Park time.

It was around 6pm and I decided that I might as well take my little cousins to the park or else they were probably never going to stop asking me. :p

So we grabbed 2 basketballs and a soccer ball and walked on over. Thankfully, the park is super close to my house so we got there quickly. We played soccer for a bit and they had me as goalie (I tend to flinch if balls are being aimed at me, just fyi, ><). Then we headed on over to the basketball court and played for a while. I had to give them a brief overview of the rules because they kept on traveling ahhaha. So we had Omar and Jose Antonio on one team versus Rafa and me on the other. Eventually it just ended up being me versus them…hehe. I must say it was a lot of fun, we all got a workout and a lot of laughs out of it. Also, they are sneaky little boys, Omar pulled down on my blouse while we were playing so that I wouldn’t make the shot =_=

After that I just let them have fun on the playground :) and once the sun had set and it was getting dark we walked back home.

I was cleaning up the junk on my bed so I could create a nice learning environment as I study for my Portuguese final. While I was taking things off my bed I found a folded up paper on my bed :) It was the paper my little cousin Rafa had given me the day he came over. I hadn&#8217;t actually taken a look at it when he gave it to me and I had completely forgotten about it until today when I found it among the papers on my bed. It says, &#8220;Tank you Dana&#8221; &#8230;hehe, he&#8217;s still learning how to spell. It made me smile :)

Usually the best way to keep my little cousins entertained for a good amount of time is by letting them do artsy things. So I covered the floor in newspaper and let them go at it with markers, paints, and color pencils.

More park time. So we went over to the sand area and at one point they were running towards me and Omar totally ran into my hand and my nail broke, ouchie. He got a Hello Kitty bandaid in the end for his cut ><

Then they noticed that there was water on the baseball field which looked pretty cool so they ended up doing what most little boys do…going into it.

I was telling them they were going to get in trouble by my mom and Rafa replied, “just tell them a bird peed on my shoes.” Hahha…goodness.

My little cousins came over today so I decided to take them to the park because the weather was awesome…windy and cloudy but bright :)

:) Friendly interactions

My kinesiology class was canceled today so I began walking all the way back to the other side of campus where my car was located. It was starting to rain pretty hard so I began to walk briskly and so did everyone else (I walk quickly regardless, lol, but today everyone else did too).

Anyway, I had to pause every couple of steps and take off my glasses and wipe them down with my shirt because the water droplets would cover the lense— it made me feel kinda nerdy, haha, oh well. Water droplets and constantly having to wipe down is definitely one of the negatives of deciding to wear glasses instead of contacts to school when it’s raining. I have to remember to keep that in mind.

Well, I was walking down the path near the Education building and I saw this lady holding hands with a little girl and they were walking quickly towards my direction. The lady was gently pulling the little girl along and the little girl had the biggest smile as she was almost jogging to keep up with her mom’s (?)quick pace. (The little girl seemed so happy. I guess she must like the rain or maybe she was excited about wherever she was headed to…or maybe she’s just a very happy and excited child). It was funny because from a distance I could see that the little girl was waving her free hand to nobody the whole time as she jogged forward. So once they got closer to me I decided I would smile and wave back to the little girl (I figured someone should wave back to her eventually :p) When I did so, she got the cutest and biggest smile. It was so sweet and she kept on telling her mom, “She waved back! She waved back!” :) It kinda made my day. Little things like that make me happy…

Little kids are awesome. I always see them on my way back to my car since I park near  the Education building and they have some sort of preschool program there. So there’s always random little kids inside or outside the building getting dropped off or picked up.

Pictures I took of Omar and Rafa last night as we were going back to my car from the mall.

They were very tired when I finally drove them back home this afternoon, they had fallen asleep in the backseat. Sidenote: I don’t think any of us will be looking forward to having to wake up for classes tomorrow morning.

“Every day I’m dougie-ing.”  -Omar :)

I don&#8217;t know if you can see the three little white things hanging from the tree (they&#8217;re supposed to be ghosts)&#8230;well anyways,  I was just about to get in my car when I looked over at the tree and noticed the little &#8220;ghosts.&#8221; The funny thing is that I made these last year with my little cousins Omar and Rafa for Halloween. I&#8217;m kinda surprised they&#8217;re still up there after a full year. I remember I held up Rafa so he could hang one of them and then I let Omar climb the tree so he could hang up the two that were higher up.  :) I miss hanging out with those two little monsters&#8230;.

Kids Say the Darndest Things - ART LINKLETTER

Oh my goodness this is hilarious! Kids really do say the darndest thing. My chest was starting to hurt from laughing…I blame part of that to me being sick but it was super funny.

“What do you think would make a perfect husband, Karen?”

“Well a man that provides a lot of money, loves horses, and will let you have 22 kids, and doesn’t put up a fight.”

“What do you think you’ll be when you grow up?”

 ”A nun.”

hahahahha

Man, I’m going to miss these little munchkins :)

They moved for the time being and I’m not sure when the next time I’ll see them will be. Hopefully they don’t forget me too easily! (I made them a little album so they won’t be able to do so)

Eh, it’s a bit old but it’s still cute. I was looking through some of the videos on my laptop and found this one of my little cousins. Dancing to Ne-Yo as usual.
