Tea and Followship!!

We had the ladies from Lighthouse Baptist Church come over for a Tea and Fellowship. We had around 11 ladies and 10 kids. The kids were going crazy. So when Mrs. Canedy (our visiting speaker) was going to speak We (Em and I) took all the kids out side on the pouch to play quietly. It wasn’t very quiet, at lests to me it wasn’t.

Isn't this a nice, sweet picture?
Don't be deceived, Amber was complaining how she can't take a picture with Josiah, a boy!  

I was very thank for this make-shift jungle-gym!



Can you guess what Amber is saying?

They found two baby lizards and we got the kids a big plastic jar to put them in. Levi didn’t want to touch them and he killed one in the process. All I could think was I was an accessory in a murder. How many years do you get for that?  Finally they got the other one in there and then I told them to get some grass and dirt and put it in there. Later I found the little girls dropping rocks into it. All I could think then was, two murders in one day, Nice.  Don’t worry guys, He didn't die.

Isn't he cute!!

Putting the grass in...

 .     After the lizard lost their fascination Emily had a grand idea of going on a “Hike” (Walking around the house). :o) They loved it!!           

Look at how cute this is!! Stacy and Amber holding hands!

Playing on the swing

I love those smiles <3

Muffins!!
And yes, most of it ended up on the floor, but that is why we have dogs... 

 Talking about muffins, lets move inside and get some.

Ahh, Don't they look good?
They were!

 Mrs. Rains made zucchini and carrot muffins. I only had the carrot muffins, and they were perfect, just what a carrot muffin should be. With every thing in them but the kitchen sink! :o) 

Doesn't that table look nice?

The Ladies

 After everyone else left we let the dogs out with the Rains kids.

Andrew playing with Kwanza's tail! :o)

 Thanks for joining me for the day! Hope you had as much fun as the kids!!

Game Day

So a couple of Saturdays ago we helped with a game day at one of the churches in the Thika area. We had lots of fun watching the kids play games and have fun. One new thing we did this time was do a craft with the kids. For these kids it was a new experience and they had a lot of fun doing it!

Making Hot Chocolate

Ingredients

©       Hot Water –you can heat it up either in the microwave and be really high tech or you can do it the old fashion way by putting a pot on the stove. It’s all up to you! :o) 

©       Cocoa powder- I would use Cadbury, but my American friend who cannot get Cadbury, have to use what they have on hand. Which is Hersey or Nestle. Poor Americans we are thinking of sending chocolate aid to them.

©       Coffee- This is optional and you can either stir it in or sprinkle it on top at the end.

©       Ice Cream- I used vanilla but you could use coffee, peppermint, chocolate, or any other flavor that just flips your gizzard. Let your imagination run wild with all the flavors!

©       Spices- I used ginger, cinnamon, cardamoms, cloves, black pepper, and nutmeg. But you could use whatever spices you want. This is not optional by-the-way.

©       Other things you could add- nuts, a peppermint stick, drizzled chocolate or Carmel, marshmallows, sprinkles, your significant other (if you’re married), Christmas music, and a Christmas tree!

Now quick make some for yourself and relax!! <3

Side Note: You may have notice that there is no sugar or milk in the recipe. That is because the ice cream should cover all those areas! Enjoy!! :o)
