BLACK AND BLUE

I dropped the kids off at school on Wednesday and ran home to shower and help Tim because the movers were bringing the rest of our things. I got a call from the school just a few minutes after I got home and they said Kyle had a little incident at school and hurt his eyebrow and I need to come get him. I was still in my pajamas, but i quickly ran back to school to pick him up. One look at him and I knew this was going to be a trip to the hospital. Him and another boy had been playing cops and robbers before school started and they bumped heads rather hard. Kyle was so brave. The nurse from school went with us to the hospital to help me since my Portuguese is not so good.
After four stitches and quite the shiner. He has been back to his old self. He is so glad to finally have his bike here and I had trouble keeping him still. Tyler and him have built a ramp and have been having a blast!

FESTA JUNINA
June festivals, the Feast of St. John of the popular saints or feasts are celebrations that take place in several countries historically linked to the pagan festival of the summer solstice, which was celebrated on June 24, according to the Julian calendar and Christianized the Middle Ages as "the feast of St. John."

We have had lots of fun this month celebrating with friends.

Games, Carnival, and lots of strange and yummy foods!

I've said it before and I'll say it again... Brazilians know how to have a good time!!

Feels like Christmas!

We have been in Brazil for almost 5 months and finally our air shipment arrived. A little Rolley, Polley man knocked on my door with the good news, but said we needed to figure out how to unload his truck ourselves. WHAT??? Did he think we own a fork lift? There were two pallets with boxes weighing about 350 lbs. each. I was determined to get that stuff so Tim made a phone call from work and sure enough we had 3 great friend ready to help.


I've never been so happy to see my kitchen such a disaster!!!

The kids were great helpers and hopefully we will have all this stuff organized soon!
Tim is so crazy at work so he missed all the drama, but it seems like a daily thing around here so there will be more to share I'm sure of it.

Now if the boat will arrive we will officially live here! Yikes, it's kind of been like a on going trip, but reality is starting to sink in. I will be so happy to sleep in my own bed though. The rental furniture has been so not comfortable and both Tim and I are feeling it!

frango inteiro!

I wish I had a picture for this post, but i didn't dare. I asked the maid to make a roasted chicken for dinner tonight. She asked if I meant "frango inteiro"? I said yes! A little later i walked into the kitchen and their were chicken parts on the counter. She proceeded to smash them up and add them to a mixture I can only describe as sand like. It is called Farofa. Then, she stuffed the bird with it! Yuck! I guess fango interio means the WHOLE chicken. In her defense the chicken was great, but no one tried the stuffing! I kept thinking if only Grandpa Tim were here to appreciate this!
