Day 71

Just another typical day of homeschooling and working. After school we had lunch and then did our daily prayers for the city and state we are living in.

After that we just lounged around and were lazy with most of the day. It’s really difficult living in a foreign country and being told to stay home. The landlady came over to see why we don’t have any water pressure. Every month we need to clean out the shower heads, the water here is full of minerals. Since we are being told to stay in, our landlady gave us access to the “cabin” that is adjacent to the home we are in. It’s featured on Airbnb and isn’t that remarkable. The home we are staying in is a lot nicer. When we got back from the cabin next door, the kids ran upstairs and were quiet for a long time. I snuck upstairs and caught them, our oldest smuggled a chrome book and was watching some cartoon in her bed. We took off the door knobs the first week we were here, they had a locking mechanism and the kids kept locking their doors. 😀


Our third child lost his first tooth today. That was really exciting for him, he gets so excited and it’s really adorable. Let’s see if the toothy fairy brings him something for it later tonight.

I went to the grocery store after dinner and stocked up on some food we couldn’t get at Costco. After I was really unimpressed with their cuts of meat. I really miss our butcher back home in Alameda. What was impressive is the assortment of syrups they use on pancakes and waffles. They literally use dulce de leche, sweetened caramel, and other syrups besides the typical old fashioned syrup we use in the States. *
