So many people wonder what all we do down here...well to be honest not a whole lot! We 'have a car yet, and even if we did...Aaron would have it for work. So during the work week when it is just me, Cohen, and Landen this is what we do!
8:00 get out of bed (yes I know I do not get up easily, but if the boys sleep, I sleep!)
Feed Cohen and myself.
8:30 Get our bathing suits on and lather up with lotion pile all the pool toys into the stroller along with towels, hats, sunglasses, 2 rafts, water, diapers, wipes.... (we are the third story up so I have to be prepared so I don't have to come up all the time!)
9:00 head to the pool kids and junk piled on the stroller. We then play with our new buddy Saoul (he is 17 months - lil Costa Rican who lives at the condos) And Erika, Saoul's mom, helps me watch Cohen while I deal with Landen. And we tried to communicate with what little spanish and english we know together.
10:00 Landen falls asleep on a lounge chair in the shade...all by himself! So nice! So Cohen and I play in the pool at this time...
11:00 Feed Landen by the pool. While Erika plays with Cohen.
12:30 Head up to the room for lunch (Landen quick cat nap)
1:00 Clean up after lunch, pick up the condo, and yes...believe it or not I make food for later that day! (Today was guacamole and jello...not much but its a start for me!)
Meanwhile Cohen plays with his trains and sometimes watches Thomas the train.
2:00 Feed Landen and Put Cohen to bed. (Cohen we struggle to keep in bed sometimes..) I put Landen down as well, and he falls asleep on his own! YEAH! Both sleep till 5:00
Meanwhile during this time...I sit on my butt! Haha, this is when I catch up on emails, work on photos, munch on food, drink my juice, and watch a movie...while trying to learn spanish from the subtitles.
5:00 Boys up, feed Landen. Change diapers...and if dad is home (usually is by this point) we head to the beach and watch surfers. An occasional swim on those much too hot days.
6:00 supper (typically Aaron cooks. I hate to cook!) Haven't found many things to make yet. There is limited supplies at the grocery store and when I find the section I need I cant always read it. So I have learned to type my grocery list and translate into spanish before I go so i can find what I need easier.
And if you have any meals I can make with very few ingredients let me know! I need some more! Chicken meals are good - ones that don't require a grill..if you have any email me at karingastudios@gmail.com Thanks!
Occasionally for supper we head into town. We have found a few places to eat and with a whole meal with drinks cost only $8.00! Crazy I know. Makes it easier to go out.
We find things to do till bedtime...such as play with Saoul down by the parking lot. They are learning to share....well trying to teach anyways.
8:00 Bath time....
8:30 Feed Landen get boys ready for bed
9:00 read books to Cohen and have him in bed by 9:15 While getting Landen ready for bed and him also in his crib.
*sigh*
Then...for maybe an hour Aaron and I lay in bed and watch the first half/middle/end of a movie...never the full thing :)
And to bed by 10:30! (Its dark here by 6:00 so you get tired here early...and its light by 5:30!)
So anyways thats what our day is like!
