I just wanted to share with you a little bit, of how our Friday went. :-) There are no pictures of mom and dad, because they weren't home yesterday. :-) They had to be at an all - day college meeting. I'll let the pictures do most of the telling, but I'll put in a few words here and there. Enjoy!
Good morning!!! (from Jimmy) It's Friday; why don't you look happier?:-)
 |
| Jimmy is our energetic, sometimes annoying, but very cute puppy. |
 |
| The girls working on school. |
 |
| The girls "kicked" Zach away from the table, and now he is doing school in dad's office. :-) |
 |
| Snack time!!! My siblings favourite part of the day.:-) |
 |
At lunch we had cabbage, potatoes, and mince meat - A good Kenyan dish. Wanjiku made the cabbage for us.
(Notice Taylor isn't looking at the camera..... I couldn't make him smile for it. I guess he doesn't like pictures. ) |
 |
| Having fun on the trampoline! Jimmy looks like he wants to join. :-) |
 |
| More fun jumping on the trampoline. |
 |
| Taylor and Zach love the Ethiopian shirts I brought back for them. |
 |
| I made personal pizzas, so they are putting the ingredients on their own pizzas. |
 |
| Chopping away on the salad. (Credits to the photographer zach, who took this picture:-) |
 |
| I never used to put apple slices in salad, but when I had some of Bella's salad (in Ethiopia) with apple in it, I decided to try it at home. I love it! |
 |
| The pizza is done. I couldn't get a picture in fast enough before someone had taken a few pieces. :-) |
 |
| Our game of memory. I shall not tell you who won, lest my siblings think It bragging. :-) |
 |
| Suzy's lego house. What you are seeing right now is the porch. |
 |
My siblings lego creations. I don't think I have ever seen an elephant quite that tall before, but with legos you can make just about anything. :-)
By - Ashlyn Elaine or Rebash (That is my ethiopian nick name, and if you really want to know what it means, you have to ask, and the few people who do know the meaning can not give it away.:-) |
LOVE the Ethiopia shirts!
ReplyDeleteYes I do too.....I wish now I had gotten myself one too.
DeleteLove it ALL! Love you guys! Love the combo of EAS Halains :) Have a GREAT week. Don't get the idea to send the parents away all the time! The Mrs. and I will want some of that pizza in November!
ReplyDeleteThanks. No we won't send them away too much...maybe every once in a while though:-) Yes, I'd love to make you some pizza when you come.
DeleteThanks for sharing your day....ok....what DOES your Ethiopian name mean??
ReplyDeleteOne of the people I went with on my trip to Ethiopia was my teacher, from first grade and then again in fifth grade. Her nickname for me is naughty ( I don't know why:-), but that is how you say it in Amharic.
DeleteLooks like you are a good babysitter! Now, I didn't see a picture of Taylor doing school work......hmmm......:) I could imagine and "taste" each part of the day! I miss you all!
ReplyDeleteTaylor doesn't like pictures of himself, but he did do school. :-)
DeleteI miss you too, but I only have to wait one more year now. (Lord Willing)
