last week of vacation: rain

august 9 2007

It's pouring again.
I can't believe the children aren't granted even a complete week of sun.

I feel so sorry for them.

One of the girls went with her dad to work.
She's a small pretty thing, with a broad smile. People like to give her sweeties and cakes.
At this time of year there's a computer available, so she can play around with "paint", write little stories to print, and do online educational games.
She needs to do a bit of catch up on grammar and calculation, and she loves to do the educational games.
No problem there.

The other girl is at home.
Her room is made into a barbie paradise by now.

At the beginning of the vacation the girls got a casefull, literally, of real barbies and accessories.
Can't believe someone just gave them away.
She told us they were her daughters and if we wouldn't accept it, it would go to the waste.

So both girls...and the boys, have something to do today.

But it would have been better to have sun.
It looks like evening here. Ugh!
