Hello, we are expats and prefer to communicate in English, although we understand Spanish. Our 13 year old son enjoys spending time quietly by himself in his room, while our 8 year old daughter is very talkative and full of energy. During the weekdays, you''ll need to pick them up from school(it''s about a 10 minute drive), bring them home, and prepare a snack for them. The snacks will mostly be simple, but will require some light preparation and cook.
