Sorry it's been a while. Haven't really had a lot of time to do this, with all the classes and such. Well...
We have been having a really hard time here. Especially my mom. She had to travel back to America twice because her mom had cancer and the second time she went my grandma died. It has been difficult for us to deal with this, and I am having a really bad problem because I didn't get to see her before she died.
The first time my mom came back, she brought back a lot of stuff. She gave the girls some jacks, and it has been a nice replacemnt to their rock game, which I have yet to actually SEE them play. They used to play it everyday. The boys are having fun with their soccer ball. (I can hear them playing with it right now.) We also got a lot of candy, chocolate bars, Wonkas, that stuff. And I got a whole bunch of 3 musketeers, which I had been craving for a REALLY long time. Man, there is no chocolate like that here.
And we have, of course, been keeping up with the worldly news. Like Saddam Hussein's death sentence. And the Democrat victory in the mid-term. And the resignation of Donald Rumsfield.
Here, I find it amazing that they actually have a DVD player. A "Senegalese" DVD player anyway. That basically means that it works, but screws up a lot. So we have taken to watching the movies on the computer. We got a lot of movies from my uncle: All 6 Star Wars episodes, all 3 LOTR, Pirates of the Caribbean 1 (man, I wish Mommy got to America after Dead Man's Chest came out on DVD), Chicken Little, Monster House (LAME movie), and Cars. So we're having fun on the weekends.
Time for me to go now, people! Sorry I can't make this longer, but there's not much else to say. (That's how boring it is here!) See ya later!
