Cheerios and Peanut Butter

Today we didn't get up for breakfast at 6:45 so we just slept in and had breakfast in the room. Mom went to the Crew Mess and made toast for her and the boys, but I was to hungry to wait for her to get all beautified to go make a piece of toast.... so I had bread with crunchy peanut butter and jam. It is so dark in our rooms without a window, that we could sleep all day! Mom, on the other hand is up at 6am with the sun haha!! This morning we looked out our window like we usually do, and we saw that the container for the ship had arrived from Holland, or where ever it came from. In it was loads and loads of stacks of lots of stuff that we couldn't tell what it was, but we saw one with big boxes of cheerios and lots of tubs of peanut butter!!! There is a big crane on Deck 8 and we could watch the piles getting lifted right outside out window!! it was really cool! We watched the fishing boats and a big ship come in today, it is really cool to watch these people fish out in the ocean, sometimes I think that their little boat is going to tip and they will fall in, but they manage to stay dry. I went to go practice piano today (yuck!), but I know it will be easier if I do so that when I get back it won't be as hard getting into normal life again. I worked on Psychology 30 online today, and read my book in my room. We had PIZZA tonight!! what a treat! We have been waiting all week to have pizza!! Now that the container has come the ship shop will be filled with goodies again, and starbucks will be refilled as well! YAY! We did random stuff all day today, and it seemed to pass really fast. We have signed up to go to a Deaf School tomorrow with the Mercy Ministries, and I am really excited to start doing ministry here in Benin. We signed up for lots of stuff for the weekend and next week and I am pumped for it. Today when Brett and Mom were working on school Adam and I made our own entertainment, which included getting squished in a bunk bed and trying to fit on the closets!! The boys go up on Deck 8 all the time and ride these bike type things, all I can hear in our cabin (which is right below) is the rolling of the bikes on top of me! Well nothing exciting is happening right now, so I will stop talking.
