Speaking about the 11 year old. Sooner or later it had to happen but I agree where did all the time go. It is strange seeing the oldest child become a woman because I have nothing to compare it to. With the younger children it was “I remember when Raimy did that” but with her there is nothing to compare it to.

By the way I like your videos.

Alece – Would you believe that in the 7 years I have lived through this tradition I have not once thrown a water balloon? I don’t know… I guess I should be like if you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em. But when they are freezing them to inflict injury or filling them with mud mixed with car oil to leave a lasting mark I just can’t see being a part of it. Also it has something to do with speaking to the Pachamama god and asking her something so it has controversial overtones amongst the non-catholic believers. If I do throw a balloon it will be for you. :-)

Annie – Thank you for your prayers.

Mandie – I have heard of those books. Thanks! Happy Kings Day to you too.

Thumbuddy – Never a dull moment.

Libby – That is so great that you were able to really take a break. Let me know how it goes with that Spanish speakin’ business! :-)

Carin – The water balloons go all the way through Carnaval – the great climax with TONS of water play everywhere! This year the Carnaval celebrations proper start on February 24; they will go for about 3 days. Yes, you will arrive smack dab in the middle of all the water balloon “fun” on the streets.

How long does this water balloon thing last? Will it still be happening at the end of January???

Happy Kings Day!! (And watch out for that balloon! ~ To be sung to “George, George, George of the jungle…watch out for that TREE!”)

TImes are a changing! School is back in session now and it’s crazy! That is greatly due to the fact that we had 3 snow days the week before Christmas break AND the fact that I really BREAKED for Christmas (meaning NO WORK & ALL PLAY!!) which I’m sure I’ll pay greatly for this week! UGH! Oh well…it really was a GREAT break!

OH! Got my Rosetta Stone in today…but probably shouldn’t start it until next Saturday. But will probably give it a whirl Wednesday or possibly Thursday, if I can fit it in!

BIg hugs!!

Have you ever heard of the children’s books about a girl named Eloise by Kay Thompson?
When I read about throwing water balloons in the streets…for some reason I thought of those. I’m not entirely sure why.
Happy King’s Day tomorrow!
