Garbage Bag Kids
Little Miss Somebody was throwing hissy fits today. We told her since she was constantly throwing tantrums, she must be broken and that we'd have to throw her away. We dumped her into one of those grocery store plastsic bags-it's not a Hefty, but it sure holds like one! Who knew those things were so strong! (ps kids dont try this at home...yeah i know there are many a bady lesson we are teaching kids here...)

Grety, Gretzy
Yesterday Greta (Gretzy) came over and watched Sophia for us, while we went out to our first adult dinner in a while. I just realized that we have never gotten a babysitter to watch Sophia while we did something for ourselves. We have left her with the Grans or Nonni, if we happened to be staying at their house. but that was always a passive agressive/matter of convenience move. When Pietro came out the other night, Franci and I were talking about that and we decided to get someone to watch the kids and go do something as adults! so we went out to dinner at Baja Sardinja - (if you come, i will take you!!!) and greta came over and told sophia about her love life - sophia was scared stiff and went to bed and fell asleep extra early. ( the next morning sophia came into our room and instead of asking for breakfast, asked what happened to greta).

First Day of School
It snowed some more last night. A lot more! Plus it was the first day back to school after the holidays. It snowed too much to drive so we walked...
But it was so deep she pooped out. Poor Max has all of Sophia's linens for her cot, her towel, and Pia peed her pants on the last day of school, so we also have the extra change of clothes-plus Sophia.

La Befana
La Befana is a witch that brings sweets and presents to kids in the middle of the night and leaves them inside old socks. It's a bit like Christmas, but not as big in this area. It's a holiday here and then after this, the kids go back to school. Our neighbors were so sweet, they left Sophia a sock full of sweets on the door. It dumped snow ALL night and so this morning we went out to play.Hooray! Snow!!!
ValentinaFromSchool
Valentina is Sophia's 'new' friend. They started school together on the same day/in the same class. We don't know any other Valentinas, so Im not sure why Sophia calls her ValentinaFromSchool. The girls had lots of fun! They made cake, they decorated cookies, danced and played! Sophia had a great playdate.

Walkies...
Like all Short Lived New Years Resolution Makers, I've decided that we need to go out and get some fresh air and exercize. Let's see how long it lasts. We are one of those families that can close the door on Friday night and not realize that we didn't even unlock cave until we leave for school Monday morning. Sad, sad. So first day of walkies (well bikies for Sophia). I just saw that Alanis Morisette lost a ton (i didnt even realize she gained all that weight till i saw the pix) just by changing her diet and walking 20 minutes a day.
picture for the proof...
(there was another ny revolutioner behind us, you could tell she never goes out either).

Max hates these houses, I wouldnt want to live there cuz they are run down, but I always think they always make for a nice picture.
