It's been awhile since I've written on here, so I'll try to do better! We are currently, "between homes". We moved out of our house in Nairobi on Oct. 15th. We have been blessed to be able to stay with a friend in Boma N'gombe outside of Arusha for a few weeks, and we plan to move into our new house Nov. 4th.
It's always difficult keeping the children's schedules running smoothly during a trasition time, and keeping them active and not driving eachother (and me) crazy. So, today, we made Fall Leaf Cookies. I made the dough, then split it into three sections and dyed each one a different color before letting the kids roll them out and cut out the cookies. It gave them something to do for an afternoon!
I've been trying to do something creative every afternoon. One day we looked up different flags from around the world, and the kids picked some to draw. Then, they made paper dolls of children from that country holding their flag. That was fun.
We only have missed 2 days of school so far in this move, since we moved mostly over the weekend. I have found that things go much smoother for me if they kids have something to keep themselves focused for a majority of the day and aren't left with too much free time!
