Salsa and Snickerdoodles

On Tuesday and Thursday morning at Jumbo (Chilean grocery store) they host a salsa class in the parking lot. My mom and I decided to go and learn some salsa. Everyone took it very seriously... many people were warming up before class. My favorite part? They use grocery carts to block off the aerobic area.

Notice my cute mom on the left...











After the second song and the twirls started we got the giggles and had to leave.

Tonight Lucas was ready for bed, but it wasn't bedtime yet. Which means we had an hour to entertain... Usually I would put on a movie, but we had already watched Bambi, Baby Einstein, and Winnie the Pooh... Yikes! So what did we do?

Get a pitcher of course!
























Lucas put all his toys in it, took them out, and then ran around with it on his face. Perfect! It worked like a charm.

My mom makes the absolute best snickerdoodles, ever. I have made them hundreds of times and they never taste the same. I ate three dough balls and three cookies, and I'm pretty sure I'll eat three more before the night is over. Yum!






On a side note my mom told me the funniest story tonight. All the mission presidents wives in Chile are good friends. They all reminisce about funny things that happen in Chile. One particular mission wife in the Southern mission wanted to go to a spa to get her legs waxed. She went to a nice spa at a hotel and afterwards she thought to herself, "they did a good job"... She sat up on the table and looked at the materials they were using to wax. There was a bowl full of used waxed, filled with hair from everyone the spa had waxed. They just reuse the same wax over and over again. Can you say gag me with a spoon?? I'm pretty sure I would soak my legs in bleach if that happened to me.

1.) Salsa class in a grocery store parking lot? Please sign me up.

2.) You're making me hungry with all this snicker doodle talk.

3.) I dry heaved a little with the used wax story, but perhaps left over hair is the trick to smooth legs. Oh, I just dry heaved again. Seriously, that is beyond grody.
