Good Monday

Today was funny, mean, bumming and loving. Izarra was so excited to go to school today. She woke up on time and was ready to get ready for school. I was going to stay home with Anthony while Frank dropped Izarra off at school but I guess Anthony felt Izarra was going to leave. He woke up a couple minutes before Izarra had to leave. So we all went to drop her off at school. We came back and I made Anthony some Eggs for breakfast. He was super hungry because he was eating it up pretty quick.

While Izarra was at school Frank and I played with Anthony and listened/ watched Dexter. Anthony always loves having Izarra at home but he does love when she goes to school because he get all our attention! After the 3 hours it was time to pick Izarra up and her brother was super excited to see her. She had fun at school like always but was excited to come home. She told her dad last night to download some games for her on her iPod. When we were on our way home she asked him if the games finished downloading. They did, so she was excited to start playing the games.

She played it for about an hour then it was Anthonys nap time. She didn't take a nap but she did just rest a while. While Anthony was sleeping Izarra, Frank and I kept busy. He slept for a good 2 hours. When Anthony woke up we ate some lunch, Izarra didn't want to eat. We watched some cartoons and after decided to go play outside. We played with some balloons but they kept popping. The kids decided to pick a flower for me :]

After they ran around for a while and decided to open up a pomegranate. Izarra picked it out and told Anthony she would share with him. She got it and took it to her dad. She asked him if he could open it because she doesn't have big muscles, lol.

She shared the fruit with her brother and I. It was actually sweet, she picked out a really good one. Anyway, it took about an hour and a half for them to finish eating their halves. Once done they went back to running around and playing. Izarra then thought she would help teach Anthony how to ride his bike. Izarra doesn't want to learn how to ride her own bike. Anthony was enjoying his lesson though and Izarra loves teaching her brother new things. I asked Izarra if she wanted to ride her bike but she said, "No, it's too scary!" She's a big girl and can choose to not learn but I really want her to enjoy bike riding. I told her everything would be okay and she agreed to practicing. 

Frank AND Anthony decided to help Izarra practice on her bike. So I recorded the process and will post the video as soon as it is done uploading. They just started and Anthony was already being mean to his sister. 

It was mean but hilarious. My poor Izarra was actually scared. After I stopped recording I helped her ride around. She did calm down and she did ride her bike on her own. She did a very good job. She much prefers me helping her instead of her dad and brother. She rode around for a couple of minutes and was laughing and having fun. Since I was helping her I wasn't able to document it. Next time Frank will record so you can see I am not lying, she did have fun after the meanness of her brother. It was a good day with the kids. Yes, they do pick on each other but you just have to learn to deal with it. Kids will be kids, they do apologize when they know they did something wrong. 

It started getting dark so we brought them inside and Frank started dinner. I took the kids to get their stuff ready so they can bathe. They both love baths! 

After their bath it was dinner time. We ate dinner and the kids ate it all up. Chicken Alfredo is always a win! They played a little and then it was story-time and bedtime! They were both actually ready to get in their beds and sleep! I guess we tired them out. :]
