On Monday, since there was no school, so I took all the girls to the mall! This of course after I stopped in and upgraded our cellphones. Then we went to lunch at Buffet King, a Chinese/American food buffet. The food was good. We spent several hours at the mall going through stores and just looking around. Then it was time for Kali and Kaci to try on clothes just for fun! Of course I came away with an outfit for Kaci that she just won't get for he birthday.
Kali and Kaci each had their own money to spend and did pretty well. Vivian enjoyed looking around at all the stuff. We stopped for lattes and hot chocolate and joked around a lot.
After the mall we headed over to Sam's club to pick up some snacks for Kaci and Kole to take to school the next day.
On Wednesday Vivian went home with a friend from school and then to a youth group get together at her friend's church. I was not worried with this at all since the girl is the daughter of a friend of mine who used to watch my girls before and after school a few years ago. Vivian will be going to this every Wednesday.
Most of the week was pretty normal with school work and just trying to keep up. On Thursday we went to the first home volleyball game to see some of ours and Vivian's new friends play. VERY Good game! Of course our team won! YEAH!
Friday we kind of hung out here at home and watched TV and played around with downloading music. It was supposed to rain.
Saturday (today) I took the two youngest, Kaci and Kole to the doctor. They had been coughing for about a week. So in we went. An hour and a half later Kaci has bronchitis and a wheeze and Kole has bronchitis and a sinus infection! Great! The first week of school and harvesting started so there you have it!
Tomorrow we are going to an Exchange student host family/student orientation cookout. It should be a lot of fun! There is going to be about 75 - 100 people there!
I think Kali wants to start attending the youth group at the christian church on Sunday evenings and we thought about having Vivian attend some for her age group. That is entirely up to her.
We are really enjoying having Vivian with our family this school year! Each week a little more of her personality comes out and she is becoming more relaxed.
On Thursday, at the volleyball game at the school, one her teachers told me how wonderful it was for her to have Vivian in her class and complimented Vivian on her English capabilities. The teacher said that Vivian was one of the few exchange students she has taught to actually apply the English effectively that she has learned prior to becoming an Exchange student.
Well, that's all for now! Hopefully tomorrow I will have some photos to share.
