We are staying very busy here in Angola. Here is an update through pictures from the last 2 weeks...
Easter Sunday was spent time with our neighbors. The kids went one a candy hunt! All candy found had to spend time in the fridge to fight the whole heat + chocolate bunnies = melted bunnies.... The kids had lots of fun together!
The early evenings are the best time to play outside. New chalk means the sidewalks are to plain and need to be colored. The wind was so strong that the chalk rolled all over the place. Owen came up with the idea of putting their water guns down to help keeping the chalk from going all over. Then it was time for some gardening. We have a nice big whole need the sidewalk which is a bit dangerous. But Owen was looking for treasure. Can't complain when you're on the search for buried treasure!
Chacha sent finger paints and googly-eyes among other fun crafty stuff. Owen and Riley had a blast painting! I had a hard time keeping up with them. Owen wanted to make a monkey while Riley napped one day. Afterwards he was so excited! They posed for lots of pictures with a big cheesy grins. He was adorable running around the house stopping by his friend Monkey to include him in the plot. We hosted play group last week with yummy snacks. Owen is in a orange and Riley is in blue sitting at the tables. The kids love watching movies in the evenings. It gives Nathan some time to work out and me some quiet prep time for dinner. They are amazing and play so well together!!
A coworker of Nathan's met up with my Mom before traveling to Angola. He brought a box Mom prepared for us. It was loaded with lots of goodies from spices to toys! Riley immediately wanted to try on her new swimsuit... 1st bikini!! And of course she had to put on brother's new swim trunks. Owen got new underwear. "Toy Green Lantern please met my new Green Lantern underwear." The look on his face shows every ounce of his excitement! Of course the box got some good play time as all boxes sent to our house get. Riley was blowing us kisses, saying good night and snuggling down in it. I promise she sleeps in her crib and not in boxes!
Ciao!
