And still waiting........

Today is exactly one week from our paper filing, if what our facilitator told us is true and they are counting the weekend days as well as working days we should receive an answer on our court date today-we however have learned not to expect the court system to work on our schedule.

Yesterday we bought the boys shoes, jackets and hats at the Bazaar. We would have liked to walk around and look at things but our facilitator was on a mission to complete our task and move on. It turned out for the better as we went to lunch and then were able to take the kids to a park that had fair style rides.

We went from attraction to attraction, each one bringing more and more appreciation for the safety standards we have come to know and love back home. The girls had stayed home in the morning and met us at the park later in the day. When they arrived I tried to explain to Jessica that the ride were more intimidating then we were used to- she kept telling me that she had gone to the fair and was prepared, again I tried to explain but she kept insisting she knew what I was talking about- until she got on her first attraction and realized they did not have seat belts and the only thing keeping her from flying off the attraction was a thin piece of netting which her head repeatedly hit as the ride went round and round and up and down. We did have a wonderful time and ended our day with dinner at Mario's. We didn't find out however until we were there that the director was waiting for the boys return at the internate. We had asked if we needed to have them back by a specific time but apparently it was lost in translation, a lot of things seem to get lost in translation with us.
