Update

Gabriela is loving to dress up in princess dresses and pretend play! Lately she has been talking a lot about Queens and loves when I tell her pretend stories. One of her favorite things is dressing up Mommy and putting makeup on her. She tells me to "close your eyes," "keep them shut," and "que linda Mommy." I never thought I would be getting a make over from my two year old daughter!

Gabriela has started cooking with me. I let her spice the meat, stir, crack eggs, and add water into the bowl! She loves it and it gives her something to do when I am preparing dinner. Of course it can get messy at times, but we usually try and clean up before Daddy gets home! Baking is her favorite and she loves licking the bowl! We don't have a dishwasher here and hand wash all the dishes. This is always something she loves to do and it helps me out! She will spend thirty minutes at the sink using half the bottle of soap and only wash two plates!!

Halloween In Argentina!!!

Every year I am always missing being in The States for Halloween. Nobody celebrates it like the U.S. or has the great costumes! This year I decided to invite Gabriela's friend over for a mini Halloween party. She had eight people over, and they all wore costumes. This was the first time any of them had dressed up for Halloween. Jessica came over and dressed up as a clown and also painted their faces. We had games, candy, cupcakes, and pumkins for each of them. The best part of the party was taking the kids trick or treating! It was great because they don't do that here! The kids did not know we bought the candy previously and gave it to some people we knew to hand out!! They just thought it was great going to peoples houses and stores saying "trato o tuco"for candy! I will never forget the smile on there faces or our friends who were giving them candy. Nichy had a game that night so we took the kids to the club for trick or treating also. Apparently Gabriela was the big talk with the broadcasters at the game because she had her costume on. I am trying to get a copy of it! All of my friends keep telling me she was on television a lot!!
