Once a week, Lauren has dance class at this location. She absolutely loves it. Katherine always wants to come along because while we wait there is a nice green area for kids to play. Well, last week Katherine decided to bring our Frisbee to play with. It was so funny. The kids there had never seen a Frisbee and got so excited when they found out that we would "let " them play, too. I intended on all the kids standing around throwing it to each other, but the local kids all lined up to have a turn throwing it to Katherine. So Katherine was very happy that she got a turn every time :)
At the same place, a lady brought out her pet ducks and them go. They were running everywhere when she wanted to catch them again. Katherine got one :)
Not a moment too soon!! The kids have been working together on a quilt for their new brother. They finally finished it! I am so proud of the work they did! They all worked together and all had turns using the sewing machine. It's not "perfect", but it's absolutely PERFECT. It turned out smaller than they were hoping, but it will work just fine. We can always make him another one that is bigger later. They can't wait for him to get here!
This is the look of shock, joy, excitement, and disbelief all rolled up in one. We surprised the kids with a kitten (they have been wanting one for awhile) They all had to sit on the couch with their eyes closed. Lets just say the cat has not been put down much ;) They named him Charlie, and he is the sweetest thing ever.
Lauren's turn :)
Regan's turn :)
Mommy gets a turn, too :)
Benjamin's turn :)
I have to say, the cat seems to really love Katherine though...or maybe it's the other way around.
Jonathan took me out on a date this week. I had such a good time. We found a new restaurant run by a foreigner. It was so good to taste some western food again, especially that Dr. Pepper in the background.
After dinner, we went to see the newest landmark of our city, the big ferris wheel on top of a building.
This was one of the views from the the ferris wheel. It was neat to see our city at night from up high.
I also enjoyed walking along the river at night.
I was looking for the cat and found him...he was comfortably sleeping between the girls.
I still need to get a picture of all my kids together in uniform, but here is one of the two little girls in class. They are too cute in there with all those boys. The teacher said that my girls say their "huh!" better than anyone in the class. haha!
It's a little difficult to fly a kite when there is no wind and you only have a short string, but it's amazing how much fun it can be if you keep running fast enough :)
Proof that kids can wear anyone out ;)
