Bed for Three
Since Daddy's away for a few days on a business trip, the girls have taken over our bed. It is becoming a tradition. I don't know what will happen when they get bigger.
Until then, the three of us fit. Uncomfortably.

Alina's Latest Words of Wisdom
Just a few of the many interesting and funny things Alina says that were written down before they were forgotten.
Our meals are becoming uncommonly pleasant!
Imitating Prince John's laugh from the cartoon "Robin Hood":
Haw-haw. Haw-haw. Forgive me the cruel chuckle.
I was there during the episode, so I remember it very well.
After showing me a few diary pages she had made:
For things like this, it has to be pink and feminine.
In some situations, pink goes better with it.
While putting two molars under her pillow:
Maybe the Tooth Fairy will give me two reais for each tooth. Then I'll be rich!

Children's Day Fun
Children's Day isn't an actual holiday, but it so happens to be on the same day as a national holiday, which of course, is very welcome for both kids and parents.
Alina's school didn't have class Monday through Wednesday, so she's happily having a 2-day school week. Many schools give the kids the whole week off.
Anyhoo, we celebrated this very special day with a yummy breakfast of their choice, and then packed a picnic and headed off to Mangabeiras park. The place was packed! There was no space to lay out a mat, but thankfully we found a picnic table that had just been vacated.
Having a picnic at Mangabeiras park was Alina's idea and she's aware that she only has a few more years to choose what to do for Children's Day. Soon enough Laura will be talking and choosing activities and then they'll have to come to an agreement.
So, we had a delightful picnic of provolone, mozzarella, salami, champignon, etc., etc. sandwiches, and grape juice. Alina's favorite. Then we strolled around, looked at the huge fish, bought pinwheels, had popsicles, looked at the things some indians were selling, got a seed bracelet for Alina, and played in a wooden playground.
Once we were back home, the girls went on the trampoline, watched a movie, went on the trampoline again, had a pillow fight on the trampoline, and then ended this wonderful day with a yummy wannabe banana split.
Time for a picnic:
Alina insisted on having a tuna fish sandwich (with her favorite trimmings, of course):
Silly goose:
A smile, at last!
Alina trying to keep her balance:
And the copycat:
Fish!
Pinwheels!
Taking in all the sights and sounds:
She actually wanted to pose for a picture with the indian. Progress. He's a Pataxó indian from the northeast of the country. One of the other indians had a pouch made from a coati, like literally, the entire animal. Strangely, she was fascinated with it. I thought she would have felt sorry for the pooch.
Leaving the park and the Serra do Curral in the background:
View of the city in the distance:
Playing:
Great way to end a day!
