Weekend

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a great weekend.

Ours was full of celebration as my daughter graduated from fifth grade.

Right after the ceremony on Thursday our generous friend invited the whole class for lunch at her restaurant, Cafe Frida at the Upper West Side. 

And Saturday other parents threw a huge graduation party, again for the whole class and their families.

A bounce castle for the kids... The younger siblings enjoyed this so much!

A huge cake that weighted at least 25 pounds.  It was delicious!

Oh, and this is me :)

We all had so much fan and are grateful for this great community we have.  So sad to see the kids split apart as they go to different schools but we have such a wonderful group, both of kids and parents that I'm sure we'll keep in touch and still do things together in the up coming years.

Hope you have a great week!  

Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone!  Hope you are enjoying your weekend!

Are you into the Oscars mood yet?  I always look forward to it.  The red carpet, the dresses, the parties and of course the winners!

What's your favorite movie this year?  Unfortunately I haven't seen any of the nominees.  I have a date with my husband tonight and we'll watch Argo.  At home though, we get indoor dates, does that count??

I have special feelings for the movie NO, which is in the foreign language category.  It represents my country, it's part of our history and I think it is beautifully made.  And I also love Gael Garcia-Bernal, who happens to be Mexican but plays a Chilean man who was exiled in Mexico for many years.  Once again he doesn't disappoint.  Oh, is he good!  

If you would like to learn a little more about NO, you can see the trailer here.

GOOD LUCK!

Thanks for reading and have a beautiful weekend!
