On the first Saturday of every month, the local Home Depot has a kids workshop, where they give kids a free kit as well as a supply of hammers and wood glue. Last time, Eliana built a fire boat and this past weekend, she built a spice rack (which she had a hard time understanding the purpose of, until we brought it home and put spice jars on it.) She has fun, can hammer a nail in with Dad's assistance, and even got her own apron to take home. If you look closely, her apron is in Spanish; they must have run out of English ones.

On Saturday evening, we made green onion pancakes for dinner. Eliana helped to roll out the dough and sprinkle green onions on top. She was a very good helper. During dinner, she tried eating them, but declared that she didn't like them. We think they were too tough and chewy and also she said she didn't like the "salad" inside of them.

Eliana came up with a new game called "shopping." She stuffed her toy shopping cart with her toy fruits and vegetables and brings them to the cashier. This went on for about 1/2 hour or more.

Karina is becoming quite the talker, or rather, the squealer or squawker. The noises she makes sound like what a bird would make, or maybe a pterodactyl. Sometimes during dinnertime, she is the one doing the most talking while the rest of us just listen.

Bathtime is much more intriguing to Eliana now because Karina will often join her. Eliana thinks its VERY exciting to share a bathtub with her baby sister.

Karina enjoys the baths as well. She enjoys floating in the warm water.
After bathtime, Eliana was frolicking with her sister before putting on her pajamas.
