Happy Birthday, Sunny! We will miss you!

It was “Hawaiian Birthday Party”! Windy and Sunny made wonderful cake. Elena saw the red stuff coming out of volcano on the cake and said “Is that blood?” They all enjoyed the evening.

Perros (Dogs)

We have 8 dogs in our house! We had 3. Then public school that some of our kids are going offered us 2 puppies. They are German shepard.  Florence took one and Natali A. took the other. Then we were offered Poodles. There were 4 of them! Natalie gave the other one to her brother and got the poodle.  Florence gave one to our friend and got another one. Then Sunny got one and our friend wanted one, too. That is how we ended up with 8 dogs. But we are taking 1 to our friends place tomorrow. 3 of them are moving on to another place. So we will have 4 at the end. We have schedule for kids to go around the house hourly to pick up poops and such. Kids are having great fun with them!
