I'm sure you have noticed when you go to a mall, or a supermarket, lots of parents with their kids.
Some kids just look at you like you are a martian, some look at you like and smile at you, some just make you smile and some you just want them to press the mute button on them because they just don't want to shut up and they keep crying and crying and crying.
Well, this weekend was no exception but one, sometimes I just want to "sit back" and look at the world go pass by me, look at the people, the children, it's fun!
This weekend, we were at a supermarket and there was this kid sitting on the cart making sounds like a lion, so Tania and me passed by and he went ROOAAARRR!! To us, Tania laughed but I followed his lead and made a scary face and sound, the kid just started laughing SO hard that his mom just turned around to see who was making him laugh so hard.
It's those small moments when makes me smile and feel so happy, knowing that I still have that kid inside me that loves those simple moments on this rushed thing we call life.

El Dia de los Muertos
In October 2005 I posted something about this day.... the post is here
It really is sad how traditions are dieing, those sugar skulls that you see there? It's hard to find them now, at least on this part of the country, some were hand made and really delicious, well yeah if yo don't count all the sugar that's in there! LOL
The bread is excellent every year, we buy a big one at Costco and they know how to make it, no, not everyone can make this kind of bread, it has to have a certain spice that only grows this time of year, "agua de azhar" extract from an orange flower I beleive, now don't get me wrong, Costco does not use this kind of ingredient (and if they do, they need to put more in it since you need to taste the orange, it's still delicious though!) but when you use this ingredient... mmmmm delicious! And with a cup of hot chocolate Mmmm okay I will stop now hehe
Last night I saw a lot of kids dressed up in different costumes, asking for candy, and I have always wandered, if they really know the meaning of that? Why they do that? Why the costumes? (No I don't either) I hope parents tell them why they do what they do it... but I will investigate later... for another message :)
