This week we got a care package from our small group in Tennessee. The kids were so excited to see what things from America were in the box! A big Thanks to everyone!!
They were each surprised with a present from each of their friends.
And Jonathan got a new cookbook! He loves new ideas! :) It's funny because he actually has a recipe in this book.
I had one little one thrilled over some hair clips, and Benjamin licking his lips in the corner over a box of raisinettes. He was a good boy and shared, although he did try to make a profit first. He tried to sell them off by the piece....haha :) He's all the time trying to come up with way s to earn/make money.
This is one little character that we don't see around here. I have actually seen it on tv a couple time, but it is just a little strange because it is dubbed over in the local language, but the songs remain in English/Spanish so it's a little strange. Katherine was so excited about this....if you cannot tell by this huge grin.
Regan got a new shirt...
...and Lauren a little apron to help cook.
It was a little difficult to eat that night because I could not get them out of the books that they received. We were literally eating at the table when I took this picture. I think Benjamin's favorite was this shark book.
Even Lauren got in on the book reading action :) She was so excited that she got her very own "Jack and Annie" book. Regan had started reading some last year at her international school and got all the kids hooked. Ayi fed Lauren while she "read".
The next best thing that has happened this week is that the weather has finally broken. It has felt WONDERFUL the past couple of days. The low has gotten as low as 75 and the highs have been 88-90. I know that may sound hot still, but it feels great! The humidity is so low and we have been enjoying our mountain view.
Lauren got hold of the whiteboard markers that I use in homeschool. She drew a family picture. Daddy and Benjamin are the blue ones on the left. Mommy is the big red one. Lauren is the small red one. The other two small ones are Regan and Katherine. (Notice how we all have curly hair)
