I have a lot to say, but I might not have the time to write everything today.
The kids are back home, it's nice to have them here again with us. We spent all yesterday kind of getting in the groove of things. We are now really pushing on the school work, and they are doing great. We have a lot planned this month, and there is a lot more that I want to do with them. There are two movies out Inkheart and Coraline this month that we have to go see, we would like to go out to a nice dinner one of these night, etc... So lots of things.
To be perfectly honest I'm hoping that they will not end up leaving at the end of the month, but that will be something we'll have to see about. I just miss them so much when they are not around.

I can't remember if I wrote about this, but I started working with a two year old, teaching him French. It's been going great, he is adorable and endearing, and he is already starting to get sad when I leave after taking care of him in the morning.
I discovered that I am truly a very typical French person... wanna know what he learned to say in French after my first week with him? OH LA LA ! Hmhm.... I'm not exactly proud. His mom loves it and says that's just the kind of thing that she adores, so that's always good.
And then to make sure that I understood just how French I am, we were listening to a CD (Putumayo French Cafe) and in it there is this song, Petit Francais by Polo where he talks about his grandmother catching sparrows, killing them, and staching them in the fridge so she could eat them later.... Guess what my mother did? Yeah... except they were pigeons. I remember being so proud as a kid during the summer when I was able to catch a pigeon and brough it to her... Not only that, but if we got baby pigeons, we would keep them in cage in order to fatten them before we ate them. The wonders of being raised by someone who lived through WWII in France. I'm a living stereotype!

School is doing well so far, there is a lot of homework and I'm keeping pretty much on top of it. Classes are fun as well, most of them are very interesting. I'm having issues with one of my classes as the teacher has a tendency to go into tangeants that last three quarters of the class. Hopefully reading the book will be enough for the tests and everything that I need.
I'm also having a fun time with my Intro to the Qur'an class, hopefully my teacher will not take any of what I say in a bad way and I will not fail the class. But there are a lot of things that are becoming frustrating to me in that class... so we'll have to see where that goes. Mostly people trying to explain god through words in eggplants, or women not being allowed to touch the Qur'an during their period due to antiquated rules... many other things, but I won't go in too much detail here, I'm already blogging about this for the class.

Anyways, back to class
