Close call!


It's been raining so much...Today I was proud of Orion he came down stairs all dressed by himself ready to get to school. Yes he even had underwear!!! WOOT! I was suprized I usually help him and he's definately not a morning person, like his mama!
Quinn is 6 months today, I took him down to Praia to get his pics done, and I had a close call getting a parking ticket, oops! I was so scared, They have strick laws here of where you can park, I've never messed up before, but it was a pain finding a parking spot today, so I got creative and parked were I could. A place I didnt think would be a problem, other cars were parked there, The cop was waiting for me when I got back to the car,the Police officer was not sure if I was American or Portuguese I told him I was American but spoke little Portuguese and he continued to speak in Portuguese to me I understood most of it, basically telling me, stay for 5 mintues and another guy from the station will come and talk to you. I waited and I was nervous, Quinn need to eat so I sat there in the Van door feeding him, Tickets here are expensive anywhere from $500-$1000 depending on the offense and I lucked out! The head officer guy came and just told me I couldnt park there and He would just give me a warning this time!! I was so glad! Then he told me to go...trust me then I booked it outta there before he change his mind...
** Also this week, We've been invaded by ANTS** They are crazy here! Ants season is offically here** I wolk up yesterday morning and there was a trail in our house through the door and around the corner, some on the coutch what they were looking for who knows, the food was all put up*** What a pain! They just came and sprayed last week cause we had them in the kitchen sink 2 weekends ago...I can't wait for Summer to get warm and kill them all off***

Our house in Oregon was always infested with ants. We tried bombing, spraying, traps, and going on ant-squashing-raids. But to no avail! I think we just lived on a huge ant hill. Good luck with your ants ... I hope they're only seasonal!
