Today, was a busy day. We had to be at ballet practice at 8 am ready to go. Mrs. Pannifer is very strict. We ran out the door and raced to practice. We got their just in time. The girls did their bit and then we had to get changed into their pony costumes for pictures. They look so cute! I can't wait to see them in next week's shows. Afterwards, we came back home and got ready to go to the HCA (Hillcrest Christian Academy) Winter Fair day. It is hard to believe this is winter. There are some days it is a little chilly in the mornings but on the whole, it stays in the 80s during the day. The nights are cool and the days are warm. It makes it hard to dress the girls. I dress them in layers so they can take off long sleve shirts as the day warms up.
We met up with Jane and Chris Akob, friends of ours from Cameroon. They are living here with their family. I have known Jane for years as she used to work for a long time for Heifer. The girls love their daughters- especially Elma. So, we spent the afternoon there. Walking around and the girls riding rides. Then we went to eat at a place called Nando's. When we got home it was getting dark. The girls took a bath and by 7 pm they were pleading to go to bed. They were so tired. They played hard at the HCA Fair.
Sienna is constantly telling her stories. Today, I heard her out on the veranda talking away to Emmanual (our gardner), about how Froggy made a mess in the flowers and Emmanual needed to fix the mess. Froggy picked all the flowers and got her clothes all dirty and she had to go to school with dirty clothes. Emmanual's English is basic so he wasn't sure what she was talking about. He thought she was talking about a real frog. So, I had to explain to him that she is always telling these stories and we showed him who froggy was. He was busy working and pulling weeds and there she was talking 90 miles an hour to him about froggy and the trouble he was in. It was very cute.
