Run Jump Play!

It's Wednesday after a four day weekend and suprisingly Kingergarten was alright today. Its funny how some days can just be like that. After only 40 minutes of being there so much had happened. My morning began with throwing kids up and spinning them around (that is my morning exercise), playing chase kelly like 5 times with two little rugrats who never leave me alone, doing some sort of junken (rock paper scissors) game walking on a block maze, realizing 5 girls were pretending to be rabbits in a cage then barking like a dog I scared them and lastly just before prayer time I shared a small moment of joy with a few boys looking out the window and pointing at the snow which now exists on the mountain tops. To me that was real special because I lead the boy to the window, stood him on the stool and pointed and said "yuki". He then called some others and they all took turns looking at the snow and then jumping off. Admiring snow somehow turned into a jump off the stool game....kids have a one track mind run-jump-play!

The long weekend sure was great. We went to Nikko and had a random drinking night in Nagai. Later this week I'll post some pictures up. Now that its the begining of November I realize how fast October went I have not made one post about it. I have less than two months left at my job. That thought brings out excitement for travelling and of coarse the inevitable sadness of leaving, oh what a condundrum.
