Princess Isabelle

Last Friday Isabelle went to our neighbor's birthday party. One of the things that they did was dress up in tissue paper costumes. Isabelle was quite proud of hers.
We have been staying very busy with school. We have one week of classes left. Monday is our review day, and then the next four days are exams.
On Thanksgiving, we had classes as usual. In the evening, I made a small Thanksgiving dinner. We had 3 of the Bible school students and one of our neighbors over to eat with us. Then on Saturday we had a Thanksgiving potluck with all of the language school students.
I will post more pictures and updates while we are on our break.

Cooking with Caleb

Caleb loves to help me cook. There are many things he can't help me with (anything involving hot or sharp objects.), but he does love to help make bread. Last week we made Pumpkin Bread together. It turned out very good even if the flour was on the table, the chair, the floor and Caleb!

Haircuts

In the past, I have had someone else cut Ian's and Caleb's hair. I decided I should try to start learning. It is a little too complicated for my limited language skills (trying to explain what I want their hair to look like to a barber or stylist.) I'm sure I could probably find someone who speaks English, or at least manage to get the main point across. But when we go to Africa, I will definitely need to know how to do it myself.
I borrowed some clippers from a neighbor, and much to my surprise, it went well. Ian wanted to be bald, like a bald eagle. I didn't let him do that, but we did get it pretty short. I just cut both of their hair short all over. That should be perfect for Africa!

Quebec City

Isabelle and I are looking at a display at the museum of chocolate.

This is the restaurant where we ate lunch.

Halloween Pictures

Halloween was different for us this year. The kids weren't allowed to dress-up for school (or bring candy to school.) It barely even seemed like Halloween.
In the evening we went to a "reformation party" that the Baptist church was having. The kids picked their outfits out of the dress-up box, and we let them wear what they wanted. They all had a great time.
