Days 148 -154

This picture requires a bit of explanation. Today for Math, Josiah had to graph his favorite summer indoor and outdoor activities.  First of all, I realize that Jojo is not going to be the next Rembrandt.  The kid strongly dislikes coloring and drawing, so this is his attempt.  So, for his indoor activities the first drawing is of a clone trooper helmet (he's hoping he gets one this summer), the second drawing is a pink Nintendo DS.........it belongs to his cousin Madison and even though he has his own he said it was too hard to color his black and blue Nintendo DS so that is why he drew and colored Madisons, the third is none other than TARGET....ha ha,  and in fourth we have a television with "Little Bill" which is why there is a black mark on there because he says Little Bill is black.  Then on the right we have the outdoor activities which include playing with his cousin Madison, swimming in his Tia Alex's pool, and playing soccer.

Yep, just what we need outside our apartment building..........a beer and dried fish kiosk.

No, it's not snow its called пух (pronounced like "pooh" but the h is voiced).  This lovely fuzzy stuff falls off Poplar trees and it is all over.  It is terrible for our allergies and I can't wear lip gloss outside otherwise it all flies straight to my lips.

Jojo is waiting for our elevator........he wanted to go run errands with me this day.

Jojo watching Clone Wars on the iPod.  And yes, he wore the same thing two days in a row.  When you live in a foreign country with no drying machine then you will understand.

This is Nathan's favorite book.  Jon has to read it to him every single night.  It's called "A Party For Pooh".  You see the blue present that Pooh is holding?  According to Nathan there is a "Herbie" car inside of it.  Then Nathan has to touch all the balloons and tell us what color each one is.  No kidding........every night. 

Nathan and his Southern "Belle" again.
