We were all up at 2am, not sure why. Tim played the guitar softly for awhile, I read to Leo and he went back to sleep, I gave Dylan permission to watch one episode of The Simpsons on our portable DVD player, and I am blogging! It could be the wind. Our first few nights here were very windy and the constant howling, together with the sound of waved breaking in the distance, was difficult to get used to. The last 2 or 3 days were very calm, but tonight the wind is back. Although I must say that one of the things I enjoy the most here is to sleep with the windows open and feel the night breeze, something I can never do at home because of our downtown location (bar patrons talking as they go to their cars in the middle of the night). Here it's the dogs that bark once in awhile, but I like that. They keep us safe at night.
There are two dogs here at the house, their names are Café and Tigre. Café is not trained and has no dog manners whatsoever, and the kids named him 'Psycho Dog'. He playfully jumped on Dylan one day and would not stop, and as Dylan got more agitated Café jumped even more. Dylan got really scared (he does not panic easily...) and Leo came to get me. Tigre doesn't have much more manners, but at least he understands Spanish. So as much as possible, we try to keep the dogs away from the boys.
Dylan and Leo had their heart set on watching the Grey Cup today. They made a list of things for their Grey Cup 'Party', and we went to town this morning. They each got a bottle of pop and a chocolate bar. They set-up the palapa (where we get our internet signal) with cushions on the chairs, and candles on the table. Everything was ready... except for the signal. There was problems with the satellite reception and after a couple of hours, they resigned themselves to accept the situation.
Okay, I think that sleep is coming... sleep tight !
