List

I can't believe it's been 3 months since i've written on here. Thankfully i've had a few sheets of paper (from Hotel Playa Mazatlan) on my desk that i've been jotting notes on to, of everything I mean to write in here.
-In Mazatlan, Marea looked at all the green and red decorations and said,' Look Mom, it's Christmas in Mexico!"
-Evie started a new 'tick' in Mexico-part of the tourette's I swear she has-it's now "butt butt butt" (instead of 'beep beep', or 'quack quack', or 'dong'). I hope Butt is the worst it gets!! She's still stuck on that one, today!!
-Whenever we would leave the hotel to go walk around, Evie would say, "I want to go back to Mexico!" (meaning the hotel). Poor girl was sweating like crazy and just wanted to go in the AC or the pool!! I remember when Marea did this in Utah. The house was 'utah'.
-When we would order food, Marea would say, with a pout, 'Is it Mexican?" We tried to get her excited about Mexican doughnuts and Mexican pancakes and Mexican cheeseburgers, but to her, everything just tasted different.
-And 'Elmo is so mean, so mean, (at niiiiiight...) that when you get back from Mexico, he takes you out for Mexican food!!!'

Other fun things we did this summer:
-Sea world with Jonas and Harper, slushie drinks, and watching the bird girl dolphin show (and getting a bird girl barbie, too!)
-watching gymnastics competition on the TV and then going out in the yard to practice! I remember doing that, only Marea has a balance beam that we constructed out of wood, lucky girl!
-Evie constantly saying that she wants to hold a baby chick. Not sure where this came from!

And then there's the start of school. Where do I start with that? I'm almost emotionally ready to talk about it. Almost. Stay tuned!
