be a better sister

This travel is a dream we had in the last two years. It was great to spend these 6 days having fun with them.
Now I just have to keep reserving some time to spend with them, even they are studying a lot and I have a billion things to do at the same time.

To close this goal well, I’ll travel to Aracaju to visit a friend and to visit my older brother and her daughter too =)

We are watching the second season together every Friday afternoon.
Great time with my kids! =)

We used to go a lot to movies when they are children. My mother didn’t like to go and they were so little, so it was the funniest to-do in life at this time :D Now they are already teenagers, they like to go with their friends. So I was so happy when they invited me last Saturday to watch Shrek. We watched all the movied together, so it was OUR program :D We bought a lot of candies and chocolates in a store and enjoyed a lot :D

It was Father’s Day yesterday and I spent the day at beach house with my father, my boyfriend and my 2 little brothers, all my closest boys in family (except for my grandfather, that was with my mother, my uncle, my grandma and some cousins).
It was a great day. There was a time I didn’t spend some hours talking to my father, listening to his stories. It was great to have my boyfriend with me, as my father always feel closer to my life when he shows up. And I could spent the afternoon playing games with my brothers and 2 neighboors and we had some laugh moments. I miss a lot have more time like this with them, as I’m always busy and now they are too. But it is great to see we always have a nice time and make plans together.

After some time, I turned the year with my little brothers. I was with them and our mother in our beach house. We didn’t make a party, just a simple dinner. In the last minutes of 2008, we and my boyfriend went to the beach to the the fireworks. We sleep early, but it was good to spend more time at the beach yesterday. I think I’ll go back to there in the weekend to more funny moments as these ones.

So now they are 15 years old. I fell like as I’m older with this fact. They are almost men and my life is so adulty lately. I always dreamed about the 15 y.o. party I’d do for them, but, with the final exams at college and the job’s craziness, it was impossible. I spent all the day out of home working and we just met at night. We watched a movie together: “Darjeeling Limited” was perfect to the situation, it is about 3 brothers in a trip. Yesterday we went to the bowling and it was their first time there. We had a great time.
As next year I won’t be working in december (to give more attention to my final paper at college), I hope I can plan a better celebration to a such special day.
Our father will help to pay a trip to us in July vacations as their birthday gift. Probably our middle brother (21yo) will join us too. It will the our “Sao Paolo Limited” :D

Last week, we went to Japanese Festival with our mother. They loved watch all the dance presentations and eat a lot of different foods, some of them they haven’t heard about.

My little brothers have never gone to the street in the holiday to see the Parade, so my father and I went with them. Ok, most of the time are militar groups (my father loved to remember his time in the Army), but it’s good to watch too. We could know about so many things in our country we didn’t know before. The funniest time was in schools groups and bands.
And after there, we went to have lunch in a chinese place. It was a lovely holiday! :)

Last week, in the begginning of the holidays, my two youngest brother and I went to the shopping malls. We watched “Vantage Point”, have some laughs, eat delicious food and make our Easter shops. And we decided to buy normal chocolates not eggs nest year – eggs are so expensive. We think children care about it, and we only want to eat chocolate in any form :P

Well, my two little brothers (they are twins) will change their school this year. I think it’s a horrible experience in this age even when you find good friends in the new place. They are from a catholic school and are going to one that is more liberal, but with better structure. Well, in a liberal school, the things are so different, the people too. Maybe in a worst way. I know that coz I did the same school change, but in the beginning of high school, not one year earlier like they are. And it worry me more, coz they are younger than I was when I did it and to me it was very confusing.

Our parents don’t talk with us about this kind of things and I missed it when I was a teenager (and I still missing it until now). I feel as I HAVE to do it for them. So, I tried to do the boring work of talking about wrong people, sex, drugs, study hard, the future and all this kind of stuff. The extra problem is that they are two and this cause some conflicts like they are always searching some kind of individuality even when they need to do wrong things to it.
