and the thunder rolls

Where did this week go? It was full of LONG school days, nurturing parrots, a little bit of exercise, some skype calls, and always some firsts. 
Around the dinner table on Wednesday the discussion was about the bird aviary that Austin is going to build. part of conversations here are in English the other part in in Kui (the native language). And when one of the kids raised a concern about the aviary and the coconuts falling from the tree in Kui they were shocked when they realized I had answered the concern.
Thursday was a rough school day the kids did not finish until after dinner!
 Since it was girls night on dishes and Hailey was still doing school Logan and I did the dishes. He had a blast! We made lots of bubbles, splashed around, and eventually finished washing all of the dishes. When I was walking downstairs to my room in the dark all of the sudden there was a rather large splat type noise. I actually had a flashlight with me and was able to see that it was one of the large geckos that had fallen from the roof and landed just next to me! Kim had one fall right behind her the night before. 
Today I watched someone climb one of our coconut trees to gather the coconuts. The kids flew through school and we got to have a nice relaxing evening.listening to the thunder.

This is my parrot Peter.
 
Since this picture his eyes have opened!
