Game time

The other day… last Thursday, Merch invited us all down to play this awesome game with her English student, Mitsuhiro. We call him Mitsu for short. He’s cool. Here are photos.

FALL IS HERE!!!

Today we went to a School park nearby. Mercy took photos of us jumping off of a little platform. Does it look like we are flying?

Light is everything

–By Merch

Hi… these photos, I warn you, are totally awesome! So be forewarned! It’s pretty trippy

So today when I was with the MC, i realized how beautiful the lamp light was… shining down on the green apple there. It was just beautiful. Something about it.

So I pulled out my handy… not so handy… bulky camera, and shot a few pictures. Then the MCs all joined in and “voila”, these pictures came out. I think they’re sweet! Hope you like them. Hee hee

Little apple on the desk

Guess who’s hand??

Sweet, serious one… Nathalie. I love this one.

Crazy Calvin.

KEITHY! … keeewl!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

YOW!

And last but not least; in fact, my favorite one…

Makes me smile(too funny).

 

Happy (cook) Helper–Nathalie

Today I (Naty) helped Merch cook dinner.

She was making beef stew.

*

I helped her to cut the garlic and other vegetables for her fried rice too. It was fun.

I even got to mix the stew in the big, big pot.

I love you!

Word time

Some times we have projects. Art projects. When we have art projects like what we did yesterday, we get to color and have some free time. Yesterday we borrowed Mercy’s crayon set (a whopping set of 30 colors), and drew pictures for the 1st chapter of the Psalms. It was actually quite fun! Here are some photos.

Calvin didn't fit on the table, so he decided to sit on the floor.

Naty's art: "We're sinning!" The sinners on the road that leadeth to destruction.

"Wait, I'm almost done..."

Beautiful art! You guys are great!

breakfast is a happy time… I eat all my food!

I love breakfasts. There’s something exciting about breakfast time. It’s like the start of a new and exciting trip out… you know, you wake up in the morning and you’re all excited and raring to go? (well… I feel like that sometimes) Breakfast starts you out right. It gives you this kind of excited feeling like, “whats going to happen today?” I feel it when the kids are eating breakfast and I know they are looking forward to the day. I love it. I love being with kids.

Ps: It hasn’t been updated lately. hope to update more. xxx

Get out

These pictures are old, but I hope you like them. We did a jumping game with Mercy at school park. We can jump really high if we jump off of this platform at the park.

“Peekaboo!”

Can you see the others behind the trees too?

First you climb up…

and then…

JUMP!!

Jump again!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

YEY!

…OPPS! Where did keithy go???

Ready…. !

… GO!!!

But… we can’t keep jumping forever and ever–even though we wanted to.

Patrick came with mommy later.

Naty is so cute.

See you later!

Heres a Rime

My little fingers like to squish,

The paints that lie in waiting,

Within those little tubes of silver,

That I will use for painting.

egg drawing day.

We had a fun breakfast with hard boiled eggs and a marker.

Here is naty

She’s being foolish and playing with her food

See? Shes so foolish. playing hide-and-seek!

Here is our home made bread. Its made of wheat flour in our very own bread-maker

This is how big it was…

Actually, this bread isn’t so big. But it sure looks big when Mandy holds it.

Here is Naty drawing on her boiled egg… I wonder how it will turn out…

“I DID IT”

…there you go!

It was lots of fun!
