Our week started out slow but towards the end we were busy,
busy! At the beginning of the week Michael had his back to school/meet the
teacher night. He really enjoyed meeting the parents of his students. He made a
comment say, “All my student’s parents showed up!” This is the first time in
his ten years of teaching that this has ever happened! And while he was busy
with work the girls and I decided to have dinner on the beach. We went to the
Surf House picked up dinner and made our way to the beach. They loved it, just
sitting out there watching the water. But they really loved playing in the
sand. They made sand angels, dug in the sand and didn’t want to go home even
though it was really dark outside. Here are some pictures of them playing and
having a good time!
On Tuesday the girls and I had to go to the clinic for our
blood check from the previous week. Which tuned out that we really didn’t need
to go. But since we were there it showed that I wasn’t immune to hepatitis B and
that if I wanted I could start the shots like Michael did. So, I decided that
it wouldn’t hurt since we do plan to travel in the future. I have two more
shots in the coming months to complete the series. Caley also need a hepatitis
A shot. Macey kept saying she wanted a shot until she heard Caley hollered out “Ouch
that HURTS, with a little crying!”
On Thursday I went to the Mom and Tots group to see what it
was like. I met a few more Moms and enjoyed watching the girls play with other
children one of which is in Macey’s classroom. They played for a while did a
coloring activity, had a snack and then played some more. It was a bit
unorganized and a bit chaotic. At least the teacher inside of me was thinking
of other ways to handle the group. I only say that because they came up with
the coloring activity on a fly and drew a snake on a piece of paper for the
kids to color and then added wiggly eyes to them. So as I left I made a comment
that I could open the house up since I am literally a block and half from where
they meet. Another mom explained the process so the first week of October I’ll
open the house and will be in charge of the snack and activity. I’m looking
forward to this!
We also got our air shipment in. It was a little taste of
home! We finally have a vacuum, microwave, my steam mop and many of useful
items that we were missing. It’s funny because we packed three packs of pull-ups
but hope that it will take forever to use them since we are trying to potty
train Caley. She is getting there.
The girls were so excited to see some of the toys we had packed!
Caley's Potty Chart for this week
I’ve learned something new! Well not really… I put in a load
of laundry before going to bed the other night and when I woke up in the
morning the washer was still running!!! YIKES! Well I was able to rinse and
spin the cloths. I put them in the dryer, they did their thing in there and
then when I took them out there was something very wrong with the cloths! Here
are a couple pictures of what happened. So lesson learned not to put a load of
laundry on before going to bed…
This shirt actually looks pretty cool but I guess there is too much chlorine in the water.
We have a long weekend this weekend and will get to enjoy
our time together. We can’t go to Bahrain yet since we don’t have our multi
entry/exit visas. But hope to go there on our October break!
