Picture Frames

I know you are all wondering about our driver and his broken foot.  Well, I went out to the van and there was no cast.  I asked Mr. Xue if he was ok and he said yes.  Ok, whatever.  Later in the morning Mr. Xue had to help me carry in all the Carrasco snow pants and book bags.  Leo gave them to my driver so I could put them in their apartment.  Mr. Xue got out of the van and didn't even have a limp.  What in the world?  I have no idea what 'broken foot' means in China.

At 7:45 I took Cameron to school.  I ran back home and worked on my blog while the VPN was working again.  At 8:45 I went back to the school to help in Cameron's classroom.  The kids were making picture frames.  They used the same wood, tools, and glue guns as they did when they made their peasant houses a few weeks ago.  When I walked into Cameron's room he mouthed the words "seriously, a Seton sweatshirt? (his school at home)".  I mouthed back "no one knows what it means".  He smiled.

Cameron's class made these.

Cameron's up close.

The kids were in groups of 4.  They were to measure and cut their wood.  Some kids had a much harder time at this than others.  We worked on these from 9:10-9:45.  The kids had snack and recess and we started working again at 10:25-11:00.  At 10:50 a couple kids still didn't have their frames together let alone decorated.  I started helping them cut.   It was a fun morning in the classroom.

Cameron is working on his picture frame.

This is the cool miter tool.

Cameron's face is a little too big for the frame.

I went back home and finished updating the blog.  It was working like a champ today.  I wish it would stay like this when we get back.  I also packed for home.  One more sleep and we head to Beijing then fly to USA on Wednesday.

The Hindman's came over for one last day of play.  Wii...NERF...lots of laughs.  Cameron is going to miss all the kids for the next two weeks (Carrasco's for 5 weeks).  I'm sure he will be busy at home though.

Dinner, made sure we had everything to go home, put some stuff away in the apartment, and headed to bed.
