Things a Mother Might Ask » Adventure in Africa

My Youngest Boy

Well, the picture says it all! It seems my sons have not overcome their addiction to toilet paper.

My youngest son wanted to make a “skeleton” suit! I have no clue where he gets these ideas but I am quite thankful that he has a great imagination.

Back in Africa

Finally a chance to post, I am back in Freetown for about a month. I’ve been meeting a lot of different people from literally all over the world. My husbands job makes it possible for these wonderful opportunities. We went to a different beach last Sunday. We enjoyed it til the rain came but even then it was still nice. More to come unless rainy season sees fit to ruin every weekend!

Leaving for Sierra Leone

It was a nice brisk day and the Habbal household was preparing to depart for an overseas adventure. Sticky traps for the nice little critters that like to hibernate in the winter in the house. Thermostat set, everything that can be unplugged done. Had to pack light as usual since Jet Blue only allows ONE checked bag per person that also meant upon our return I would have to choose gifts to bring back very carefully since space was now an issue.

On the road to Syracuse, Tesia’s dad Lee drove us which was very kind of him, I checked a message that I had not seen. It was from Omie’s teacher. He convienantly forgot his set of paperwork in his cubby. Little sneaky boy. We had made arrangements with the school to take the boys school work with us since we were going to be gone for a couple of months.

Well that’s about it for now. Goodbye Edwards and Family and Friends and all the stuff in between. I will keep a log of my adventures but internet is not very reliable there so probably I will have to post everything when I get back. That should be loads of fun!

Coconut Day

Today was full of exciting things around our little villa. The guys to pick the coconuts came and I was very very very happy! It was amazing how they scaled the tree so very quickly and before you knew it, the dead leaves were trimmed and loads of coconuts were at our feet.

As we watched them on the first tree, we were getting anxious to taste the inside of these little goodies. I forgot to take a picture of the inside but trust me when I say, I have plenty left over and I will put up that up with the rest of my pictures on Flickr! Enjoy!
