"White Boy is Comin' "

Ok, I havent quite figured out how to put the pictures in the order that I want them to be yet, but anyway, I wanted to update you all on our last few days happenings. The boys have had the past two days off of school so we have been trying to get out of the house and get all the energy out. So, yesterday we went to this school field and the older boys played cricket, while I chased Caleb and Judah around the field. Judah was so cute just takin' off. He didnt really care where he was going and wasnt paying attention to much, he was just off and trying to eat everything in sight. And I mean everything....goat poop, rocks, leaves, candy wrappers, etc....so I was always running to take something out of his mouth or hand. Caleb was throwing and chasing a bouncy ball and just having a blast. It was really nice to be outside and have somewhere for them all to just go.
This is a picture of Caleb and Judah on our front porch playing with "Rusty", our adopted dog.
Today, on Friday we went to the river with some friends and Judah thoroughly enjoyed sitting in the sand and playing. (and eating it!) Every time I would turn around he was shoving another handful of sand in his mouth. He had a blast and he loved the cold water too.
Here is the "white boy"! When I took off his shirt I said something about him being a white boy and then later he was coming from over and playing in the sand and was saying, "the white boy is coming" I was cracking up! It is so funny how kids here things and then repeat what they have heard, not really knowing what they are saying. He is a crack up!

Dawa was also having a blast today and was trying to put together his own fishing line. There were some other men there fishing, so he thought he would try it out as well. He didnt catch anything, but had a good time trying. He is a funny boy and such a village boy. Every spring these certain bugs come out, I am not sure what they are called, but I have heard someone call them flying termites, but anyway, Dawa was catching them and eating them. He said he only ate the butt and not the head though. Oh, that is SO much better.......funny, huh?
