Mijas

As I write this all three kids are playing in the closet...don't worry I am close by watching...sitting on Sierra's bed...with my lap top. I was just thinking... I have somehow gained a new set of eyes on the back of my head. I know exactly what they are getting into...without even facing them!!!! I am somehow having to use a part of my brain that has not had this much use before. It's a "Nanny Brain" on overload!!!!

I know this looks gross...it's just body soap in zip lock bags...a sensory thing

Mr. Michael

We made a Volcano....we all had lots of fun!!!

So Peter is the triplets little friend who is a couple months older than them. On Monday he was quit the character. At least three or 4 times he said..."Miss Sarah...your kids...(insert something)." His mom and I just laughed so hard.
Also as we were driving down the road with Peter with us...He turns to Sierra who was sitting next to him. He says while showing her his arms "Look at my muscles!!!!!" and pats her on the head gently. Sooo funny!!!!

Tonight when were pretty well finished supper. All three kids were running around. There is a door that connects between the dinning room/living room and the front entrance/kitchen...hard to explain. But anyway. Jonathan was on one side trying to get into the dining room...and Sierra and Michael were on the other side leaning with their backs against the door so he wouldn't come in. Then with great joy they start to smile/giggle and clap their hands...completely amused that they had locked Jonathan out. Meanwhile Jonathan is not completely enjoying it!! But then it turned into a game...and they all had a turn on each side of the door.

Nispero...there are lots of trees here with this fruit. It tastes really good.

Saturday I had a little adventure to Mijas (in English is sounds like Mehas). I had a couple other friends come along. We met up around 10:30 am...and we were on our way in the car. We did not get to far...when the car would not get into gear...and was starting to smell. Random fact: All vehicles in Spain are standard. SO we pulled over and called for help. Our wonderful friends came to the rescue... and when they convinced us that they had everything under control...they insisted that we still get on the train and got to Mijas. So we did...but we also brought them back something from the chocolate shop.
We had a really great time once we got there. It's absolutely beautiful. It's not really that far from here at all. A 19 min train ride plus a 10 min bus ride. I will be back!!!

Yes it's exactly what the sign says

The mountains in the background are Gibraltar & North Africa

We ate at a cute little restaurant call "The Secret Garden". Really good food. Also there really was a secret garden. We went through the door and seen a portion that looked like any other restaurant...kept walking and there was a room that was much like a garden and all the tables were full...so we followed the waiter through a little door and up some stairs to another fair size garden. It was really beautiful and quiet. Well except for the rooster that lives on the other side of the stone wall. That rooster brought back memories of being in Haiti!!
