remember my addiction......to caterpillars

Just a quick update on our buggy friends

we have 8 cocoons and 4 getting ready

I also found this great website that can help identify

caterpillars roaming around the yard

hey.....if you cant fight it...... run with it

so.....you want to be a Tico

you will need really good food

don't forget the black beans and rice

these are necessary to make any Costa Rican meal complete

**she couldn't understand why the boyz got moostashes & she didn't, so she got a little birthmark to satisfy**

***his stash started out a little hitleresque**no prob we just made it bigger*** we had to wash it off shortly after the photo's...he was trying to eat it***

well you will need some facial hair

real or painted--either works

hey Pura Vida ya know

but mostly you will need to have a good time

yup

PURA VIDA

Emeline just about got kicked out of nursery......apparently she was hitting the other children then immediately following the blow with "I sorry", over and over again

she's got another 2 years in the big N hope she can manage not to be expelled

Got any delinquent kidz ?

Spill it !

SACK's ON

my grandpa used to play
this
game....he called it sacks on
he would yell
"sack's on"
then all the kids would jump on
next he would shake them all off
well this has definitely been handed down
my brood loves this game
doesn't Angelo look like he is having the time of his life?

****note from the author****
my mother's friend took a picture she had of her father in a very similar position to the one above and created a painting of it
it is exquisite and has been hanging above the piano in our home for as long as I can remember

*****note from the author--part 2******
no Babies were hurt during the filming/ "the boss" was simply added for the picture

FACINATING...FACINATION....um...consumed
