that is it for today, I wish you all a great week. Till next time.

WOW it's Friday!!!! Where did Thursday go????

Amazing, time flies, I don't know why, but I have the feeling that I skipped Thursday. It's like I am conscious about the things I did on Wednesday, but Thursday is.... distant, but oh well, I still have two more days off, and then on Monday, it's back to school :)

Today was nice, we went to my in-law's for lunch and had fish, it had been a long time :), and we had a couple of drinks :) Vodka, it was fun, then we came back and did some house cleaning, and I also went outside to take some photos of things :)

 This is a Mayan altar that is in my back yard, it has been a part of my wife's family and now that we moved, it is part of our family too, I don't believe in those things, in fact I am not a spiritual person you might say, but it is part of history and culture so I respect the believes. In my town there are some Mayan altas, 5 I think, 2 arms, 2 legs and a head and the one on the back yard is a leg, people say that it brings luck, and there are a lot of people that still practice the Mayan beliefs, I wish I could explain more, but as I said I am not an expert. On May 1st a lot of people ask for permission to come and do the ceremony here, we always agree :) and most of the time they give us something to drink or to eat as a thank you token.

 This is a peach flower, I like the color and the fruit too :), they still haven't grown, but I hope this year we get some big peaches.

And here we have a snail, hate those things, the weather has been humid so we see a lot of these on the back yard, it's awful to walk and step on them cause the sound you hear is not pleasant. If you ever step on one, don't look, just clean your shoe and keep walking :) trust me you wouldn't like to see it :D

Well gotta go, I have to start reading :)

Holy week

Well this was my first day off :) I didn't do much, I was suppose to go hiking with some friends, but I got a bit sick, so I had to stay home. In the afternoon we went shopping with my wife and daughter, it's not my cup of tea to go shopping but it was nice to see my daughter have fun :)

Went for an ice cream and talked a bit. I wanted to buy some chocolate eggs to hide, so my daughter has some fun searching for them :) but I think I will do that tomorrow.

It's nice to get up late, watch t.v. and play video games :) but I have to start doing other things to keep myself busy :)

 

I am trying to do a bonsai with "Misperos", it's a fruit I like. It was actually funny, because I was eating a mispero once and the trash can was too far away for me to get up and throw the seeds there, so I stood up and left the seeds in a flower pot my wife has in the living room :) I was being very lazy :P but the interesting thing was that the seeds started to sprout, I was really happy, because the weather here is not the appropriate one to have these trees, they might grow, but it is extremely difficult, but well see, try to keep your fingers crossed, maybe in some time I will show you the tree :) I hope :) 

With my daughter we decided to do a couple of handcrafts.... well not a couple but one :) we did this with a plastic bottle, yarn and a zipper, we started doing it on Saturday but unfortunately there was no electricity. Stupid truck driver didn't see the electric wires on the road and cut them off, we called the light company in the morning but they didn't show until very late at night, so we had electricity at 11 pm, terrible day, and the worse part was that I used up my laptop's battery, and my Nintendo 3ds' and I had finished the book I was reading, plus there wasn't enough light to read :)  so I didn't have much to do :( .... but I think I went another way here... so were was I, Oh yeah, we finished the bottle today, my wife was out so I decided we would finished the bottle with my daughter, she liked it and she filled it with some candy I bought her :)

Well that is it for today, I will write some other day :) have a great Holy week everyone :)
