After attending church and sharing several plates of lelenga with our neighbors, it was time for laundry. Our clothes are really sweaty and REALLY stinky by the end of the day, so we don't like to skip a day of washing clothes. Katherine and Olivia did a great job of singing and pretending to be a washing machine while they worked.
Katherine really enjoys playing in the water, although most people around here don't use the ocean for a playground. It's more useful as a toilet and trash removal system. Therefore, we carefully follow the tides and only swim at low tide when the water is pulling away from the shore!
While she swam, Aaron sat on the shore and studied. He kept an eye on Katherine while getting in some good introvert time.
Olivia helped watch a little one (one of Marulaon's many twins) while his mama worked. Olivia's big heart is compassionate toward all living things: babies, plants, and especially animals.
Sarah has joined Marulaon's young ladies' soccer team. They practiced for several hours today, and I went out and cheered them on for a little while. I've been appointed the team mom, so I brought out some cold kool-aid to give them a little bit of refreshment in the heat of the day.
When I returned to the house, I found Katherine and Olivia playing with a group of girls in the shade of our house. They were smart to find shade on this blazing hot and sunny day!
These girls are spunky and all in between Katherine and Olivia's age. I love watching the girls, my own and my neighbor's girls, blossom as their personalities pop!
They played game after game until it was time for my children to come in and shower before church.
What a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, working and playing wholeheartedly for the Lord!
