Thursday happened

1. I miss Bath & Bodyworks. So much!! I need some Pumpkin Caramel Latte candles and and and 

Pumpkin Cupcake hand soaps and and and 

Pumpkin Pecan Waffles body lotion and and and.....

Aaahhhhhhhh

Pointless.

Moving on. 

2. I am homesick today. I listened to some Hungarian radio this morning and all the sudden I missed home verrry much. The changing leaves, the stores, the decorations, the fall-y atmosphere..

I LOVE Italy but I really miss the fall colors. 

3. Why is that that I can translate pages and pages from English to Italian, but when I am in the store and would be time to chat with the butcher (who is very nice by the way), I can't remember a single grammar rule, or basic expression or any of my fancy {well, not really} {but certainly useful} vocabulary {pork, ground beef, ground beef and pork mixture} that I spent llots of time memorizing...

Grrrr....

4. Italian prepositions are driving me crazy! Mi fanno impazzire!!!

5. I learnt the most beautiful Italian word today. Ready?

VENTICELLO

{pronounce: ven-ti-chel-lo}

Meaning: gentle breeze.

I'm in raptures with the Italian language.

6. Benjamin's teacher told me today {when I picked him up} that we need to work on teaching him how to hold the pencil right. So all afternoon and evening we were  practicing with him. 

He seemed to get the hang of it really fast.

{sidenote: cola flavored lollypops really do help in learning skills as such! :}

Check out what a cool picture he drew me {holding the pencil right}

We went for a walk before dinner

I keep forgetting that grocery shops stay closed after the afternoon siesta on Thursday nights

Loving this quote today:

Thank you Lord for everything! Thank you for husband and kid, for family and friends, for our health and life, calling and salvation, food and shelter. 

You are AMAZING!

I love you!

Goodnight!
