Balloon Fight and a Rain Shower

My daughter was volunteering  for the set up of the vacation Bible school in her school on the day of her birthday so  her little brother wanted to surprise her  with water in balloons so they could have a  water balloon fight when she arrives.  He even learned  how to  tie the balloons himself, that's how bad he really wanted to do something special for her Ate.  

I told him to use the wheelbarrow to put all the filled balloons so the  dogs  won't bust them.  

They had so much fun.  They  asked me to join in but I told them that I will just do the documentation.  They told me to  use  the stand for the camera but I didn't want the camera to get wet .  That was actually my excuse  lol.  The last time we had a balloon fight, I was the main target ha!

Anyway, towards the end of their balloon fight, the rain started coming down.  That was an extra  bonus because  they seldom play in the rain due to lightning and thunderstorm that comes with it most of the times.  This time it was only raining so it was safe for them to  play in the rain.

I told them that when I was a kid, we  always played in the rain every chance we get and it was a lot of fun!

The balloons that they used is not really the water balloons you normally used but a regular  baloons that you blow that's why they were huge.  My son said that the regular balloons  carry more water and it is more fun because you get wet right away when you get blasted.  The issue of it was that, it was hard throwing it  far.  Nevertheless, they had so much fun.

I am glad that my son initiated this  activity, it really made my daughter's day when she came home from school,

Even our dogs took part in chasing them but then ran away when  they got splashed with the water lol.

Those balloons are bigger than their heads lol.  I think they were filled with more than a gallon each.

As a birthday present, EJ let  her  Ate throw a balloon on him without  him running away.

Here us the video I managed to  record of them  throwing those big balloons at each other.  

Dora the Explorer

My kids are no longer  interested in Dora but one day out of boredom, my daughter  drew this.

I remember those times when they were still  into watching the Dora show.    I would hear the "Do-do-do-do-Dora, Do-do-do-do-do-Dora... Dora, Dora, the Explorer..." song lol.

Anyway, I find it interesting that  even if she doesn't watch the show anymore,   Dora's image still lingers in her mind.  These two are growing up so fast.  I wish I can hold on to their innocence lol.

Spring Fashion According to the Little MIss

Miss Burrito is very interested in fashion designing, cooking, interior designing, reading, photography,  and most of all dressing up and posing in front of the camera.  Most of the time, she picks what she wears, when I disagree, she has a long a explanation why she chooses  a specific set of outfits and I tell you, she always wins with her arguments as I don't know much  about fashion anyway.  The photos below is her pick of celebrating Spring.  I told her that  I thought,  you are suppose to wear something bright like green and yellow representing  the  plants and flowers.  She said that she picks  something with red and black because it is still chilly outside and you need a color that could warm you up.  Make sense?  I was laughing with the explanation lol. 

Anyhow, the photos  of the Burritos below were taken  last week right after they got off from school and they wanted to stay at our porch for a while.  I took the opportunity to  take some photos of them while they were having fun.

 Miss Burrito is very strong, she can carry her brother  without a problem.

On another note, this is the 100th post for Color Connection and although I had fun hosting it, I have to  end it through this post.  I have been been busy with my  children's school activities that my time is very limited to do all the things I need to do online.  It is for this reason that, this will be the last po]st for the meme,.  I thank you all so much for  joining and sharing your colorful world with us every week.  If anyone would like to host this meme, you are more than welcome to continue it.  Again, thank you so much!

Sibling Rivalry

Sibling rivalry is very common. My daughter was only nine months old when I got pregnant again. She got used to being our everything so when our son was born, she wasn't very happy. She was only 18 months old and it was very hard for her to accept that she had a competition to our attention.

For the most parts, she was very good to her brother but there were times that she would pinch him or bite him when she wanted attention.

It was hard for me too especially that  my family was far away, I felt like I  had twins lol.

Now that they are  bigger, sibling rivalry still exist.  It's a constant battle  that I have to deal with from time to time.

Time flies and I am glad that I got to  enjoy  motherhood in full at home.

Undeniably Sweet

These burritos constantly picks on each other but at the end of the day, they are undeniably sweet. Whenever they can't sleep from their own beds, they sleep together and then hubby and I would just separate them before we go to bed.

Have a great week everyone.
