Group Room

Winter has arrived!  There is snow and it is cold, not as cold as home, but the coldest since we have been here.  When we walked to the market today we found out the Mick's boots are not meant for walking on packed snow.  He was sliding around like he was wearing ice skates, but instead of going forward he was going sideways! I was afraid to walk in front of him or to close behide him, because if he fell he would have taken me with him! He did not fall, he just slide around a lot. 
Russie and Cheri took their Wii to the childrens home tonight and we stayed in the group room with all the girls.  There are 12 to 15 girls in Vika's group, ages 13 and 14. The girls loved the Wii games, they did bowling, ping pong, and sword fighting. It was nice to sit back and watch the kids play and be themselves.  It was a group of children having fun, playing. Mick and I had as much fun watching them as they did playing the games. Most of the girls took a turn but a few did their homework or just watched. It was a pleasant evening, the atmosphere was very relaxed.
We are all tired this evening so Russie and Cheri went to their apartment and we came back to ours to blog and get ready for bed.  Mick has already fallen asleep once, it is only 8 here and it feels like 10.
