idso: daycamp &/or gd childcare in Orlando, FL

Hi all! :)

If all goes well, I shall find myself in Montepulciano this summer! Dates are between: May 16 and June 23 for 2-3 weeks.

I am hoping to find a day camp for ages 3 and up, ideally, bilingual or arts. I will also happily 'settle' for childcare known for their gentle discipline practice. Bonus: anywhere between MetroWest and the Florida Mall would just be amazing!

OK, now the silly desperate story, if you're interested! :P

This trip has been 4 years in the making (well, truly about 15-20 years!)

My hubby will be teaching in Italy this summer. He's gone abroad to teach 3 times, each of those I was either very pregnant or our kids were too little for me to leave comfortably. Sooooo, this time, not preggy and at a point where i feel both my kids could be happy and safe with Grandma, I am looking forward to joining dh there for 2-3 weeks out of the 5 he'll be there!

So, I get my long-time-dreamed-of 'backpacking'-Europe-trip at age 30 freaking 6!!! :D

Kids will stay with Grandma in Orlando, but she also works. This is why I need such activities during that time.

Thanks all for any help one of you might provide! :) I mean, c'mon, look at them! :P (i know, what is mama hen going to say?)

crayon cupcakes

Hi! (i always wonder who it is i greet, lmao. one of my 16 personalities, probably!?)

Remember the neat-o idea for those little pieces of crayon one finds everywhere? (especially at your heel, where they hurt so much? :P) This is the cool site where I found the idea, and we tried it out! :)

Here they are on their way to become a different kind of crayon! I am not sure why i wanted to post about this, i think it's that i really enjoyed looking at the colors. Lots of colors! Crayons and cup thingies together.





And find them here after their transformation. Ok, so not great, but it was a good start! More crayons and probably the fat kind would be better, I think. Maybe baked at different intervals? Also, they mixed in a funny way.







Some colors went to the bottom, period. so they look like half-dipped reese's cups :P


E&M were so fun about them. BTW they had a great time peeling the pieces and putting them in the cups! Then they pretended to eat them, and Emma made shapes and she finally called it a caterpillar and at some other final point, train track. (ok, those are the 2 last ones that i remembered!)

I think they'd work fine for party favors, I'm just not quite there yet! :P

summer fun

Weee it's the summer, lol, and with that comes water. yayyy! it is a damn shame we have such a drought. it rained half a day, and things got sooo pretty and green. max helped a little with the flowers before that, though! emma had a blast making a painting for her abuela (or Grandma Morales, as she calls her if she's speaking English! lol)
