So, Terra and I were brushing our teeth last night when we heard some commotion and what sounded like a stick being banged on a rock or something. We peeked outside and saw Loi (the houselady) holding a giant stick above her head and smashing it down on some kind of creature while Gertrude (a girl who stays in the house) was holding a flashlight for her. At first, we thought it was a huge snake. Then, when we looked closer we saw more of a body, not just the tail. It was covered in scales that were like armor, and Loi just kept beating it over and over with the gigantic stick because it absolutely would not die.In the end, Terra and I decided it kind of resembled an armadillo, but we're still not sure because neither of us have seen an armadillo before. Some sort of armored scary creature that had apparently been terrorizing the chickens and just happened to sneak up on Loi at night. Bad move on his part, I have to say. Loi is a tough woman. Anywho, we took some pictures, but unfortunately I don't have them with me. Oh, Africa, I love you. Never a dull moment.
The greatest news in the world is that we got some of our beds delivered for the kids!!!! We still don't have all of them, but it's a start and it is beyond exciting. The kids (and us) were freaking out when they arrived. I've posted some pictures below, but it keeps changing the order when I publish the blog, so I'll just say what they are and you can match it.Pictures AND a matching game! What fun! The bed pictures are obvious, then there's a picture of Waiswa when he fell asleep really awkwardly between my legs. So cute. Also, there's Sanga and I (I wrote about her before)aaaaand...to be honest I can't remember what the other picture is and I can't see it right now. The whole computer just crashed so I'm going to publish this really quickly before I'm forced to go home and drown myself in frustration. Oh yeah, and sorry if one of the pictures is sideways. You know how it is *sigh*.
Otherwise, life is great here! Really REALLY hot, but great. Stay tuned for more fabulous adventures and occurences...oh, the suspense!
