Usually on Friday, Finn's friend Thiago (Chee-Ah-Go) comes over to play. His mom and Finn's mom work on various Brazilian crafts together.
Jill is the administrator for the student council this year. She and 15 high schoolers are planning many of the activites and fund raisiers for the year. "Western Day" was part of the Spirit Week. Always interesting to create costumes out of what we have here. There are no costume stores, huge departments at Wal Mart or used clothing shops. Jill was also the resident french-braider of the day.
Finn had some health issues this month, culminating in many hours in the ER room on a Friday afternoon. He had bronchitis and pneumonia. We thank God we caught it early enough. This climate is rough on the lungs. After various medications and treatments, his breathing was clean and healthy. Just in time to help Tim harvest the red bananas from our tree! 
We hunted for the perfect rocks one Friday after school. We scrubbed them down, dried them in the sun, and had fun painting them. They are now used for various door stops around the house.
"HEY...do you want some bread?" As soon as he gets within earshot of our house, Antonio wants to sell us his bread--from his bike! He delivers fresh bread to our door each Friday afternoon. 
Stew taught the elementary chapel one Friday morning. All about ants! Jill leads the worship for the K-6th graders two Fridays a month. The kids are learning new songs and new actions, and I think all the them would highly recommend Jana Alayra's music!
So, our eventful Fridays come to a close, but not without try a new food item? Here we have: monster Brazilian green beans!
