Long Nap

I took a long nap this afternoon. I didn't even wake up until 6:00pm. We had put the kids in their room for quiet time but apparently they kept coming in our room. I was out like a light and did not hear a thing. I think I could use a few more long naps :)

We had fajitas for dinner and Doss played board games with the kids while I called my family. The kids got to bed pretty late tonight so I think they will be nice and cranky tomorrow.

Sort of hard to see, but the back of this bus has a picture of Bob Marley, a Jamaican flag, and a Marijuana plant.  We saw the bus on the way home from church while we were stuck in traffic.  It made us laugh.

Too Busy

Audrey said she really wanted a birthday party this year. When I looked at the calendar, I realized that Saturday March 9 was the only day we had available this month. I sent out some email invitations and spent the last few days frantically getting everything ready on top of all the other things I normally have to do. Thursday night our printer broke so Friday morning I bought another one. Audrey worked hard to help me prep for the party. She wanted a Littlest Pet Shop themed party. We pulled it off and all the kids had a good time.

Joseph had a soccer game this morning before the party. They won 3-2. It was nice to see the boys play well and enjoy their win.

I was just too tired to post the last few days. I thought I better catch up before I just end up calling it quits if I get too far behind.

On Thursday, my friend Cherylyn and I had lunch at KOI in Kemang. The food was really good.

I made cupcakes Friday night since I knew we would be at the soccer game Saturday morning

Audrey's friend Arisa's mom took this picture of us right before Audrey blew out the candles on her cupcakes.

Library

We usually try to go to the school library on either Monday or Wednesday afternoons since we have time before afterschool activities begin. After the library visit, we went and hung out in the cafeteria. Joseph had soccer practice at 3:00pm and it rained again. Luckily the rain stopped so the kids didn't have to practice in the rain the whole time.

March is Dr. Suess month!

Katelyn has recently gotten into dancing with the Just Dance game for the Wii...so cute!

Clinic

Katelyn and I spent all morning at the SOS clinic. They are still not sure what is causing the headaches. This afternoon Joseph had a friend over. They had a good time. Joseph was sad to see his friend leave.

I made a new game called Surrender.

New Rule

The kids have turned into iPhone and iPad junkies so the new rule is that electronic devices will be used primarily during traveling. They might be used occasionally at other times but only at our discretion. It has been harder to do outdoor activities during the rainy season. Now that the rainy season is winding down, we are planning on taking the kids out more to swim, ride bikes, play tennis, play soccer, etc.

Audrey said she wanted a snack before gymnastics this afternoon.  She must have been really hungry since she devoured this mini pizza.

Sunday Dinner

We had a set of Indonesian Elders over for dinner tonight. They asked if it was okay to bring an investigator. Doss had also invited a visitor from Church. I was worried we wouldn't have enough food but it all worked out. The investigator even shared a scripture and sang for us.

Big Oops!

I knew I forgot to post yesterday's pictures, but I didn't realize that I also neglected to post on Thursday. I guess I will do 3 photos for each of us in today's post. That should put us back on schedule.

On Thursdays I normally go to an art class.  I started a new painting and this photo of a lotus that I found on the internet is what I am attempting to paint.  I took a photo of the photo...maybe that is cheating...oh well.

Doss and I have been in the process of applying for Katelyn to go to preschool in the fall.  Friday morning I took her to the clinic to update her shots and to get a TB test. I promised her some Littlest Pet Shop toys if she would be brave and not scream at the clinic.  She did really well and cried just a tiny bit after she got her shot. She was excited to get her toys.  I had also made caramel popcorn the night before as a snack for our trip to the doctor.  This picture is of Katelyn eating caramel popcorn after the visit to the clinic.  She was obviously not too scarred by the whole experience.

Joseph had another soccer game this morning.   All 10 players and the coach were present so the team posed for a picture.  I was supposed to be the photographer for the team photo but of course as soon as the parents figured out what was going on, all the moms were on the field snapping photos.  The kids were looking all different directions. This one came out pretty well all things considered. Sadly, the team lost their game 2-1.  They played an Indonesian school.  Those kids were really good and played well.
