Finding Grace

A day in the life

Feliz Ano Nuevo!
 
We spent the first day of 2014 beaching it, Taganga style!
 
 
 
This morning while Charlotte was sleeping I let Nico paint. His new favorite hobby! While I was washing cloths, Charlotte woke up and joined him. They forgot to use the paper. Don't you know skin makes for a much better canvas! The old me would have been upset I had to clean them, the ground and everything else they touch. The new me says, let me get the camera!
 
 
 
There are about 6 Iguanas, we have seen, that live in the trees right off our balcony. On an daily basis Nico stands, calling for them.
"Iguana! Where are you!?"
 
After today I will never ever look at a washing machine the same. We've been able to wash and hang. Until this week when the washer broke. The now massive laundry pile was screaming at me, but the very fashion washing machine was screaming louder! The mess of cloths all over my floor won.
 
First you fill with hose water, soak in detergent, wash cycle. Pretty simple.
 
Then comes the fun.
You remove, place in bucket, of clean water, rinse and add softener.
 Then you put back into washer for spin cycle. Finally hang to dry.
Whew! This is exhausting!
 
At least you come in to find Daddy and Nico doing a sticker book of animals.
 
-Peace and Grace
