Perfect Pet?


Our goal this week was to tweak the schedule so we could all volunteer for PCOC on Tuesday and still get a full week of school completed. We succeeded...though it DOES mean we are FOCUSED for those four days...late afternoons of school...but done. 

The best quote of this week is from Stacia, after spending the entire week studying SNAKES - Ewwww!  "I think I'll get a pet bunny instead of a pet anaconda after all! ::snort::

Strange Sight




Does anyone else find things like this in their home? Zander wanted to see what made the timer work....we'll see if he can put it back together. ::snort:: 

The belt flew off the elliptical today while I worked out. I went on a bike ride instead. 

I enjoyed a blessed time of prayer with PWOC Japan Region VP. 

Full day of school today...The kids  enjoyed an afternoon  trip to the park while I visited with 3 women and worked through Ephesians chapter 1...we made a running trip through the commissary. 

I made tacos with ground turkey for the family and Spicy Lentil Tacos for myself.  We were blown away when Michael showed up at 5:30 p.m. Quite nice to have him home. 

Michael and I ran to Shimoda for produce while the kids cleaned up dinner. Alas, no nectarines or plums...but I got peaches, apples and kiwis for 50% less than the commissary. The plums and nectarines I got on Saturday were WONDERFUL. Maybe we can drive up Nanbu way and find nectarines. Sad to see watermelon season end. 

We read another few chapters from Gift From the Mikado. This is written by the first foreign baby born in Morioka...to parents who were the first missionaries in Morioka, Japan. Interesting read, amusing to see the changes in culture....and surprising to see how much is the same too. 

Boys are taking showers and we're calling it a night.
