Mon. 5/25 - Sun. 5/31

Monday is a holiday and there is no school. To us, it's Memorial day but I think it's some sort of holiday here in Dominica too. The store underneath us is closed. We didn't make any plans for the day. I half thought about going to the pool or beach but I really don't feel like it. I really need to tackle the sink full of dishes. I HATE doing dishes by hand. I haven't figured out how to stay on top of them. I do pretty good at rinsing them off though. I miss my dear friend the dishwasher!!

There's a bunch of random junk under our stairs out back behind the store. The kids had visions for the junk and have used the balcony next to ours as their little play house. The apartment next to ours is vacant. Imagination is a good thing. They are being quite creative! 

Lexi thought it would be fun to put Emma in a mini cart at the grocery store. Emma loved it!

At the family lounge one day all the kids were eating on the couch and watching TV. Looking at them made me smile so I quickly took a picture before anyone moved! Haha!

The elders came over for dinner on Wednesday and had the kids write nice words about a sibling. They were challenged to be more kind to each other. They are hard to read but it was nice that they were thinking kind thoughts about each other. 

She likes to steal my glasses. I think they look cuter on her. 

Emma and I went for a walk and she loved exploring campus!

After a bath her hair was sticking up a little. It's growing! :)

This girl loves wearing big shoes.

On Friday we went with a group to In.Light.In. It is a Christian ministry group. They take lunch to local children, share a bible lesson and play. This little local girl "taught" Emma to kick a ball. It was fun watching them chase the ball around. They both wanted it! 

I wish this picture showed her face better! She was SO happy she had the ball. Little thief! Hehehe!

Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening there is Boot Camp where a bunch of people get together and do crazy hard workouts. If I didn't have 4 kids I'd like to think I'd participate. We were getting ready to leave campus and the kids saw them by the family lounge and jumped right in doing lunges. 

LOVE LOVE LOVE a sleeping baby on my chest! I adore this girl!

On Sunday Isaac's long pants were in the dirty clothes and he couldn't find short black socks and didn't want to wear his sandals... I didn't see what he was wearing until I came outside and he said it looked like he was wearing tights. Then made this sad face.I almost feel bad about this picture but I thought his sad face was actually pretty cute. I don't think he was permanently scarred. He really seemed just fine after that... I love this kid!
