Shrek the Musical

 Today Bianca and I watched Shrek the musical at Scera in Orem. We had so much fun! The cast was incredibly talented, and our favorite characters were definitely Lord Farquaat and Donkey. Lord Farquaat’s character play every scene on his knees (since the movie character is short). It was HILARIOUS!

During intermission Bianca and I got treats and stretched our legs. Ale and Giovi didn't want to come this time. Last time we all went together and watched Descendants, and vovó Zete was here.

Giovi was invited by a friend to watch Seussical in Centerville around the same time of our play. She loved it! I know they are coming to Orem in June, so we might all go and check it out.

I love plays. I used to go to them all the time in Brazil. I am glad to be able to take my girls now, and I am glad they like it as much as I do.

Little chef

 Bianca is our little chef. She loves food and she is always around the kitchen offering help or trying new recipes with her cooking set. She says she will be a chef and will own a restaurant. I told her she could use all the ingredients from the farm she keeps saying we will build together. I love her little brain and her big ideas!!!

Today she made us delicious brownies. She measured, poured, and mixed the ingredients all by herself while I was busy taking one hundred pictures of the whole process. I just helped with the oven. 

* A pause for the classic lick *

Her brownies turned out great! I can't wait for more delicious recipes. Way to go Bibi!

And thank you Mellissa Brito for the beautiful cooking set!

St Patrick’s Day 2024

St. Patrick's celebrations started with a special breakfast with rainbow pancakes. Because I've been so busy I had to come up with a simpler idea for our pancakes. It definitely doesn't look like the ones I saw on Pinterest, but the girls love it and that is what's important. 

After breakfast we did our traditional St. Patrick's scavenger hunt. This year I used this one. It has a lot more clues and it is perfect for older kids. 

I hid clues everywhere in the house- inside the fridge, the cabinets, under the chairs, inside drawers, etc. The girls were sweating when the scavenger was over. In the end, they found their prizes the Leprechaun left under Bianca's bed. 

They got chocolate and a lucky penny!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

 

Sticky notes

I am so deeply grateful for Young Women Organization, and for the love the leaders have for our girls. There they learn how to grow in faith, in knowledge, in beauty, and in charity. Once a week all the girls meet for activities. Sometimes they do community service, or they go to the temple, sometimes they watch a movie. Giovanna loves it!

Today they drove to Timpanogos Temple to stick nice notes on people's cars. I think it was such a thoughtful idea. I remember when I found one on my car's window at work- it made me so happy after a hard, long shift!

Look how beautiful these young women are!
