Laundry

This morning I woke up at six to the sound of Becca's voice and some banging around in the bathroom. "Um, Oh my goodness!" and then she ran out of the bedroom into the living room and came back in with Adam, who was the only guy awake. There was a mouse in the bathtub which she spotted when she was going to take a shower. I was too tired to get up out of bed and see it, but I guess it was a, "cute little critter". Well, that cute little critter can stay out of my bathtub. We showered in the boys bathroom. And I was afraid that one would come up out of the pipes while I was peeing earlier. Oh joy.

Today everyone left the house except for Alex, Adam, Rachel and I. So we watched some episodes of Arrested Development on Alex's laptop for about an hour and have been decaling the pink breast cancer Suubi beads for most of the day. It's really slow in coming, but hopefully most of them will be done soon. There are over 1000 to complete. Yes, 1000. But with three of us doing it, it goes a little faster. Well, once Alex left, it was just Rachel, Adam and I. Adam went to shower so we could go into town, where I am now. And so I went out on the back porch where Nancy was (I love her, Adam and I were playing football with her earlier, she loves it)...washing the laundry. I asked her, "Nancy? You will teach me?" and she laughed and said, "Yes, Auntie! I will teach!" and so her and Sharon (who was home from school for lunch) taught me how to wash the clothes. I enjoyed it, but I only washed two things. A couple shirts. It makes me thankful for washing machines and dryers. They laughed at me, and I said, "Oh, I am no good!" and Sharon goes, "But Auntie, you are trying!". I love them. I held Kymbi for awhile, it was the first time he voluntarily allowed me to hold him. He had just woken up from a nap and was half naked. Meaning his bottom half. I was a little "fearful" of being peed on. haha He is too cute. I think we are headed out of the cafe soon to walk to the market, and I do not have much else to write for today, but I will another time.
