Carlos' black eye???

Okay, so Carlos loves to wrestle with the boys, but maybe he should not teach them so much!

He was playing with Giovanni on Sunday, and he layed down on his belly on the couch to hide from him.   Giovanni snuck around the corner of the couch and there was a little hole, he took his fist and punched up and hit Carlos square in the eye.  Carlos jumped up off the couch and was just holding his eye. Meanwhile, Giovanni is dancing around saying "Oh yeah I got you good." 

When Carlos took his hand down from his eye, I said "I better get you an ice pack" He had a cut under his eye and a purple eye!! 

When he got up the next day for work, he had a full black eye!!!! I had to take a picture I will try to put it up! Giovanni definitely got him good.

P.S. I forgot to mention Carlos had to present at work on Monday....OOPS! 

Mother's Day!

I had such a great Mother's day! It started the day before, Carlos asked me what I wanted to eat for Mother's day (You know out of the small amount of things he know how to cook :). So I made my list and out to the store he went.  On Mother's Day he took all the boys downstairs, while I rested in bed. Then they came back upstairs, with breakfast and each of them had their cards.  I also got a very sweet card from Carlos.  One of those cards that said everything, that you hope your husband is thinking!

Then off to church, which was nice.  Except the whole time we were sitting in Relief Society listening to a good talk, I kept thinking I guess this is why I am in Primary.  Why you ask....because I have an attention span of a child, I could not wait to get up and walk around!! 

Then home to relax and have Carlos make dinner! Then give all of of our kids baths. It was a pretty great day! I guess I will be working hard on Father's day!

Giovanni asked me when it is kid's day, I told him that would be everyday.

FHE

Not growing up in a Mormon family, I never had nor never heard of Family Home Evening. So when we joined the church and started having a family I was excited of the thought of it. You know the THOUGHT of it! I imagined singing Primary songs, doing fun family activities, reading the scriptures together and coloring. Well it goes more like this.......

Me: Okay everyone time for Family Home evening

Today we are going to talk about being a good example

Giovanni: I already know how to be a good example

Me: Yeah I know but we are going to talk about how Jesus' is a good example

Angelo: Is there going to be a snack?

Me: Yes there will be a snack.

Angelo: When can we have snack?

Me: After we are done talking.

Me: Okay Daddy is going to start with a scripture.

Giovanni: I know we should be a good example like Jesus

Me: Yes, we should Daddy is going to read a scripture about that.

Angelo: Are we done talking yet? Are we ready for a snack yet?

Me: I just look at Carlos.....I would say are we almost done but 10 minutes has passed and we did not start yet. 

Lucky for me Carlos is good about catching their attention. Without him I am pretty sure I would have just served snack! So it is not going the way I thought but at least we try!
