Is it snowing??

"I'm not sleeping you know cause I have to see when the snowing is coming" So Cristi is still awake.......the reason I hear you ask? He keeps poking his head out the door asking "is it snowing?" No I reply it's not not yet. He can't cope with the fact that he's heard its been snowing in Sweden and Scotland. Plus the last two days the temps have dropped and someone told him it might snow tomorrow. I think he might be waking up tired and disappointed! But it did make me laugh that he's now switched from Romanian to asking in English - like that might make the snow come quicker!

Tired and frustrated

So today I had a couple of fun Thanksgiving things to do with the boys in preparation for tomorrow but alas neither of them wanted to do anything but fight and whine and cry so this evening has been AWESOME!!!! (Can you feel the sarcasm oozing out of that?) Anyway I'm hoping for this tomorrow instead - we'll see. I hope so!

Little boys.....

Sitting at dinner tonight I sighed
"Oh I'm super tired!"
"Ha Mama you're not super"
"What do you mean of course I am"
"No you look nothing like Spiderman - where's your mask!!"

It made me giggle thought I should share that one with you all!

It made me smile when.......

.....Cristi read a word for the first time on his own - "mama"
.....I told Alex goodnight and he made kissing noises into the air
.....we found another kitten and Kiki got sad that I gave it to our friend because we have 2 already - then we got home and he pulled our cats into his arms and told them how much he loved them
.....Alex was talking about a girl in gradi and Kiki said "that's A-N-A say it after me I'll teach you to spell"
.....When we got to the petrol station the other day none of us had money. So out of 5 adults we paid 14 lei 70 bani (roughly £3) to get us to an 8th Birthday party
.....We visited the institution and the girl I'm closest to got so happy when she wrote my name in chalk on her own on the ground (she's 28)
.....writing numbers in April Cristi learned number 5 by saying it looked like Grandpa's big belly. Today he told me Grandpa was also number 6 and 8 because of his belly, but that he (Cristi) was number 9 because of his curly hair
.....This evening he wanted to help me in the kitchen so he put on his apron and proclaimed "I am the man of the kitchen and I can do anything you ask"
.....The joy that Kiki and Alex had when we lit the candles and turned out the lights for a candle-lit dinner.
.....Cristi bumped a pram with his bike and so apologised to it before telling it he loved it and giving it a kiss!
.....This afternoon the boys got out their babies and dressed them in warm clothes to go out into the snow. Even though Cristi was wearing a t-shirt and sandals!
.....we ate lunch today and could sit outside in the warm November sun :)
.....we talked about the old orphanage and how they were when they were babies and what songs we used to sing and Cristi's face turned into a huge smile "I love you mama" he said

Autumn Adventures

Last week was November Holiday week so we made the most of the wonderful weather to go out and have some adventures in the warm November sun.

*NOVEMBER*
Friends, Laughter, Family, Fun.
All enjoyed under November Sun.
Walks, Picnics, Forests, Joy.
All enjoyed with my baby boy.
Autumn leaves come tumbling down
Blanketing the floor in a carpet brown.
Sunshine, Clear Sky, Flying Kites.
Come to an end with star filled Nights.
