New found mission

One of my "addictions" during fall and winter are smores. I LOVE smores, but recently I was talking to my sister and I said something about eating smores, "what is that?" she said. How could I forget! people haven't discovered smores in Costa Rica!!! I tried them here for the first time. So I decided that on my next trip home my mission will be to spread the word, to enrich people's lives.... I may start a new business down there, I would have little fire pits on each table and let people roast their own marshmallows!!

Changing the subject, this is a touchy one. But I'm really tired of the homeschooling pressure, many of my friends homeschool their kids, and that's great for them, but it really isn't for me, plus I don't see the need to homeschool here, however, they have a way of making me feel like they're better moms because they homeschool. Subtly they comment about the "terrible" school system and the horrible morals the kids will be exposed to in school. Every time I just listen and nod, they already know I'm not going to homeschool, but they keep trying to change my mind. I guess I get mad at myself for not saying anything, like why I won't homeschool, but I don't say anything because I don't want to offend them. Anyways, I better get back to my smores propagation plan.

Tick and tack still alive!

A couple days ago I was cleaning the floor with windex, I read that windex would get orange glo off my floor, (orange glo big mistake) so I spent hours on the floor with a bottle of windex in my hand, at the end of the day I noticed that tick and tack (Jake's goldfish) had red spots all over. I got on the internet and found out it was due to the anmonia in windex. I thought we were going to have our first goldfish funeral but they're back to normal!
I've been thinking about getting a dog, but I don't know if the kids are too little, do I want an outdoor dog or indoor? big or small? too many questions. Plus Mr. Rider says I have to prove I can take care of the goldfish first before graduating to bigger pets. Maybe a turtle will be next...I killed a turtle once, not intentionally of course.
Well, Ethan is not taking afternoon naps anymore, I knew this day was coming but not so soon. He's 2 and 5 months!! I still make him stay in his room for about 1 hour though. I keep trying to put him down hoping he'll go back to his old ways.
And Jake always thinking and asking questions, about God, Heaven, etc. all the time!! Today he asked if God sleeps, I told him the Bible said He rested after creation, then he said did He close His eyes? I try to be patient but after 400 questions a day I get delirious. Some questions are really funny though. I'll miss him when he goes to Kindergarten, but right now I really appreciate times of silence.

Watch this!

You have to see this video, I don't know how to do links, sorry!

On a different note, my sister called me today to tell me that Ray Rhoton missionary in Costa Rica (I grew up with him, he was the missionaries' son in Costa Rica and went to BBC) and his wife got a called yesterday, they can't have kids, so they have been trying to adopt, a man called them to tell them that a woman from an island off the cost of Panama was going to leave her little 2 month old baby in the middle of the jungle or throw her in the ocean. She couldn't take care of the baby and apparently that's what they do when can't take care of a baby or simply don't want anymore!! Ray of course flew there the next day and now has the little girl. I can't wait to see her pic! What a blessing!
