A whole lot of stuff!

Well…the past week or two has been a whirlwind…

Trevor got the measles…not a fun time for anyone in the house!  Here’s the hospital we hit up 5 days in a row!

I just have to say that last year on December 24th, we found out we were going to be blessed with TWINS!  This year on December 24th, look what my Trevor is doing:

Sitting up on his OWN!

Last weekend, Dada finally got 3 hours off to spend with us and he took us to feed the elephant…

and check out the monkey’s.  Yes, there are monkey’s everywhere.  This on tried to run up and take Zach’s little stuffed kitty cat…another one stole someone’s milk and was drinking it…like a little person!

In the middle right corner is the monkey drinking the carton of milk near the playground!

We are still quite popular…everywhere we go, people want to touch and hold the boys!  They love to compare their skin color, eye color, touch and smile.  At this park, Dada & Z played; Mama & B had about 20 different people come over and look at us and smile.  The only english word spoken was “hot”…someone was telling me to sit in the shade!

Then he took us to the “mall” for some Swensen’s and a little Santa Claus…and $1.50 movies…got the new Shrek 4, How to Train your Dragon, Alpha & Omega…all for a $1.50 each.  Nice!  Also am waiting for the Real Housewives of NJ…Beverly Hills…also, $1.50 for the entire season!  Looking forward to that!

Found a new cafe to hang out at.  Le Jardin.  All outdoors, fans built into the umbrellas…lights strung up around the garden…an oasis I wish were in my backyard.  I think we’ll head there tonight for buy one get one free mojitos…yep, they sell coffee & drinks…MY kind of place!

(well…I have a picture of Trev doing the same thing, but it won’t let me load it…so here is Brando)

Birthday Boy Celebration!

…this is his face when he realized he wasn’t going to get to eat any of THAT cake…poor guy…Mama couldn’t bake a cake in the toaster oven and couldn’t find a vegan cake in town…

We’ve hired 5 people to help out!  I now have 3 nannies, 1 housekeeper and a driver!  …and I still don’t have time to keep up with family, friends and the blog…the yard is complete, but I keep forgetting to take pictures, so I’ll get that next time.  Also found out the house is termite infested…the bugs flying around the other day…yep, gross nasty termites with wings…the “termite royalty”…like the queen ant can fly, well so can the queen termite…SO SO SO NASTY!  Finally got the landlord here to get someone to fix it…who knows if she will…she’s lucky we are not in the states…I would be out of here AND get my deposit back…here, not the case.  Bug free house is not a clause in the rental agreement!  BLUCK.

Oh…and here’s my first heart attack.  Our water bill…was revived when I realized it was in riel and was only $2.50~
