Construction on the outdoor kitchen seems to be at a standstill and the workers have left several piles of debris just begging to be turned into something amazing (I mean besides an amazing kitchen). The kids decided to create a playground. So far, they have made a passable teeter-totter, an art table with a basket full of “supplies”, hopscotch, and a chalkboard for playing pictionary. They were delighted to find the old bricks drew a chalk-like orange line, just where it was wanted. Unfortunately, the brick drawing was cut short by a young man in a dark suit who repeatedly uttered the mysterious warning, “do not finish, do not finish.” It was another one of those times that I wish I spoke fluent Vietnamese. We got the message, and quit with the bricks, but I do wonder what he meant exactly…

Got back from Katrina's and enjoy reading your entire blog and catch up on the entries yo made while I was there. Isn't is wonderful to have such imaginative children, when given a pile of bricks can create a playground. That fellow was probably just wishing he was so clever :)

So creative and hey, whatever entertains a child works for me!
Maggie's hair is getting so dark. Miya is super excited to see her at Christmas and find lots of things for them to do together!
I always thought your kids were very creative. When is your last day in vietnam? Please check your email. I am sending a care package as soon as you let me know that it's ok. Love you.
