This Weeks Update

This week, I feel bad becuase I did not post anything. It felt like it was a busy and hectic week, we had some ups and downs. I don't think that I even started a new "Tackle It" project. I have been trying to just keep up with all of the washing, drying, folding and putting away all of the clothes! In a family of 5 and me being the only girl, we sure can dirty A LOT of clothes! I feel like I am drowning in clothes. I have to figure out a way that I can get this under control. Maybe that will be my next tackle it project :).

On Tuesday, Elkin had his make-up soccer game at 5:15 p.m. He played AWESOME!

It is a great pleasure to see that Erico and Elkin really enjoy playing soccer. And especially when we all get togeter in the backyard and kick the ball around.

During the week, we concentrated on Erico's reading and math. He has been doing well, but we need to get him to be a little stronger so he can move up. One thing that we have been a little stressed about is the Public School system. But that is for another blog.!.!.!.!

On Thursday, elkin an dI made homemade Fudge and then in the evening Erico, Elkin and I made homemade chocolate cookies. I was in the mood for baking and the boys love to help me.

Friday evening, Gil and I had our date night, thanks to Erico's team soccer parents. All of the kids from the team got together for a pizza party at Sarah's house (one of the girls on the team). Gil and I enjoyed a 2 hour relaxing dinner, which is what we needed. And the kids had a great time playing with each other.

Today is Saturday and it is 48 degrees out, and we have to get ready for Elkin's 10:00 am game, then I am going to take Erico and Elkin to Universal Studios and Gil and Esai are going to wait for the materials and the crew to start our fence in the backyard project.

We have a day full of activities in store for us today, so hopefully they can be as stress free as possible.

And for Esai, we have been trying to work on comunication. Yes, I know he can not talk yet, but I am trying to get him to not whine and cry when he needs or wants something.

I will post more later!!!
