Prayer

Before breakfast, lunch and snack we always say this prayer:

Lord, 

We thank you for the food before us, 

the friends beside us, 

the love between us and 

your presence among us. 

Amen. 

Their sweet voices are so precious when they say it with their little accents. 

We made Snickerdoodle cookies with the kids on Thursday and they really enjoyed being apart of the process. This was a new recipe to the Hungarians and they wanted to recipe. They thought the name of the cookie was quite funny. 

Things I have learned:

Crepes are called pancakes.

Children love to pick the flowers (from the ground) and bring them to their teachers. They are not allowed to pick from the trees or bushes. 

There is a Rosehip tree/bush in the garden. Rosehips is used for making jelly or used to be put in tea.

I thought this whole time one of the girl’s name in a different house was Bonny. Yesterday I learned it was Panni. 

Coming up....

Tuesday is a Hungarian holiday so we have Monday and Tuesday off! Most Hungarians have to work on Saturday but not us. Wahoo! Some friends I have made through church (they teach at the International Christian School of Budapest, ICSB) are going to Vienna on Monday. 

On Friday we are taking a Field Trip to ride horses and pet some animals. 

Then we have the entire week off for Fall Break. November 1st is All Saint’s Day, a Hungarian national holiday.
