What we've been doing lately

Here's a random photo record of our last few days. Enjoy!

I had to snap a picture of this guy. Ok, how inclined are you to hire a man who appears to be blindly sautering his own fingers together? And look at all that stuff behind him that he's ruined! This is as bad as the moving company called "Hand Removal Service." Think people, think.

Ah, much better. Now there's a couple of cute girls if I say so myself.

What could be more fun that decorating a coconut? Ethan's den did this as part of their end of the year banquet. I love our multinational crew.

Ethan scored big time Thursday night by finding a Lego set for about 1/3 of the original price. He was up at 6:30 to put it together.

He did this whole project almost on his own. It's the biggest Lego thing he's built so far. He got stuck a few times but we navigated the problems together.

Ta da! It only took him the better part of a day, but he's prouder than proud of his new Lego creation. He talks incessantly about Exoforce Legos.

Ethan's latest trick is to balance on this ladder which is supposed to be connected to his bed. The screws are stripped so it never stays on. After we move we're nailing it to the bed!

You can't see them all that well, but Megan spent her Friday afternoon room time dressing her animals up "for Halloween."

When Megan should have been sleeping Thursday night, I found her making beds for all her stuffed animals on her trundle bed. She is one of the most nurturing and compassionate little girls I know.

Megan and her best friend Faith, waiting for chocolate waffles on their trusty scooters. I took my kids and my neighbor's girls across the street for breakfast this morning. Afterwards we played in the hot hot sun for an hour.

Ethan and his good friend Naomi, who will be leaving us soon, enjoying waffles at the hawker center.
