#TBT Watch out world- Rinquincaya turned 4! May 2012

HolaHolaHola Beautifuls!

Now a preteen about to hit PUBERTY ::shudder:: . 

Let us go back to easier times...

My youngest grandson, Rinquincaya celebrated his 4th birthday on Sunday.  Now before you start with the "awwwwsss" please remember who we're talking about.  Here's a quick reminder in case you've forgotten. 

Babushka had gotten him  the party fixins for a Disney's Cars theme but when they went to the store for the final things he saw this.

Goodbye Cars.

Felizmente there's Feibu and all the invites were sent electronically, because really-

who doesn't do Feibu?

; )

So now the dash began.  Four days before the party, last minute preps.  Que Que??  Why wasn't this planned/done months before?  JU SO FONII!!!  Where's the fun in that? 

MM and DIL ran around for decorations, cake, drinks, beach toys-because no self respecting pirate can appear sans shovels for treasure digging, and all the other craziness parties bring.  All this after 7 pm when my son arrived from work because his truck had decided to quit and they were now a one car familia.  Oh si, fun.

On the day of the party the forcast was 30% chance of rain, which was a heck of a lot better than the 60% forecast we had during the week.  Optimistic and sleepy, MM, La Tata and BB  packed up the car and headed out the door to be the first ones at the beach to get good tables (read that tables under shade).  It was 9 a.m.- on a Sunday.  Oh si, fun.

Meanwhile DIL's brother picked her and the boys up and helped with some last second shopping and her sister picked up the pizza.  Mil Gracias guys, there's no way it could have been done without your help.

And now the party begins-

Goody bag holder- $1

Gracias Target

Cake

Publix

 Piñata-

Party City

 

             

Note about the above. 

As you can see, this was a Cuban style piñata with strings to pull, however,

 being the multi cultural mecca Miami, and being my son's son, the bat was a must.

Wouldn't be a decent party without it.

The Pirate Family

And it was most definitely a decent party. 

Oh Si Fun!!!

Matter of fact, when BB asked Rinquincaya if he had enjoyed himself he said

"It was the bestest party EVER."

and then he said something that you have to realize, please keep in mind,

 his age, his environment, but most importantly his genes. 

 Mi adorado Rinquincaya said (I'm so proud), he said,

 I AARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH  HAPPY.

And I aarrrrrrrggghhh  too.



Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S.

It's 2020 and he's 12!  
That laser focused attitude and attention has served him well. Now an honor student and champion cheerleader Rinquincaya is following his dreams and passion. 
We arrrgghh feliz.

Noches de Diseño 2- A Pre Hispanicize Event

HolaHolaHola My Beautifuls!! Gracias for joining me for part 2 of Sherwin Williams' Noches de Diseño. And porsea- just in case you didn't read the first one, aqui lo tienes, here it is.  It was good verdad?  Ok, Continuing.

After the art galleries and street murals we were all inspired by the colors and different styles we saw, and quite a few of us had multi ideas on how we would bring some of this into our own lives. Don't know who put this event together, but they know their stuff! They organically tied this in to a new store opening, where the amicable owner/manager Angelo helped us find the materials we needed for our creations. Did you know Babushka used to be a faux painter?  Oh si My Beautifuls, I was in heaven!  Y ahora that Sweetie and I are consolidating living spaces and remodeling our home??  Por fa, this was second only to café y chocolate!

Grand Opening of Miami Store

2615 Biscayne Blvd.

They showed us various cool apps available to make your world exactamente how you want it.

  Here's the page so you can choose your favorite color-based on your life's hues. 

And a video peek because BB thinks it's so cool.

Buenisimo right?!?!?

And you know what else, actually who(m) else is cool and buenisima??

Sonia Velasquez 

Known as "la periodista filantropica"-"the philanthropic journalist", she's the host of Extreme Makeover Home Edition Latin America.  Bringing over 13 years of experience in the Hispanic TV Market, she's a celebrity, fashion setter, commentator, tv show host and a natural choice for a guest spot w/the Sherwin Williams team.  And natural is the perfect adjective for this lovely lady.  Not only does she inspire others to overcome their perceived handicaps, she comes across as totally sincere and real when you speak to her; truly "plain folk", which in BB's eyes makes her a Perla. Having lost her eye at the age of two, she didn't let anyone stop her from her dreams and now is helping many acheive their dreams.  Sonia exemplifies how we choose the colors of our lives and again, good job @SWPintura group for seeing the match in this. Ok si, I have total admiration for this Bella who exudes intelligence, self-reliance, and inner strength - not to mention the BEST first name ever!!  

; )

At this point it was getting late, but the organizers of the night still had wonderful plans for us.  Les digo, I'm a tellin' ya, the Sherwin Williams team definitely knows how to throw a party!  Y los "goody bags"? The goody bags proved to Babushka that they know Latinas well and I will use and enjoy the contents for years to come.  But that reveal will be in the next and final post of the series.  Quee??  JU SO FONII!!! Oh My Beautifuls, you should know by now BB savors each adventure, the story it brings, and my dances with you.  Hasta la proxima-

Babushka Besos a todos.  Cuidensen.

P.S.  As previously stated: The opinions expressed here are from the corazon and all BB's.  No expectation of posts or any social media promoting was stressed by the sponsor.  Babushka received no monetary compensation- though, como siempre, I'm always open to negotiations.  ; )
