"are you going to paint your skin brown before you move to Africa?"


...oh, the adorable, RANDOM questions of a 5 year old! I was fixing Scarlett Paige some lunch and chatting with her when, out of the blue, she turned around and asked me this. And she was totally serious!! Still laughing hysterically...:)

This week has been awesome....my first week officially unemployed, being able to focus on only the important things before the move, and spending time with my family. These last several weeks are so precious, and I am cherishing the sweet and funny conversations, questions, etc - especially from the kids about life in Ethiopia.

Isabella (8 yrs old): "What are you going to eat over there?"
Me: "Well lots of the same things as here - chicken, beans, bread, pasta, spinach..."
Isabella: (pause) "But i thought they were starving in Africa because they didn't have food? Where are they hiding all the stuff you just said?"
