Day trip

I am so, so, so proud of everyone. We had an amazingly busy and fun day and Carlitos did spectacular!!.

First we all got up (some earlier than others) and started getting ready to go to the snow!!. We got all their clothe right and snacks. Everyone was really excited. So we left. The kids were entertain in the car and doing very well. After an hour into the trip the kids asked for snacks. Of course we forgot them!, but they did not make a big deal. The trip was about 3 hours total.

They were so excited to be able to play in the snow. We get to the city and there wasn't a lot of snow on the ground. So we started looking for any "spot" we could use. In the meantime Carlitos is doing great and very patient with everything. Finally there it was, a beautiful space with snow. We got out of the car, it was very cold! open the back door and we look for the bag with all the snow stuff (hats, gloves, socks...) oh no! we can't find it. We could not believe such luck. We left that too next to the snacks (my guess). I thought Carlitos was going to get super upset since he has been looking forward this trip for a while and he wanted a snow fight!!. But he didn't, he was content with dad's gloves and had a lot of fun.

Even with all the things gong against the event Carlitos was very flexible and super obedient. It was amazing. After the snow play time we went to an Italian restaurant in the city. They had pizza and all bunch of stuff, the kids did great and I don't remember Carlitos behaving so well in a restaurant, it was great.

After that we got in the car again and went to another city about 1 1/2 hours away. We took the scenic route and the kids loved it. Woods, river, snow, rocks...beautiful!. We got there and went to tons of stores to look around and to a chocolate factory (they loved that!). Carlitos was super helpful with his sisters and with us. He had a fun time.

In the way back all of them were dead tired. He did good, eventually fell sleep in the car. At home I woke them all and gave them dinner. After dinner I asked who wanted to help me clean up the house a little bit and the girls ran for their lives (of course) but he told me he wanted to stay with me and help. I gave him a bunch of stuff to do and he did it very well and with a smile on his face. So cute!.

After that he went to bed. I sneaked in and gave him a "special" coupon for his help to be redeemed whenever he wanted (extra treat). The day could not have been better.
