Last Friday we went to the Botanical Garden with my friend D who also homeschool her daughter.We had such a great time ,First we went to the family garden,the family garden offer so many activities after 1:30 pm ,you guys should really check them out. first activity was the worm station, Eva love this! i mean she really really love this that's all she did the whole time we were there..LOL . second activity was harvest station, the girls planted lettuces and learn to identify weeds. They even got to take home carrots,beans and cucumbers. They also learn about Native American, Lenape.The girls made a husk doll and saw a wigwam .

After that we went to the children garden and the learning center ,and guess what ,they did more educational activities. they did a mini book about their favorite fruits ,and each of them got a strawberry plant to take home.

Oh did I mentioned that the weather was wonderful!!

Happy Moments

I am soooo Happy! On July,I applied for a scholarship for Tania to continue her gymnastic training . Last week I received a letter from Chelsea Pier, congratulating me about the scholarship that they approved for Tania . I couldn't believe it, I was jumping up &down , I was filled with joy. I Thanks God for this opportunity ,without the scholarship Tania wouldn't be able to continue her journey.It is hard to tell a kid that they no longer will continue what they love because of Money.

This morning , I pulled kenia tooth out , it was wiggling for over a month. Kenia was really brave about the pulling,but afterward she told me she never want another loose tooth.....LOL

K posing for daddy.

Carmen is really proud about her little buddy. Since she proof to Daddy and mommy that she could take care of this little fellow. We have decided to buy her a plant.

summer

Our summer is going great, the girls are enjoying every second of the day. On Mondays,Wed and Frid they have swimming and Tennis , on Tues & Thurs they have track &field and soccer all this programs are provided free in the summer through the city parks foundation . We are not doing much academics ,I figure once this programs are over we could hit the books hard. I'm also babysitting my 10 year old brother for the summer so our days are busy and hectic. Tomorrow I will mail the paperwork to the central office of homeschooling, This year I have to file for Kenia since she's already six. Overall we are having a wonderful summer .
we found this cutie pie in the park dirty,hungry and crying for help she could only be 2 or 3 months old,we took her home and gave her a bath and fed her. The girls pleaded with daddy for the cat to stay, of course daddy caved in. The girls felt like little heroes,now she's part of our growing family.

when we are not outside the girls spent their time putting this puzzles together . This spider was done by my oldest Carmen and the dinosaur was done by Tania

My two year old is driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!

Eva is driving me insane! she's acting so horrible. I know she's in her terrible twos, but c'mon does it have to be this bad. Why does she feel the need to take out my laptop keys ......why??? why does she's constantly touch everything that I said NOT TO TOUCH. she's scratching our DVD collection, she goes to the kitchen open the refrigerator and take all the food out , how is that fun? she spills water,milk, juice every chance she gets. She wake up in the night go to my room climb to my bed and push me out of my side of the bed to make space for her ...........arrr why why why??? she constantly fighting with her sister (sarai) and bothering the dog. She's so horrible that even my dog hide from her........LOL . She make me want to pull all my hair out. She's no angel that's for sure ,but I still love my little menace especially when she's sleeping LOL.

update

Kenia first ballet performance was Yesterday at Barnes and Noble. It was hectic ,We needed to be at the studio at 11:00 am ,even though the show was for 2:00pm. I was one of the moms that volunteer to help so I was very busy getting Kenia and the other girls ready and cleaning up the studio afterwards. I think this was good experience for Kenia and I.

Tania - still doing gymnastic , she learned how to the back handspring , it was a very excited moment for her.

Carmen- still playing tennis . Lately she have been very interested in the Chinese culture and now want to learn Chinese-mandarin. She is using Rosetta Stone and have learn some words.

Sarai- is learning how to read and add.

Eva- is learning new words each day ,songs,numbers,colors.

My biggest news is that I'm pregnant again, even though this will be my six child , I feel very happy and excited.

Mommy and me

Having five kids is not easy , not for the parents neither for the kids, there's is allways one that will feel left out, in this household is my 3 year old S , she is not the oldest, she's not the youngest. Is hard to keep up with all of them , but is my job to raise happy and healthy girls ,each of them need to feel important and love. So I decided that ones a week I'll take S to swim ,just us, this is her special time with mommy. S had a great time in the swimming pool ,she smile, she laugh , she really got a great time and so did I.
