We threw an early birthday party for Charlie and Diego given that we'll be gone for their actual birthdays. We made pinatas for the kids to decorate, rented a moonbounce and made lots of food. It was a lot of fun despite all the weather and park obstacles. Charlie really likes moonbounces but I never have patience to wait in line so we rented a big cake one just for him. Charlie and I spent various afternoons making pinatas which he was great at....except that he got the flour/water mixture all over the house. But he was very proud of his work.
Unfortunately we've been having a record heat wave here so it was forecast to be 95 by 10am!! ahh! On top of that when we arrived the sprinklers were going off so we couldn't set up the food. I asked the park authoritarian if he could help, but he just shrugged and told me to wait another 30 min. Carlos then went to talk to him....he turned off the sprinklers. what's wrong with me that i have no authority?!

Nevertheless it turned out to be a lot of fun. Charlie really misses his classmates and is constantly telling me who he misses so he was super happy to see everyone. Speaking of summer - I decided that I would prefer school to run year-round or maybe have an optional summer school verison. I have a random assortment of camps and nothing perfect. Charlie LOVED soccer camp but it only ran for two weeks. This week we tried CHDS and I was annoyed from the beginning. It seemed like glorified babysitting with field trips to places I didn't want them to go. We dropped out after the first day....
