Donuts, Avocadoes and Bubbles

 

A craving for donuts... and Naomi wants to help!

I've never seen so many piles of bubbles!

The girls always have fun with chalk!

Whoa! never seen an avocado this big and this delicious before either!!

Jacob's work projects

 

The oven in this apartment or flat exploded, at least the glass exploded out the front of it. So we had to put a new oven in and the one we had available was bigger. I'm thankful to have a more normal size oven in this apartment for the families! But it meant that the cupboard had to be removed and replaced. Jacob was happy to do this as he has wanted to try out an idea he has been working on for awhile. A cupboard and counter that is termite proof and mold proof. :)

The counter top is made of metal and painted with a paint sprayer. The wood is all hard wood.

The cupboards sides are also made of metal.

There will be one more drawer to come as well as a cupboard door and a bookshelf to go in on the back right. So far the families that have used it have said it is a good set up.

There is a drawer inside the drawer that you push back to find the things under it. And this drawer actually pushes out the other side so you can easily set the table. :)

As part of our decor renovations to the guesthouse Jacob is inserting shelves in this mantel with fake fireplace. This will be a place where we can hide/store the kids toys.

The kids will have fun going in to find their toys. And also enjoy putting them back in there too. :)

Guesthouse Fun

 

Making Lasagna for Central Conference - cooking for 130

Having friends over to the guesthouse while mom cooks supper.

We hosted lunches for a few workshops, cooking for 14-25 people.

School Activities and Sports Fun

 

School Spirit day - blue and white dress up day - exciting times!

School Pet day for Naomi's 1st grade class

Crazy Country day for Naomi's class

We started watching NFL Game pass every Sunday afternoon.... but we have been greatly saddened by the Patriots games... not many wins yet.

Naomi has "box" seats for the game. :)

Pattern dress up day at school

Drama class is one of our kids favorite classes this year!

Hockey time! Every Sunday evening there is roller hockey and for some weeks there wasn't an official game so Naomi and Jonathan got to learn more roller hockey skills.... here they are off to play.

Naomi enjoys Technology class and is learning how to type too!

Campfires, Muna Beatles and Independence Day

 

Usually every September rainy season begins and the Muna beetles come out of the ground. There are thousands of them. The people here catch them and fry them up to eat for dinner. So we try it again every year. This was Jonathan's first time trying one! Not bad he says!

The legs and heads need to come off first before you cook them.

We have been enjoying a campfire each Saturday. And some of us heat our waffles on the campfire. And Jacob always cooks sausage for us to enjoy too.

Happy 48th year of Independence to PNG! I enjoy working with Georgie, Rumbi and Fiona each day!
