Ben's class had to do famous people speeches. His first choice was Michael Jackson but I vetoed that. He gave his speech at school dressed in the Joseph costume from church. It was so cute! I was on proud mama :)

Nyah being cheeky at the Harvest Carnival

She absolutely loved this rice table! She could have stayed there the whole night. I need to get a huge bowl and fill it with rice for her to play in at home. Hmmmmm.... on second thought, that sounds like it could make a huge mess...

I see you, Nyah!

Its been fun getting updates from Ethiopia. They went to an Ethiopian church Sunday (while we were sleeping last night). B likes the Tigger movie my dad downloaded onto his IPad before the trip. She hasn't shown any interest in the flashcards my mom brought so they aren't doing any prep work for school. B loves hot tea at meals and adds a lot of sugar. She likes the traditional Ethiopian way with leaves in it so she will tear open the tea bags and add the contents to her tea, then offer some to my parents. So sweet! My mom emailed this morning and said they were off to a coffee ceremony. What fun! We wish we could pack up all the kids and join them.
