End of a School Year!

         Yesterday was the round up party for homeschooling for these little ones. I found it funny that Peter (their little friend that home schools with them)...kept on saying..."When are we having the party?"...while we were having the party!!!! I'm sure it was not the activities!! They could not have been boring...a water balloon toss, a bubble machine, some of their favourites songs, twister, and another ball game they love...and a few other things!!! So we finally got it out of him that what he meant was that he was wondering when all the people were coming for the party. Well there were already 9 people there including him...and that's just the 2 moms, 4 homeschoolers, 1 1year old, and 1 dad, and myself. I guess that was not many in his mind!! Great Kid :)
*So the binder that I have in my hand in a couple of following pictures is a binder for each of them with the art that they did over the last few months.

Peter & I

 



Twister

Sierra & I

Bubbles

Michael & I

 

Jonathan & I

 

A picture of us all in a frame that has OUR TEACHER written along the edge of the frame. I did not have to open the gift...they did it for me. All four ripped it open in seconds!!

They also gave me a sweet card and money for Starbucks!! I will have to make a trip to the airport in the near future (that's were the only Starbucks down here is) :)

 When we arrived Peter ran up to me and gave me an apple. An apple for a teacher!!! My first one! So sweet.

It was a good few months of homeschooling and they learnt so much. I'm very proud of them!
But at the same time as the teacher I am glad to be done for the summer!! In September the triplets will be going to an all Spanish school 5 days a week until 2pm everyday. So that will be a big change for everyone.

They are all pretending to be lions...Rarrr! (That's what they are all doing in this picture)

 

 

Last week the kids each got a little pet fish. When asked that day what her fish's name was, Sierra informed me that Kitty was the name! That's such an awesome name for a fish!!!! :) From then on the name has changed each day.

All the kids are going through a phase...when asked what the name of something is...it is their own name. For instance each of the boys fish's names are Jonathan & Michael.

This fish never made it till the next day!! So they had to run and get another one.

 

 

The other day while driving Jonathan told us he went fishing the other day...he told it like we all went with him!!. He caught such a big fish that it broke his net...then he pulled out an even bigger net from his pocket...and he got that fish!!

 

Guess what I found!!! In the International section of the store

 

Preparing for Canada Day!

 

So lucky that I have a Canadian friend here to celebrate Canada Day with. I totally would have celebrate by myself...but it's more fun with a friend.

So we made some maple leaf cookies with maple syrup icing. So yummy. We only ate a couple...we have lots to share on July 1st.

 





Ronda, Spain

 

So last Saturday I had to privilege to go on a little road trip with three other lovely ladies I know. We drove to Ronda which is only a couple of hours from here. Such a beautiful country!!!

Fields of Olive Trees

 

 

 

Legs of meat...a common site to see here...the smell makes me sick to my stomach!!

Spanish Tortilla (Egg & Potato)

Vegetable Paella...the yellow seasoning in it stained our teeth. Haha

 

Morocco (hills furthest away) & Gibraltar (the hill that looks like its in the middle of the water) 

 

So that was just a glimpse of Ronda Spain and the trip to and from there. It was a fun day trip and had a great adventure with some friends.
