I keep meaning to note this and forgetting, at last i have remembered. After over 18 hours of travel when we finally arrived to our hotel in Rome, Will ran downstairs to get some Wifi info and I started drying my hair while the girls were coloring on the table in the hotel.

In the middle of drying my hair Sophie said, “Look Momma I made tattoos on Sabsy”. I turned around and Sabs entire belly was covered in marker tattoos. Sophie drew two big circles around Sabs little boobs to make eyeballs and then used her belly button as the nose and made a mouth under it. I laughed and then went to wash off Sabs belly. Nothing came off. Not even a bit.

I went over to see where Sophie got a marker from and of course she found the only permanent marker in a container full of markers that the hotel left for them. Sabs had a tattooed belly for 1/2 our trip in Italy. I have to look back to see if i took any pics or if you can see it in any future pics. I laughed every time i got her dressed in the morning. Each day Sophie would say, Hey look i think it is getting lighter. LOL. Sabs loved the artwork of course. Eyeball bubas! Thankful she chose Sabs belly and not the hotel walls/furniture.

We finally got dumped on last week with the first rainy season worthy rain. You could hear the neighbors and our family all shouting as soon as the rain started falling. It is CR change of seasons, and a beautiful change it is. Showering everything green, beautiful sunsets, rainbows. and some cooler temps. The double rainbow was out in the middle of the rain and I didnt get to see it in person but a bunch of friends in town all posted pics so i put one below. We were too busy dancing in the rain and playing music inside. Pooks ran downstairs and danced her little butt off until she was soaking wet.

Today we finally all made it to the mango trees together. On the way we picked up some of Sophie’s favorite pizza which we were going to eat at the beach but Sabs ended up falling asleep in the car, and Will had to do a business call so he needed cell service (without the sounds of waves crashing behind him) so we drove up to the mountains and Pooks and I hung out while she ate hers (and everyone else’s) pizza. After Dada’s call Sabs woke up and we headed over to pick some mangoes!!

Look who else is creeping on some pizza

On or way we spotted this little fella in the middle of the road. We pulled over, picked him up, said our hellos, and helped him over to the other side.

Hello Mango Season!
