Boy Stuff

 
The contents of Boaz's pockets.  Things he collected throughout the day.  He went through a stage where he would only wear pants with pockets so he had a place to put all of his interesting findings.  I have to check every pocket well before putting clothes in the washing machine. The only thing that gets me is when I find fruit that they picked in the orchard left in the pocket from a few days before...YUCK!


And then...we got a grass skirt from the Baka that they use for traditional dancing.  Nandry had fun dressing the boys up in it. 


Le me introduce you to the Animal Whisperer with his chameleon and squirrel friends.  How does he do it?


An Important Day: March 29th

Asher's birthday!  This year my baby turned 8.  How is this happening so quickly?  One of the traditions we have for the boy's birthdays in Cameroon is having games outside with our neighbors.  Water balloons are always the favorite! 
 


Nathan and I spent the day cake decorating.  Can you guess our theme?



We had a double party and celebrated Heidi's birthday as well (on the 30th).  I think she got to blow out some candles too. 


One of the coolest Lego party games that I googled was this pass and create a masterpiece activity.  We all had bowls of Legos in front of us, and 1 minute to start to build something.  Then, when a minute was up, each person passed their creation to the next person on the right and now had to add on to the creation that was passed to them.  After a few rounds of passing the Lego creations, we stopped and each person got to use their imagination to name and explain the accumulated creation that were currently holding in their hands.
 

Did you notice Boaz's little buddy on his shoulder?
