No pictures
No, Julie, I did not cut my own hair:( Do you think I'm crazy? But, this girl took layers to new levels for me. She thought my hair was way too thick, which I agree, but woah! I definitely got my 20$ worth, and now I won't need a haircut for a year.
No pictures for you this weekend. We've had the flu you see, and do you really want pics of that? Actually the littles and I have somehow managed to steer clear for now. Mark has been drinking lots of ginger water and bland rice porridge that my helper has made for him. mmmmm.
Mark and I have now applied for our licenses over here. Hilarious. I wish I could explain to you all the rooms we went in and out of, all to get a date in Feb to go take the test. My favorite was the health examination. I think there were ten rooms and I think anyone with a pulse would be able to pass. I'm not complaining!! Just sitting here laughing.
Let the festivities begin. The largest holiday of the year is upon us. We are about to see and hear firworks for a week. The kids will be thrilled, unless they can't sleep, but I'm hoping they will:)
Okay, I'm rambling as you can tell. Enough. Have a good weekend!!

Flour update
Woah, seriously, look at this. Less than half!! I guess making your own bread, tortillas, granola, cookies, and cakes can put a serious dent in 50 pounds of flour. And no bugs, as of yet!!
Hair Cuts
Juddy and I got some cuts today. I haven't been for a hair cut since May when I left Louisville. It was time. Juddy hasn't had his hair cut since August, and it was a bit unruly. With a little pushing from my mom, during a video just now, I took my sharpest pair of scissors in the house and went at it. Its not great, but I think its better than the "sheep dog" look he was sporting before. He is so cute. Can't get enough of him these days, um, except when hes complaining, whining and saying no to me...

Dogs and pics from school
Been noticing raw meat that is being sold now outside our building. Its laid out nice on a dirty metal table. People are buying, but not me. Then yesterday my helper came in and said, "Hey they are selling dog right out front!" She knew I would turn up my nose. She said it was expensive. I asked her if she ate dog and she said no, that she had had one as a pet before and couldn't bring herself to eat dog. AHHHH. I may not tell the kids.
Just finished finals week, which means thing will slow down here a bit. Or so I thought. . . Actually with Mark not having to get to class at 8am, he can take the bigs to school, so I don't have to bundle all of us and walk the 1/2 mile in the am. That has made life a lot more comfortable! Most of our student friends will go home for their big holiday. And our foreign friends will traipse of to tropical lands. Mark always finds things to keep him busy, like teaching next Sunday.
Ok, these are random thoughts. Its hard to remember that people other than grandparents are reading this, or that you don't know what my life is like. Blogging is still such a weird concept to me. Mark says it is because I'm old(ok he didn't actually say it that way, but I like to rephrase his comments and get him in trouble). The kids school finally gave me some pics. Enjoy. . .
Fire Station field trip in October.
Um, yes, this is the Christmas performance that the kids did, that the parents were not allowed to attend. They said, "parents make the children too excited". Hmm, not sure who they performed for, but this was the first I got to see my daughter with make up on. And, yes, those are boys beside her. Lets just say that Mark was overjoyed that Lawrence wouldn't participate in the first place, let alone let them put make up on him. I'm not sure we would have been able to go back if there would have been pictures of him with make up on!!
Caroline's drawing is improving!
I love this picture of Lawrence and Dodo. He likes her, and always wants to say goodbye to her when I pick the kids up. She is the cutest little thing too!
Um, yes, it looks like Santa even made an appearance.
Halloween. Isn't it crazy that the kids celebrate Amerian holidays more at their foreign school than in their American home?
Solo dance!!
Lawrence is finally drawing! He said this was a picture of the flood.
Ok, you have to admit that this is cute. . .
