My green-belly gaúchos

Our kids were born in Santa Catarina, which makes them, green bellies. Don´t ask me why, I just know that whoever is born in this state is called that. However, they have many more memories of Camaquã! Since September is the month of the gaúcho, all the schools in town make a big deal of dressing up. When you are wearing a typical gaúcho outfit, they say you are "pilchado". So here are my green-belly pilchado kids.

Eric´s 5th birthday party

I know I´m late on posting these...long past the time...but at least you get to see some pictures. The ones of his pirate toys was his idea to take, as well as with the cake...I love it how Eric gets INTO his parties, really involved in the details...

Tholl in Town

We had a unique experience one night a couple of months ago. An acrobatic circus-type group came to Camaquã..each ticket was exchanged for 2 kilos of non-perishable foods....and we had about a 90-minute Tholl show. The kids absolutely loved it!

Emily´s ballet experience

For about 5 months Emily did ballet classes here in town. She loved it at first, but after awhile lost her motivation. I would´ve loved for her to stick with it, but this was supposed to be a fun activity, and once it wasn´t fun anymore, it lost it´s reason for happening...but she looked so cute in her ballet outfit that I had to register it here in my blog.
