Everyday has been great, but today, some things clicked. This is the day I want to remember when we have rough days. There are 6 of us learning each other, so rough days are a matter of when... not if.
We played outside this morning on the swings and some soccer. Then the social workers came to do a visit. We are going to be in the foster home until the 21st then probably move to an apartment in the region here. Court is on the 30th.
We took a trip to Karford this afternoon. It is the Polish equivalent to a grocery store. We took all the kids. The two older boys had earned some money, so they bought some things. We made it out of there with all our groceries, 2 match box cars and 2 pieces of chocolate, and all 4 kids. Not bad for our first trip.
We went to McDonalds for lunch at 3:30. When I realized the time, I was surprised that we didn't have a melt down in the grocery.
After lunch, we came back to the house and went to the park. The park is a 2 mile walk from the house, and 2 miles back. All 4 kids made the trip without complaining... I was so impressed.
Today was the first day without any computer time! YAY! It can be done!
Continue saying prayers for our bonding and attachment.
P.S. #3's first English words were "Catch me!" That pretty much sums up our time with him.
Here is an awesome picture of me getting bitten by the kitten "Bestia" in the playroom.
And this was the other picture I could quickly find that didn't have pictures of the kids. It is their built in shelving in the hall... Pretty amazing!
