Friday Favorites

Well, let's just say the new school schedule is keeping me busy and blogging has taken a backseat.

So sorry I have been MIA this week with blogging.  Here is a re-cap of some of our week:

Even though I've actually never done either of these things, I feel like I can relate and this photo certainly made me laugh!

The Floyds stayed with us through Tuesday evening.  Ross and Avery went to the 20th floor rooftop of our building and flew our kite. They called us and we looked up from the balcony to take this picture.

Meanwhile, Angela helped Isabella with her Algebra homework.

I bought this rug for our kitchen.

Because let's face it, having a comfy rug to stand on will help to make washing all of these dishes a little better :)

Monday was holiday here, so we flew kites with some teammates and then had lunch together.

Tuesday, Avery helped the Floyds begin to look at neighborhoods for their house hunting experience. After my Spanish class, I joined them for lunch before getting home for the girls.  Wednesday, I spent my morning at PriceSmart with a friend.  As a reminder, PriceSmart is our store here that is kind of like a Cosco.  This is where I can find goodies like these:

Wednesday night was a long night of homework. At 10pm, we finally told Isabella it was time for bed.  She was up at 5:20 working at it again. Needless to say, we are still working on time management with her and organizational skills with Brook. Thursday, I spent my first day at home this week, after a brief trip to the grocery store, catching up on many things here.  

Both of the girls had school pictures taken this week. Ironically, this picture of me with my 6th grade class appeared on Facebook Thursday.  Can you find me?

It's Friday, so Spanish classes are on the schedule. This weekend, Isabella and Brook both begin youth group activities, so it will be busy.  I know that doesn't sound like much in the states, but that translates to several hours of transportation here, so it requires a lot of time.

That is the update, not so exciting, but that is it.  I hope you have a great weekend ahead and please keep praying for the needs of the girls with school.

(On a side note, I am the 3rd from the right on the front row of my class picture).
