Two Relaxing Days

My kids are raiding the snack box. There are smarties, cheesys, pretzels, cereal, gum, gummy bears, and more. The Doritos are long gone and the cream cheese is hidden. When all the rest is gone, we'll start on the Paraguayan goodies.
We had two relaxing days. Days to catch up on sleep and get to know each other, and cook together. The little cousins are working on sharing and are doing a great job of it. Only every once-in-a-while there is a little bit of disagreement. The older guys are busy with music or other things.
I remember when our small kids went up the the States for the first time and only wanted to eat hot dogs...every day! So, mom just stashed dozens of hot dogs in her refrigerator...and, they never have gotten sick of them. My sister's kids have been eating well...even spinach pie! (Tarta de Acelga/Espinaca).
Today we went to La Quinta. It's been in the 90's so we had a cool swim before siesta.
In a couple of hours...our rushing will begin with church/weekend activities and Monday...TEACHING! (Sometimes , our "day of rest" is a rushing day of activities!)
No more sleeping in, gals! We're on the run! Monday morning at 5:OO sharp we'll be up and preparing for school.

Even the blog sounded relaxed.

Too bad one whole bin couldn't have been filled with ONLY the munchies. Maybe it would have lasted 2 weeks instead of 2 days.

Sounds like you've got teen agers! Actually they don't eat their food, they inhale it! Glad they're enjoing the goodies

Mondays make the next weekend seem that much sweeter...
