Slip!

Yesterday was an exciting day around here.
It was Suman's birthday so Alison made her a necklace and I made her a card, She was very happy, and we all sang to her!
It was Republic Day so they did not have school. I brought out the nail polish and nail gems I brought with me for them. We had a nail session all afternoon, they were thrilled!
Tim Alison and I also started out work-out plan yesterday.
I came up with the idea to jog a lap to the stairs that lead to the pond, then run up and down twice run back to our guest house, do push ups and abs and do that whole thing 5 times. Were on the first lap, going down the stairs, they had me leading, I stepped on the last step, which was the most slippery surface I have every stepped on! Its like muck and clay and wet, so my foot slipped, into the pond it goes, I think I'm going to save myself when the other foot slips and like slow motion my whole body goes in the green, murky, snake infested pond!!! (thankfully my head didn't go under!) It was so funny! Tim and Alison helped me out! So then I rinsed off and we tried again! This time I didn't go down to the last step!
We played a huge game of capture the flag in the evening, the girls LOVE that game.
Alison, Tim and I have been helping out in the kitchen, we have been sitting on this huge blade that we cut the vegetables with, it is hard to get used to, but I think we'll be pros by the end! It is neat learning how the women cook and prepare the food here!
