A little more photo roundup!
Banks is an aspiring designer...I promise I didn't help her make this play-doh watch...she was watching me cook and saw my watch and replicated it. she even drew two little hands and dots for the numbers. Smart little cookie!
Big girl in her chair feeding herself. 9 months old...
Ok, so this is a funny story. I was walking down Moo Cow road and saw the same pumpkin, squash looking vines with the yellow flowers that eventually turn into squash and pumpkins that I always see. Then I spotted something a little different. Walked up into the "brush" a little ways and was scared out of my mind by a huge COW...who da thunk it! Ok, but that's not what I saw...I saw a giant pumpkin...Wahoo! I got it...then was scared once again when a farmer/gardner shouted at me holding a machete. He wasn't yelling at me to get out but asking if I wanted the machete to cut the root of the pumpkin. It was funny looking back bc I felt like i was running through a haunted house to get this pumpkin. There are a ton more but I've got to find some tall boots to get them. Then...I made a seriously yummy pumpkin pie, pumpkin, apple and banana baby food and pumpkin soup!!!
ANNOUNCING THE FUTURE MARIA SHARAPOVA:
AMELIA BANKS JONES
She is gonna be good...I hope :) Seriously, she can grip the racquet correctly and hit the ball when I throw it to her :) We had so much fun...she loved it. This is her "balance beaming"!!!
What i'm amazed with is how much she's grown! She is seriously the size of a 5 year old, easy.
5 months ago, while living in the good ol' US of A...I would have thought that this meal looked very good but very achievable!!! Not so fast George Banks...soft sandwich bread, turkey, cheese, cheezits, pickled okra and Reese's all together at the same time are just about unheard of in good old' Dominica! This was our "post-mini" lunch. I have recently found that one of the local restaurants gets there food flown in from Cisco Miami and will sell there deli meat, bread and cheese just like a prepared meal. IGA also got in a shipment of Cheezit's and Pickled Okra that week and I had just recently taken a trip to the capital city Roseau, where i stocked up on a few choice sweets. The crazy thing about this super yummy but albeit ordinary meal is that it probably cost me around $11 US/plate. The box of cheezit's alone cost me $8 US. I won't normally buy the cheezits nor the pickled okra which costs me about $6.75 US but sometimes the thought of a little bit of home and good old turkey sandwich with crackers is too good to pass up. no matter the cost! Also, we never eat out. Mostly because we are trying to save every ounce of money we have and there are not many kid friendly restaurants around so this is like going out to lunch to celebrate David's first mini down!
Poor Eloise, the only pictures I have of her are her eating, drinking or NAKED!! Thank you Lindsey Clyde who lit a fire under my behind to capture this awesome moment at the pool!!! What a chunk...she's my little chunk!!
The girls go to school from 8-12 every day, eat lunch at 1230 nap from 1-3 and then to the pool!!! This is our daily ritual and we're usually accompanied by some of my awesome friends who also have kids similar ages to Banks and Eloise. The sad part is that some of these awesome friends are leaving in December because their time here on the island is over :( We are going to miss them a whole lot.
Cheers!
