Pulling The Bar Off The Gate Latch

Hey I'll Be Right Back, OK?

Stephen loves to go out in the street. So much so that he figured out how to open the complicated, multi-step latch to Nana's front gate. He took off his shoe and threw it through the bars of the fence to have an excuse, then cracked the code of opening the latch. Pretty good for 15 months! But sorry, there are way too many cars that go by there.

Nana's Pictures

Sarah: Why are there so many pictures on the wall? (In Nana's kitchen)

Nana: Pues para verse bonito (To look nice).

Sarah: But the pictures are falling. It no look nice!

(Adults laugh)

Missing Sarah

Sarah went to visit her Tia Meche and Ivett, Jose and Daira in down the street in Babispe, and she has been there for TWO WHOLE DAYS! We sure miss her! She stopped over here at Nana's yesterday for a couple of hours but cried so sadly when it was time for everyone to leave, that Mama gave her permission to go back with her aunts.

Not You Stupid Beagle

Sarah (laughing): I'm not you stupid beagle! Linus says that.

Papa: Sarah, do you mean, I'm not your Sweet Baboo?

Sarah: I'm not your Sweet Baboo! I'm not your Sweet Baboo! I'm not your Sweet Baboo! (singing/rapping) I'm not your Sweet Baboo! I'm not your Sweet Baboo! I'm not your Sweet Baboo!

In other news, Mama thinks that Peanuts is a bad influence on Sarah (because Lucy is mean and says and does not nice things).

Mama's Mini Science Documentary

Thousands of these little ants were carrying tiny shreds of tree leaves all in a line outside Nana's house. It was fascinating to watch and Mama decided to try to photograph it a bit.
