We played outside some more, did games like "simon says", duck duck goose "or 'dah dah gess" since they can't pronounce it :) We then went back inside to play with the 1st graders and they did a little choreographed dance for us.
The guys installed a bunch of lights today while the girls played w/ the kids. the doors were delivered today too and the windows have been ordered. We then left to come back to Tiraspool, where we were going to spend an evening with the transition students. We made grilled chicken salad with ranch dressing (something they've never had), sweet tea (something they've never had) and banana pudding for dessert. It came out perfect and they all loved it. They made us these delicious 'things' called "placinta" ("plah-seen-ta"). It was a dough w/ cheese, dill & other stuff inside. VERY "fcoosna" (delicious).
After dinner, they made me sing, acapella, in front of everyone, and I was totally embarrassed (Yes, I would rather sing in front of a crowd of thousands, than sing in a small room with all these faces staring RIGHT at you with NO music). But, I survived I guess.
We then played this game called "Mrs. Mumble" and we taught them how to play pictionary. Anna & Kari & Chris, got to go meet with some judge who is a friend of Marc (our host) to get some more information about their adoptions. It's literally unheard of, for an American to adopt a child from Transistria, there's soooo much legal red-tape and it's so difficult. They've been on a wild goose chase all week just to get more information about adopting.
Right now, we're taking an email break. It's 9:40 PM our time, and 2:40 PM EST. Here are a few pics, out of order... some of our orphan friends, and random pics from today :)
