Birds and Bathing Lotions

Bathing Lotions
On Saturday we were heading out to Kawere Village and I was packing up some muffins for the road and some other things for the kids when Lily says, "Mama, little girls only swim in their underwear!" I was a little confused but not surprised by the randomness of this statement. I then proceeded to ask several questions. In the end, Lily tells me that only little girls swim in their underwear and that this bottle can only be used by little girls because there is a little girl on it and it is pink and purple! Lily was referring to the Water Babies suntan lotion that we put on them everyday! I laughed and told her that everyone can use that lotion and that little girls swim in bathing suits or in South Africa they call them swim costumes and bathing lotions! Hilarious.

Birds

After much debating, Kendall opened the cage that he built in order to let the doves go free. He opened the cage and they did not budge. So, he proceeded to evict the birds with the threat of the broom! They flew out of the cage to the top of our gazebo, then 20 minutes later to our roof. After much contemplation by the birds they decided to "fly the coop" and venture out. We were happy. Then as I was leaving to go to the market, Zeria says, "LOOK AT THE WALL!!" There they were...our new pets. Lily then exclaims.."Swing n bug are back!" Yes...Lily has named the birds Swing and Bug. If you ask her why she named them that she says because Swing likes to swing and Bug likes to eat bugs! Yup...I mean DUH MOM!! Well an hour later, Swing comes back to the carport looking for her cage. Kendall and I move the cage back to the carport so that she could eat and hide out from the incoming rain. So our entertainment around here has increased because Swing flies away for a while and comes back! It is so neat! We don't know if Bug will return but Swing is apart of the family now! More Swing updates later!
