Concrete and Skita

Tuesday, May 05, 2009
Aaron and the chief poured the concrete and set the pole today. The kids wrote their names in the cement quite proudly. Aaron also got quite a bit of blue painted in Benjamin's room. It really pops! In addition, he built me a big shelf in the bathroom that will eventually hold three months worth of toilet paper, laundry detergent, etc. This is really beginning to feel like home.


Skita began working with me today, and she also played number bingo with us (numbers 1-20). In the picture, Katherine is chowing down on some lelenga. It has become a family favorite, and Skita said she will show us how to make it.
Evelyn brought some green coconuts by this afternoon, and Katherine begged for one until I hacked it open. I'm finally getting a little bit more comfortable wielding a big knife! Our kids love scooping out the moist flesh after the yummy juice is gone. Evelyn and her little one stayed for quite a while. He and Katherine played with the lacing beads while I learned body parts from Evelyn.
