Happy Easter!

It has been a while since I have filled you all in, but I thought I would wait until today so I could mention the week. I ventured into a new country, treated myself with tea, and we celebrated Easter all week with kids on the mountain. I got to do tons of crafts, and even play gym teacher!

Let's let the photos do the talking.

We went into Lesotho this week for a bbq inside of a cave. Lesotho is a very small country that is surrounded by South Africa. It is completely third world, very traditional villages inside. There were huge caves to see, a wall of purple rock, and the most intricate, beautiful trees.





The older kids that live in the village are on Holidays this week so we ran a program with them. Each day we did some stories, some music, some physical exercise and then crafts. On Thursday we decorated eggs with everyone. The ladies thought I was crazy, first off for coloring food when it could be eaten, and then for blowing the yokes through a small hole?





My kids are still doing well, they are learning lots. This week we are starting a unit on musical instruments and a lady from the US is coming. Here are the wee ones with their evil teacher making them write N n hundreds of times.



In other news, my favorite accessory in the house, a great shot of some kids outside, and I warned you... I treated everything with tea. No shame.







I hope you still love me after that last one...

Now go, and enjoy the eggs, the hams, and the Jesus.

much love
