party/rain/english lessons/im in love.

Like my title? haha so much has been goin on i didnt know what to call this post....anyway! Carlo he turned two this week so we had a birthday party for him so everyone was down on the front porch and at first when luisa asked me to go down there i was kinda bummed. It was a saturday so i was hoping i could just do whatever i wanted, i was mad at the mailman for losing my letter and its been raining 3 days straight. Im talking STRAIGHT! non-stop. it literally hasnt stopped for one minute so i was just in a weird mood just wanted to go to sleep and wake up to a new day ya know? But im so glad she asked me to cuz it just turned my little frown upside down! :) There was probably 12 little kids but 9 of them that wouldnt leave my side. They are all so stinkin cute and love me. They ask luisa how to say something easy in english and then they will come say it to me all proud or they will just talk to me in italian anyways cuz i can kinda pick up what theyre saying so i'll get what they are asking me for and one of the little girls went up to luisa and said *in italian* "i dont get it. Does she not like to talk because when i talk to her she knows what i say but she says she cant speak italian." Hahaa so these little kids were confused and didnt realize that its so much harder to speak it then it is to understand it! So throughout the party all of them fought over who gets to sit on my lap and hold my hands and i made the mistake of spinning around one of the girls and oh my lanta talk about a mob. All these little kids are jumping at me goin off in italian how its their turn they want spun but i didnt know what to say to them for them to understand that i will spin each of them once but they have to take turns and sit down. It took forever but they finally got it figured out and i had to Spin 9 of them....talk a bout dizzy. BUT then they were just too cute begging and i had to do them all one more time. Its safe to say i was exhausted last night. But its okay cuz i have 9 little friends now...yayy :)

Sorry im not sorry for not getting ready here haha my great grandma pearl told me "ayrica...make yourself as unatractive as you possibly can when you're over there" She's scared some guys are gunna creep on me haha! So really im just obeying my favorite 93 year old :) but sometimes i do get ready haha i have to represent america over here duh ;) But obviously today was a no hair/make up type day but that is normal for some italians...either that or extreme hooker haha. Oh and mom thanks for naming me ayrica....everyone laughs and goes ohhh ay-ree-kah from a-may-ree-kah! its like kindergarten all over again ( i used to get called ayrica america).

  This is Sofia and she is the oldest. She was so funny they all love sticking out their tongues so i got an m&m and made mine blue and stuck it at her and she basically fell in love with me after that. She never left my side the whole night and kept running back and forth getting more m&m's for us haha.

 This is Benedicta and i am obsessed with her. She reminds me so much of lydia!!! I always tell her "Benny benny boo booo booo (yes off of how to loose a guy in 10 days) you are so cah-uteeee can i have you?!" I had luisa translate for me once so she knows what i say everytime i say it  now and she just smiles and giggles. Shes a cutie for sure.

 All the kiddos around the cake...Carlo was so stinkin cute trying to blow them out and when his mom took the cake to cut it up, leone thought she was taking it away and he started crying and screaming "noooooo noooo tortaaa nooooooo (cake)!"

 Filippo! <3 this little boy has my heart haha he is so cute! He looks like the skinny little kid off of The Little Giants exactly! The one that goes "dont you be talkin bout my momma!!! i want to pump..YOU up!" My family at least knows who im talking about.

 Filippo & Camilla

 "1...2...3...4...5.....6?!" This is how they ask me to play hide-n-seek haah sure why not, i love that game :)

 Ludovica-she just learned how to ride her bike without training wheels and i helped her so she trust me now...at first she was kinda shy but now she is my little bud too.

 Benny& Ludo

 Filippo & Benny

 I tried to get a pic of all the kids around me...gosh they were mobbin for me to spin them around it was soooo loud i took a video but it wont upload :(

 

So thats the party! Now....my favorite Italian song right now....look up Francesca Michielin Sola!! I LOVE it. She is only 16 or 17 and won xfactor, idk why i love it so much cuz i dont even know what it says really, just certain parts but i will sing it all day(the parts i know of course) haha but i am determined to learn the whole thing. I can honestly say i've been listening to it on repeat the whole time making this post....

 

English/Italian Lessons

I got invited to an english class to help them out so its really fun cuz they are all so nice to me and want to help me with italian so i really hope it works out. Its hard tho cuz its late at night and i am always so tired but its fun. I have to talk so slow to them i feel like an idiot and they all thought i had a thing with this guy elson cuz he picked me up for the lesson and he is 24 but i quickly put that little rumor to rest haha. To be honest i was scared cuz right before elson picked me up i found out he was from albania and off of the movie taken it says the sex slave trade thing is organized in albania and comes to italy so inside i freaked for a minute but nah they are all super nice so no worries!!

Love

Yes, its official, i love Leone. He is the "sour patch kid" first hes sour..then hes sweet. hahaa just cuz he cries so much but thats not his fault his parents didnt/dont ever punish him so he knows no difference and when hes with just me hes an angel. And i actually said i love you to him and then realized oh my goshhhh ayrica you said it! So yeah. He looked at my phone screensaver which is a picture of TJ and he goes "Aw-caw baccio?" then made me kiss the phone and then he took it and kissed him as well hahaaha little boy is so cute. Its my favorite when his parents are home and im off duty so im just chillin but he still wants to know where i am so i'll hear this little "a-caw.....a-caw dove sei?" So i'll yell back at him and when he finds me he'll just get all excited and say "ohhh hiii a-caw hi! a-caw hi hi!" over and over while he hugs my legs it melts my heart.  I asked him the other day "Leone...america...you want to come to a-may-ree-kah with me?!" (Like off of Rush hour) haha he yelled Si so its official, im bringing him home with me. Oh also there is another boy i saw at school and he is so cute ( hes maybe 5 years old so im allowed to say this) haha probably the cutest little kid i have ever seen in my life.

 HIS IDEA!!we took a smiling picture first and then he goes...baccio baccio...what a little man.

 Leone's screaming cheese from behind his bink haha

hahaha he was so intent watching tv and my face reminds me of the face krista always does so i thought it was funny.

bahahah Leone and Camilla are both afraid of going number two...weird. So they are in the tub and he starts screaming caw caw!! caw caw!! and so we didnt have time to get his little toilet or put a diaper on him so i just grabbed him out and sat him on the toilet...he cried the whole time, he hats the toilet. And luisa took a pic cuz she thought it was funny...which it was :)
