What Shall We Say On The Blog?

What shall we put in a blog post?

Aiden: Geography game
Mom found me an iPad game to practice my geography. I've been learning lots of countries and capitals by making our world puzzle over and over. Now I can practice in a new way.  Surprisingly, I know African countries the best. Then Asia.  Europe is the hardest because of all the tiny countries. We watched a video that told us Armenia facts.  We learned that Armenia have fountains all over for people to drink from so they don't have any bottled water. They also teach all their school children to play chess. It's the land of free water.

Jasmin: Turtle renovations on the balcony
We decided to try a new arrangement on the balcony for the turtles to have an outdoor space with water.  I started before supper, cleaning the drain area and partitioning off the part the plants are in.  I hope the plug will work so we can keep it full of water and still be able to drain it when it gets too dirty. I don't know if it will work, but this would give the turtles more space to swim around and be able to get the sunshine too.

Grace: Marshmallow cake experiments
Mom wanted a cake this evening, so Jasmin and I made one. I experimented, making my usual chocolate cake in the rice cooker, but with orange and marshmallow bits too. But first, I microwaved a marshmallow to test. It exploded! Since I was cleaning up supper and the exploded marshmallow, it was mostly me telling Jasmin what to put in, but I got to do some too. It cooked really fast - only two rice cooker cycles! It was very yummy. Sadly, you can't taste the orange or marshmallow all that much - except for the melted marshmallow pockets - you could taste some there. Still, it was really good - we ate it all already!

Mom: KL Trip
Next week we're on the move again. Dad is going to KL on Sunday for four days of classes. We will join him on Thursday after Mom gets the needed letter from the bank. On Friday we will hopefully - finally! - get our long term verses and we'll come home on Saturday. If it doesn't quite work that way, we'll stay the weekend and try again on Monday. So, we're working with some pretty flexible travel plans and a lot of travel in a few days. But hopefully it will be all done and we can truly settle in to life here.
