Doug and I had the opportunity to get away for a night and head to Nelspruit, South Africa for one night . . . childless!! That in a nutshell is no small task here. It is not like I could call up Nana or Grammy and ask if they could come and stay with the kids or we could send them there. Luckily we have some amazing missionary friends (which are like family here) who piched in to help. Kylea went to school, and Charles and Judy (our neighbors upstairs) picked her up and brought her home. The boys we dropped off with our friends the Allens (another american missionary family here with the Southern Baptists). We had Alice, who is a graduate/intern at the college and church come in the evening to stay and watch the kids. She is from South Africa and the kids adore her.
We got home on Saturday and quickly made a pita pizza for Doug and I since we missed dinner. As I was cutting up the salami (the closest thing we can get to pepperoni), and ham I noticed that the meat had not been opened yet. I asked Kaden what kind of pita pizza Miss Alice made him and he told me "a salami pizza". I thought that was not possible since the package was still sealed when I opened it. I looked in the fridge and noticed that the polony was half gone and asked what the package looked like that the salami came from and the kids told me it was red. When I pulled out the polony they said that was the one, oh I just about gagged!! OK, so polony is a "meat" that the swazi people like here, it is cheap and almost like a loose form of bolony except flourescent pink, yuck! It comes in a tube and you have to cut of the slices. I only have it for our house helper for lunch, if I don't have anything else for her.
So Kaden had a polony pita pizza, and liked it!
Some of our American missionary friends we hang with
Some of the cool MK's the kids are buds with!
