Today was the first day of school. Luckily for us, the school doesn’t provide a hot lunch option, so this morning we made lunches for four children. We have never made that many home made lunches in one morning in our lives. Somehow we got it done. We arrived at the school on time, andContinue reading “Day 14”

Today was the last day of homeschooling the kids. I was in the office attempting to fix the internet, and Bonnie made breakfast for the kids, then took them on some errands. We are going to buy a Toyota Avanza, a small minivan type car that seats 6, perfect for us. We have to turnContinue reading “Day 13”

Today started off with breakfast and then home school. Bonnie walked up the hill to buy flour the other day. The flour was going to be used for baking, and also for an art project. This morning, she had them make home made play dough for art time. Bonnie briefly turned to wash a dish,Continue reading “Day 12”

This morning we had french toast, scrambled eggs, and spinach, the kids nearly revolted when they saw the spinach. We went to the same church as last week. I think the worship music is helping me learn more Spanish. At the start of service, a young man walked up to us and asked if heContinue reading “Day 11”

Warning: this post isn’t for the faint of heart. There will be photos of mummified bodies if you scroll down. Keep in mind, my children saw them face to face, so pity me and my wife, what we saw today will be in my kids nightmares for the next thirty years. With that said, enjoyContinue reading “Day 10”

The kids hd home school, and my bride, mid way through the day went out and purchased ingredients for more chicken soup. later on we played boardContinue reading “Day 9”

For the past few days, we have all been a little under the weather. Bonnie has been sick since we got off the plane, and the kids have been a little run down. We just stayed in all day, and ate home made chicken soup. All the kids love the soup Bonnie makes, and forContinue reading “Day 8”

We still haven’t heard from the private school, and instead of doing anything exciting, we drove to a Toyota dealership to check out a sweet Avanza minvan (sarcasm). It took us 30 minutes to drive to the dealership and when we got there, they told us that the car was at another dealership about anContinue reading “Day 7”

This morning my wife had another day of home school with the kids. We are still waiting for the private school to process everything and give us the green light on registering. We may have found a car we can buy from a Toyota dealership about 15 minutes away from here. Our landlords found itContinue reading “Day 6”

We are currenlty awaiting word on whether the private school the kids interviewed for will register them. In the meantime, Bonnie has taken it upon herself to home school the kids, so today she home schooled them from 9am to 1pm. We needed to find an ATM, and the place we are living, doesn’t exactlyContinue reading “Day 5”
