English Anyone?

Last week the kids helped teach English at a local school.  They had a lot of fun!

Here's the group of English teachers!

I observed Seth's class, which was first grade.  Unfortunately, I didn't get to take pictures of the other two boys.  Here is what Seth's class did...

Introducing themselves to the kids.

Look at this little cutie!

Seth helps a little boy make his "spider" for "The Itsy Bitsy Spider."

This cute boy seems to have lost his spider.

Writing lyrics on the whiteboard.

Playing a game of "Memory"

"Bye!  Thanks for coming!"

Our boys enjoyed the kids and the kids definitely enjoyed getting to meet some "real" English speakers!

Last Monday was Chinese New Year.  Even McDonalds got in on the action!

A Clammy Story

One day, there was a homeschool mom and her crew of students who decided to start "Peace Project." They lived in a neighborhood called "Peace" and decided to pray for the neighborhood and meet as many people as they could.  They also decided to stop every street vendor to learn who they were and what they sold.  First to come by was the vegetable seller.  So the Kelley Crew bought tomatoes, oranges and a bag of...clams.  

How do you cook clams?  The vegetable seller said, "Oh that's easy!"

Just boil some water...

With a little salt...

Wash the clams (she didn't mention how dirty they were)...

Put them in the boiling water...

for ten minutes...

And there you have it...

A cooked clam!

With a little ketchup mixed with sambal (hot sauce)...

They taste...

Eddy wants some...

because they taste...

well, they taste...

Well, yes, they do taste.  But mostly we just covered them in ketchup, so I can't really vouch for how they tasted.   But we did get to know the vegetable seller!

Whatever you do, don't pararel park.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!  Last night we joined with friends to welcome the New Year.  We ate goodies, visited, played charades and enjoyed fireworks.

Then we went home and enjoyed watching the neighborhood fireworks from our own second floor terrace.  Just after midnight we lit sparklers.  I don't know if we enjoyed the sparklers or taking pictures of the sparklers more!  Here are a few:
