This weeks "I can't believe they do that!"

Our gardner had the maintance guy use the community lawnmower!! Yes that is what it is!! And this is how they plug it in!!! Our power kept going off and on off and on, at one point it was out, flat, nothing. So Jason goes to see what's going on and they are tring to hard wire it into our main box!!! Needless to say Jason put a stop to it, but it really screwed up my nap!

This weeks traffic picture

There are no laws about riding in a vehicle here, so this inevitably brings us to the things people do! This is not a big truck. It is the size of one of the old toyota pickups! I think it had more than 30 people in it!

Fun trip!!

Here are the elephant pictures from Jason facebook post. We went to Mysore. A palace here in India. Most of the boys did good on the 4 hour trip. (Not my back) Found the most delectable hot chocolate and chocolate muffins, and the All the boys had a great Elephant ride. When they put the baby on I totally missed his *HOLY HELL THEY WANT ME TO DO WHAT!!!! look. It was great. Rich is a collegue of Jasons from Novell. He was here on business and we convinced him to go with us. At the end of the elephant ride the elephant kept bugging Jason and the driver said he want's his tip! So Jason gave one of the boys 30 rupees, the elephant took it with his trunk and gave it to the driver!!! It was great!

Watch for Nathan's first day of school post on Monday!!!!

So many crazy things!

There are so many things about India that are so far out of the ordinary I just have to share them!! The last picture is on a sign painted on all trucks that carry explosive material. I don't think they know what this word means. It says Highly inflammable!! This is a gasoline truck! The middle picture is another sign on a truck right above the tail light, all trucks have it. It says "Stop signal"!! The first picture is of an electrical box at our drivers home!!

Jason's birthday!

Jason and the boys enjoyed this birthday immensely!!

Our 15th Anniversary

Jason put in so much work! It has been a long time since he has been able to pull off a suprise of this magnitude. I felt like a princess all night. The funniest part of the whole thing was our dinner cost more than our couples massage!!

From Jason: I love my wife. We had so much fun! And couples massages are a fun date!

Xander decided to get in on the action just a couple of days after Zack!! This time I glued it and put a butterfly on. Worked great. Guess boys will be boys!

Our new friend

This is our little friend Mr. Gecko. He has lived with us for about a week. Tonight is the first time Zack and Nate had seen him. Zack was scared and asked if I let him in the house. I said no, and then nathan said no I did. I was joking with Nathan and said what he knocked and you let him in. He said no. Then he said "No mom I was comming in the house and I openned the door and he followed me in." It was so funny!!

Our Friend

On a sad note today, Zackary fell on the playground during our PTC this morning and had to get his first set of stitches. The funny thing was the Dr. at the infirmary left it up to me whether I wanted to stitch it or to take him to the clinic for it!!! I chose the clinic because it was so close to his eye. Sad day.

Poor Nathan

On our Novell getaway, Nathan was running and biffed it hard, dirt in the mouth and everything. He "was dying" all the way back to the hotel. I wasn't sure he was going to make it, but he did! I am so proud of him!! (dripping sarcasm)He only had a scraped knee and a scraped elbow.

This is two funny!!!

Jason's special thing with the boys, when they are little, is to teach them their body parts and then when they are old enough he moves on to address and phone number. I guess Xander had an extra body part!! Love you JC. (Xander knows all his body parts, he didn't want to do what daddy said while filming, total snob star!)

Weekend gettaway with Novell

To see the videos you have to pause the page turning or you won't get to see the whole video. We had a very good time. They served Indian food, but the coordinator of the trip had them make a special dish for us at each meal. It was very good! The bus ride was long, we went up the side of a mountain with more than 20 hair pin curves in a tour bus!! We had a couple of close calls, like when other buses wanted to come the other direction! Hope you enjoy.
