Fruit, Pool and a Cat

This is the third time we have had granadilla for dessert. I had to show you what it looks like. It is a fruit with a hard skin. You cut it in half and eat the seeds and the slimy stuff that is around them. It is something you have to swallow without chewing, because the seeds are hard and bitter. It is awful looking (I think), but actually tastes very good and sweet (if you can get past the way it looks). The boys and Dan all like it. (Mom, I actually did eat it the first time, but just can't get past the not chewing and the way it looks to do it again)

We had our second trip to the pool today. As before it was hot when we left to go and it got cloudy and cooler when we arrived at the pool. When we got dressed to leave the sun came back out. We made the best of it tho. The boys love the pool, even if they are shivering. The water is not particularly warm, but not terribly cold either. We bought "wings" for them so we don't have to try to hold onto all 3 of them. They were a little too big for Andres, but the other two did ok with them. It took Juan awhile to believe they would hold him up, but in the end he did and had a good time in the deep end. No parks today at all. Dan spent the morning shopping and with the pool this afternoon there wasn't really enough time. We did make an important purchase. Dan got a stuffed cat for Juan Pablo to sleep with. Now the dogs can have their toys back. He loves it. He tried to bring it to the table for lunch wrapped up in a towel. Andres got a baby Pooh and Maicol got a soccer ball. Andres went right to sleep for his nap and this evening with it. Don't know that the Pooh did it, but it sure didn't hurt. When Maicol goes to the store again we'll see if he wants something to sleep with also. Dan is feeling better today.

Everyone is asleep by 9pm tonight. Juan Pablo fell asleep while they were watching Robin Hood. Andres laid down, held onto the Pooh and fell asleep. Maicol was out last, but very quickly. I think he was tired, and with Juan already asleep there was no one to mess with to keep him awake.

Mom, we'll try to get a picture taken of all of us tomorrow. We started to tonight, but Juan was already asleep and just couldn't wake up. Usually after breakfast everyone is still happy and relatively clean.

We found out that we got Judge #6. Don't know exactly what that means for us, except that we do not have to go and see him like we would if we had received Judge #3.

Stay tuned tomorrow. Same time, same station.
PS: there had better be some comments or no pictures!

I'll eat that slimy stuff with the seeds, Mom.

Granadilla!!

This is how I watch a movie after a long day at the pool.
