Friday Phrases

Wow, I can't believe it is already Friday again!  So this week has been really fun.  We went snorkeling on Thursday (this is a tradition) and we didn't really see anything to crazy, but of course it was really fun.  After that we went sailing.  One of my friends is a member of the sailing club so she can take the boats out anytime with two other people.  So we hopped on a sail boat and had so much fun.  I had never been on one before, but it was great.  This morning we had a big breakfast for one of the girls here.  She is leaving next week.  Her husband is a 4th semester, but she is going home to get a place to live and find a job.  So we got together to tell her goodbye.  When I got home from breakfast, I turned on the water to wash my hands and there was no water!  And I am not exaggerating.  Last night we had the biggest rain storm we have see here.  They say they get worse, but it RAINED HARD all night, the power went out, there was so much thunder and lightening, it was crazy.  So I have since found out that when it rains that hard here, the runoff fills the water system which is a lake, with dirty water.  So what they do is turn off ALL the water until it is clean again.  They run the water through a filter system of sorts.  But they have to wait for all the water to run off the mountain and the lake to get clean again before they start filtering it again.  So we had a recalling moment today, the kind you have when the power goes out.  When you think to yourself, "oh the power is out, that's okay, I'll just watch a movie, or I will just warm up leftovers.  Anyway you get the idea, I didn't really think about it, but the toilet won't flush, you can't wash your hands, there is no water to cook with, basically THERE IS NO WATER!!!  So naturally I made a mad dash to Tina's (the grocery store) for water, well looks like everyone else had that same idea, no water.  I ran to another store and luckily they had some.  At the second store I ran into a friend that told me they had gotten a bucket and caught all the runoff from their roof, and that is what they were using for the toilet.  Good idea, who wants to use good drinking water for the toilet???  But then again who wants to catch dirty water for the toilet either.  So I talked to Erick at lunch and he's suggestion was that He and Kyler would just go to the bathroom outside.  Well that doesn't solve my problem, since Bryn and I and not jumping on that boat!  Oh well I am just hoping the water is back on tonight!  Oh and by the way the power and internet have been out a lot here lately and our vonage doesn't work without the internet, just in case you were wondering.

For the week in Phrases:

Kyler:

He learned in church last week to say, "I like Tiger woods"  So sunday when the tournament was on, he watched with Erick and he was YELLING, "I like Tiger Woods,  Go Tiger Woods", and then when he would hit he would yell, "he did it!"  The funny thing was he was saying it for ever golfer on TV.  So Erick taught him that Tiger Woods was the one in the red shirt, only he wasn't the only one is red that day.  A little confusing. 

On Monday night Kyler Prayed, "Please bless my mosquito bites."  It was so cute, because he got eaten alive Sunday night because our power was off so we had the doors open for a little while, and he was not liking all the bites.

Bryn:

She told my dad, "either my teacher is a girl or a boy- because she kind of looks like a boy."  I hope she never tells MRS. Cools that.

Bryn also got eaten alive by mosquitos, and the other day I found her putting medicine on all her bites, she was nervous that she was in trouble, but when I just told her if she needed any help to come get me, she relaxed.  A few minutes later when I couldn't hear Kyler so I went looking for him, I found him in the Dr. Bed being taken care of by nurse Bryn.  She was COVERING his bites with medicine.  When I came in, she said, "I think we need more mom."  The medicine was almost gone.
