Today...

Here is the car we purchased yesterday...for those who might be interested in such things, it's a 1996 Toyota Kijang Super, which is a model only sold in Asia, I think. It has a bench in the middle, and then 2 benches on the sides in the back. DH took it on its first outing today - took our house guest and Evan and some other friends to the harbor to take a speed boat out to Bunaken and Siladen islands for snorkeling and an afternoon outreach meeting. Tomorrow another friend is watching our kids so DH and I can have a day to ourselves in town. Looking forward to that! Ok, this is the snake that my 3 year old found on our front door...his brother had been playing with a rubber snake earlier, and we thought that was what he was talking about...um, no. I know it's just a little guy, but it's a SNAKE. In my house. No.

Wish someone had had a video camera - we were all up on the chairs while one of the girls whacked at it with a broom...very very funny...

Guess that is enough adventure for one day! As far as the house help saga goes...I hope these girls will work out for a long while. They are doing great! House is cleaner after 2 hours than it has been in a good while.
