Decorating for Halloween

 I am so glad October is here and I can finally decorate the house for Halloween- one of my favorite holidays. I was so excited to use the new decorations I got!



 

I still have to have the girls fill up our potions. They are very good at it and they still love making a little mess. I am also planning to buy our pumpkins this weekend between sessions from General Conference.

Weekend with the Brito girls

 Giovi, Bianca, and I drove to North Salt Lake this past weekend to watch the Brito girls while their parents are in a trip to Italy. We had a fun time watching movies, baking, and roller skating.


At Classic Fun we had quite a few falls. Bianca fell on her back and hit her neck, but thanks goodness she was fine, and didn't break anything!. I fell hard on my knees and I needed to apply some ice. Claire also fell and scraped her right knee. Bella fell so many times I lost count. I think Giovi was the only one who didn't fall. 

They were truly champs! We sure had some tears but they didn't give up and were sad when was time to leave- specially Bella who fell the most and wanted to keep skating until 9pm when they close. Haha

At home Claire baked and frosted a delicious cake for us. She did it all by herself- I just helped with the oven. We had it with ice cream after dinner. And off course we sang happy birthday.. just because. 


Throughout the weekend I was also able to study a bit for tests coming up next week. In the meantime the girls watched to 

-Maleficent 2

-The SpongeBob SquarePants movie

-Descendants 1, 2, & 3

Timp Carnival

 The girls were looking forward to the carnival at Timp Academy. Bianca kept asking all week long when I was going to buy her wrist band. She was so excited!



Ms. Kasi (Bianca’s art teacher) asked Giovi to come and help face painting the children. She was also very excited. Giovi misses Timp and her former teachers. She was happy to see them and some of her old friends. 


I think this is the first time we stayed throughout the whole thing. The girls had a lot of fun, and I even participated in the school’s auction, which I had never before. 

Bianca came back home with a “pet bunny” she won at one of the games. A couple of weeks ago the school had the kid decorate soda bottles for the carnival. Bianca didn’t want to make one, but was excited to get one from her friends.

Orthodontist- Bianca

 I took Bianca to two different orthodontist to have her teeth checked. I got two different answers. One of them suggested have her remove five teeth and wait, while the other one suggested braces. I really like both offices, now it is just a matter of deciding which way to go. 


I talked to Ale and we both think having her put braces might be the best option, specially because we went through the same thing with Giovanna (remember when she removed five teeth?), and now she needs braces and possibly surgery. 

With the treatment Bianca will have to wear an expander and braces to open up space for the permanent teeth come in. Then the second phase of the treatment will be to make sure her bite is correct and her teeth aligned. She is not excited about it, but at least she will be all done before Junior High.
