Hi All!
I've decided to join Kate's link up, Daily Diaries, to give a glimpse of what our week to week looks like.

So let's get started!!
These ladies we are calling our American-Russian refugees!
They are American student volunteers working in Russia and teaching
English. It's a fun part of working for a charity. We meets lots of
amazing people working in various places around the world. They had
visa problems and camped out in England while they waited for new visas.
We did a bit of sightseeing while they were here.
They were staying in a colleague's house, but we had them over for dinner most nights. My kids loved having them here!
Some messing with the cat might have been involved!

The downside of having guests is having to say "goodbye!" We miss them already!
The remembrance of the 100 year anniversary of WWI has been widespread in the UK. Just look at the installment at the Tower of London!
Check out a post from Mandy who blogs at Emm in London about the poppy installment. She gives a lot of great information about it.
The kids have been learning different aspects of the war. One of them are recipes made during that time. For a class project Karis wanted to make one of the recipes. She chose donuts!
If it weren't for the time, mess and calories we might make them more often!
That's the highlights, I'd say. You don't need to know all the details of my sweating through Taebo and hours of dish washing (that's me roughing it in England.....no dishwasher!)
I'm excited for the weekend. I'll be attending another great London Bloggers Tea!! Can't wait to tell you all about it!!
Happy Weekend!!
