I swept and mopped the floor three times today. Once after this:
We had oatmeal for breakfast. Cooper and I shared and Maria had her own. Cooper and I finished up and I went to go wash our bowl, Maria decided that she was finished and put her bowl on the floor.
Cooper decided that today was the day he wanted to start crawling, made his way over to the bowl and proceeded to make a HUGE mess.
Today I am a little frustrated... not with mopping the floor 3 times, but with this small town in Honduras.
We do our dishes in the sink in the bathroom because our kitchen doesn't have one yet. We have a sink, but no counter. In December Marco visited the guy in town who builds things and asked him how much it would cost to build a counter, gave him a description of what he wanted and specifications. He said 2000 lempiras, but he wouldn't be able to get to it until January. Today when Marco went back to check on things, he said he could do it but it would cost 3000 lempiras. Now, that's not a ton of money, but it's more than we had budgeted for the project. Now this isn't the first time that the price of something has gone up on us.... which in itself is frustrating. Marco could and would totally build it himself if it weren't for the lack of supplies here. There isn't a lumber yard you can go to and as for a sheet of plywood.... we're thinking that plywood MIGHT be available in Santa Rosa, but not here.... and since we don't have a car and transporting a sheet of plywood on the bus is.... unlikely. So for now we wait... maybe the guy will go back down... maybe he won't. I've washed the dishes in the bathroom sink for 3 months now, and while not ideal, I guess I can do it for 3 more.

That's ruff to budget what they say they'll do it for then go and change the price. Izzy dangle the original amount and say this or nothing
Cute picture of Cooper. He's really growing up
