A little Bit Haitian

I think it is official we are becoming a little bit Haitian. We have been without power for quite a while and survived. Until today when SF's feeding pump went out. Then the Mama Bear had to come out and get things taken care of. The people of Haiti are already a little curious why we don't feed "the golden ticket", imagine when I told them she would starve if they did not fix our power situation. Lets just say we have power again :)

In the mean time, we have gone to bed at 8:15 after dying of boredom for too many nights and now I will be catching up on the blog. So sorry in advance for all the posts!

This kid is more than a little Haitian.

He dumps out the shoe bucket in the pitch dark with his little flashlight to find his shoes. In fact, he has been having a blast roaming the house with the stinkin flashlight at all hours of the night. (I wish the flash did not go off on my camera to do this picture justice).

He can be found sleeping on the floor at times.

And he uses the bathroom wherever he pleases.

One day this week, mind you it was laundry day and all the clean laundry was out to dry, they were burning the field next our house. We went up on the roof to get a better look. Sure enough smoke was billowing up and onto the clean clothes.

So the kids made paper airplanes out of their completed homework and aimed for the fire. CT made it in a few times!

This week the rest of the household talked me into giving the dog to our guard who was elated. Now I am stuck with this cat who thinks she is a dog anyway.

The other night Justin was reading this book in bed only to turn it over and find this tiny, squished, dead lizard stuck on it! I guess better there than in my bed.

As our power was out most of the week, the water pump would not work so we had to fish water out of the pit under the house. Roselie is an expert.

She is also the expert laundry doer. Although this week she had a lot of help. One thing is for sure, they have the Haitian squat down!

Also a little Haitian. Sometimes the little people who are thinking about potty training do not wear pants. It is just a lot less to clean up. And sometimes they do not get their underwear on correctly either, but really nobody cares here.
