Laowai

I can’t seem to get a normal pleasant face when I take pictures of the girls lately. They’re always sticking their tongues out or making grouchy faces whenever they see the camera.

Oh well.

Here’s Claire wearing goggles while she helped me in the kitchen. It think the goggles were because I was cutting a bunch of onions and it was bothering her eyes.

Here she is all dressed up for Fancy Friday at school. They seem to have a lot of theme dress up days at school. She was so excited – she even put on some big clip-on earrings that we had around. Then when we got to school – I was dropping her off in the car – she watched as the other kids went in and it seemed like no one was dressed up. She waited and watched and got more and more upset because she didn’t want to be the only one dressed up. It was time to go and tears started coming – poor thing. Then at the last minute her best friend showed up with a pouffy sparkly dress and she dried her eyes and ran in. Sigh – peer pressure. It turns out many of the kids did dress up (the boys wore their little bow ties) you just couldn’t tell because they were bundled up in winter things. She was all smiles after school.

Here she is with a crown to celebrate 100 days of school. Very color coordinated!

And one more funny face – a possum was hanging around in the back yard one day.
