Dirty Clothes... And New Ones

Dear readers,

Yesterday was a normal school day, except we had the delight of teaching the itty-bitties about Easter. One of the activities was to create your own Easter egg. Coincidentally, the kids on either side of us had very similar designs, colors, and patterns.  Little heads would peek over at our drawings, we'd laugh and they'd  cover their identical papers.  


After school, we dropped by the tailor, Nick, to pick up our finished dresses. We climbed back into the car to meet an overjoyed Peter. He almost drooled in admiration for the handiwork. We picked up detergent along the way, so we could wash our overdue, heaping pile of dirty laundry. 


With our clothes swaying on the line, we headed out for a farewell dinner for David. Our cravings were fulfilled with delicious pineapple pizza and ice cream: two foods which we have been deprived of since our arrival.

Emilia has been reading away piles of books. Meanwhile, Mattie has been procrastinating her summer reading by teaching herself an action packed game, solitaire. Today, she won her first two games... without cheating.

After watching the sunrise and saying good-bye to David, we set out for school. TGIF! However, our school day only lasted forty-five minutes. We only stayed for a presentation, by the fifth grade, about factors. Now, we are waiting for our clothes to dry (Emilia's attempts at spelling this word: die, dye, drie. As you can see, we are both exhausted. Last night, with the attempt of singing ourselves to sleep, our enthusiasm kept us up 'til twelve. Partyin' it up). 

Off to lake Bunyonyi in a few hours! (Look it up)

Emilia and Mattie

P.S. You'll hear back from us on Monday!
