What would we do without weekends? I think we would either walk around like zombies or blow up like let-go balloons and be hurtling around in space. I NEED weekends. Don’t you? It is a good time to reconnect with our own kids and with the dorm kids.
Garth and I have found out that if we want to plan something with the whole hostel we need to set it up in advance and write it down for everyone to see. That is what we did for our “dorm date” on Saturday. We try to carefully stay in the budget so every once in awhile we can splurge. And we did by ordering some pizzas from Papa Ron’s. (They were yummy!) Then we took the kids up to the Multi Purpose room and watched “Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs” while we celebrated with cake and ice cream for Josiah’s 12th birthday. It was a good time of bonding and togetherness.
Today I took the girls on a date down to the mall to shop. That usually means Sophie and I watch Emma try on shoes! That girl is amazing when it comes to shoes. She is infatuated! While Soph and I were waiting we took pictures of some more funny Indonesian/English shirts.
All the girls bought was a new Batman outfit (with cape) for Cale and a new shirt for Wyatt. No shoes! Yipee!! Before we went to the store I straightened Sophie’s hair. (She, of course, wants her hair straight. Emma wants hers curly.) On our walk to the mall we stopped at a little push cart and bought ice cream cones for the kids. 10 cents a cone! Nice huh?
Love you
Rachel

Sophie looks cute with her hair straightened, but I like it curly SO much better. Tell her that =]
