Semana Santa en Melaque

The kids have been out of school for a week now and a few days I've become the babysitter including cleaning up, butt wiping, clothes changer and chauffeur. We went to the Saint Patrick's festival for fireworks and carnival, watched cartoons, played computer games .... and went to the airport to pickup Ron and Dora. Kids hadn't been to an airport before.

So Ron and Dora are here and 3 of their family from San Luis Potosi and the house is full, the streets are full and the beaches are full. We had everybody over for asada (bar-b-que) yesterday. We are considering a waterpark outing because it's impossible to get a table in a beach restaurant unless you grab it like 9am

Semana Santa crowds and this is the unpopular end of the beach due to wave size

Gatos Rateros

To those of you that missed the feather duster episode a few months back .... our cats had been bringing these things home and leaving them by the door. Well, it stopped for a few months, (no more in neighborhood?), but last week it started up again with another duster. Yesterday we found a baby blanket by the back door. The cats are fixed so that is not the reasoning. Simply rateros !!!

You wouldn't think it of him

The construction of the house finished in April 2011 and I'm pretty much settled in. As of March 2014 I'm in preparation for rain mode for this coming summer. That includes sealing and painting things and dealing with drainage issues from last year.
