Sain yy?

Hello to all my fellow readers. I have been told recently that I need to update my blog. I am sorry to all those who read this, I have been terrible at keeping up with my blog. Anywho, I'll just update on 'recent' events.

This week being Valentine's, I had a Valentine's Day party with my Children's Club. We actually had to clubs come to the party and there were about 40ish kids. It was a great turn out!! I was in charge of the whole thing and planned a bunch of fun games for the kids. We played 'musical chairs' instead of a cake walk. (the morning of I made a cake in my rice cooker, yes it is possible, but it fell apart....so we just gave phone units away instead) Other activities included: making valentine's cards, tag (vday style), honey if you love me, relay race, and an apple passing game. I am pretty sure the kids enjoyed themselves. We gave out a lot of candy, so that might be why :)

Today it is Friday!! I came to work expecting a typically day and walking into a zoo. Literally. There is a traveling zoo at my work. Our big room is filled with cages of all shapes and sizes...some of which I am worried whether or not they will stay together. The animals include: a variety of birds, hen, rooster, 2 ducks, eagle, hamster, mouse, snake, spider, 2 wolves, a monkey, turtles, and a couple of other animals. I was a bit shocked seeing this in my work building. However, the kids love it. There have been kids coming and going all day. Makes me happy for our zoos in America. Those animals have it great!

Tomorrow I am having a gadaa hoon bayar, a foreigner party, at my ger. I am really looking forward to it! Here in my town we have a lot of foreigners who live here. Other then the other PC Americans we have two Koreans, two Germanys, one Japanese lady, and a Dutch lady. I am going to have them all over my ger for SKYLINE!! Yes, ladies and gents skyline is in Mongolia! Thanks to numerous friends and family!! I have save up the cans that have been shipped and my fellow PCV friend has brought CHEESE from the capital. (I miss cheese) It is going to be a great time.

Ok well I hope that this has been a good enough update for y'all out there. I will try to do better in the future!!

Peace and Love,

Brittany
