Chinglish--Christian Bilingual homeschooling in Taiwan
Dateline: May. 31, 2008
Saturday

ok, well, daddy is home. the boys were vying for attention last night and it was like a circus!!but they were happy to have him home, and so was I.....I slept better last night:-)

I don't have pix of this, though I probably should've, but you know what kept my youngest busy last week? the boys made airplanes, simple ones. They cut up some wood and nailed stuff together (with only one bleeding accident......dh can't figure out why I let the almost 6yr old use the saw.....hey, it wasn't electric!!!) anyway, ds3, soon to be 4yr old, took his outside and put 5 or 6 snails on it. Then he was flying them around with all the sound affects and all......................then he got two plans...."Snail War" he said......hey, he humored himself for quite some time.......gotta love that part.

Yesterday we got our vitamins in the mail. We ordered Supermom, Superdad and Superkids vitamins from www.beeyoutiful.com  . My boys, even the 9yr old, like it (hey, that is saying something with my oldest!!) anyway, this is too funny!! Ds3, takes his spoonful, the has his hands in the "up up and away" superman form............. then he looks really disappointed........."hey, I did't turn into superkid!!" I guess he thought it was medicine to make him a super hero or something...... he was  totally serious about it too...............KIDS!!

Well, not much going on here. I got my final grade for my first class, 80%.....but I won't tell you all what I got on my final exam...........oh.my.word. I have NEVER gotten such a bad score in my entire life!!!!but, it was my first test in how many years? I am pregnant, and have lots of other stuff going on. I should be taking my 2nd test next week I hope and pray. But really, I don't like tests!! I have a report to finish as well. I am trying to get a total of 12 credits done and over with before baby comes, then take the summer off.

OH, we had a baby born.....not mine!! one of the babies for adoption. He is a cutie.  I get to hold him on Monday when he gets discharged. His bio mom though wants to take care of him for a month. She goes back to jail in two months, so she will be giving him up for adoption. A choice she made months ago. Please do pray for that.

Oh, one more thing. I discovered yesterday that the neighbor diagonal across the street, her 4yr old son (3months older than our ds3) has the entervirus 71 that has decided to plague our county. So, please do pray that the next few months, we all stay healthy. This virus, an intestinal virus, is very contagious and can be lethal to children 6 and under. We are taking precautions and not going to parks and such, but please pray. It is very common here for families with kids who are sick to still go out and play or go to the store or what not. Just what a family with young kids and a pregnant woman do NOT need. Last week was the highest number of cases in Taiwan ever recorded. So, please do pray. It comes on as a cold/flu and then within 3 days could kill if not taken care of. This is in relation to the Hand/Foot disease that is also going around.

Thanks

I am happy for you that you all are reunited again:) I am sure it is tough to have dh gone. I could just see the kids outside flying the planes around. Too cute! I hope all goes well with your schooling:)
