We can not believe it! The sun was out again, we do not know what to think! This is the most consecutive days of sunshine we have seen on both our trips. We are not complaining we are enjoying. It is cold- but the sun makes you want to be outside. We walked to the market and had a nice day with Russie and Cheri.
We were back in the art room tonight, but we had a fun time. Cheri has a program on her computer that distorts your face, like a mirror in a fun house, all the kids liked it. They took turns sitting in front of her computer making faces and pulling each other into the picture. Russie had a childrens book with pictures and words in english, to see if the kids knew the english word for objects, like bear, shirt, plate. We were suprised that most of the kids could read the written word, but could not tell you the name of an object if you covered the word. They know the word but not the meaning. Our Vika did not have much interest in this, Russie did get her to do it a few times because all the kids were taking a turn. Autur on the other hand went through Russie's book and the book I had, and when we were finished he said "thank you". All the children impressed us with their reading skills, and Anslee and Sister Vika with their math. We had a nice evening talking, reading, and playing with bend-a-roos. (They are a craft toy Cheri brought) Vika had sneakers on this evening, and when we made a comment on this she told us the zipper on her one boot broke. I ask her if she wanted us to bring the boots we brought for her and she said yes. I was happy that she ask.
Russie and Cheri had us over for dinner, but when we arrived at their apartment door the light in the hallway was not on, it was very dark. Mick rang what he thought was their doorbell, but it was the neighbors! I said you rang the wrong doorbell! When Russie opened the door the man in the next apartment was standing there in his pajamas, and did not looked to pleased, we said sorry! So never ring a doorbell in a dark hallway unless you are 100% sure it is the correct one.
Good advice . . . maybe we'll just stay away from doorbells, altogether! We can't wait to see you guys! It's hard to believe that we leave in 3 days . . . AAAAHHHH!!!
