Good News and Bad News

Alright, so I'll start off with the good news....we have the INTERNET!!!! :) So I will be able to post more on here, and stories that are still fresh in my head, since Sat. mornings when I was writing I could never think of something to write. Okay onto the bad news, we think someone took our digital camera when we moved here on Friday. So sad! So I have no pictures to show you. We are still trying to go through some things, maybe we missed it somewhere, but we are pretty sure someone has taken it, and probably sold it that night. O-well. We will recover and get a new camera and take more pictures, you guys will just have to wait longer for any pictures though. So sorry.

New stories for the week....Wed. night we were woken up at 2am by some beeping noise. We thought oh maybe it's from across the street, because in our bathroom we have a small circle window, and it doesn't have a glass window in it, just a screen. So we could hear it really well, but then I started wondering....what if that is coming from upstairs, no one lives up there, but there have been workers up there all week banging windows out of it and new ones in. So Tyler goes outside to the guards, and they go up to the apartment and it is the smoke alarm upstairs! Our poor neighbors! Anywho....Tyler and the guard take it down, but can't get the battery out because it's enclosed in this plastic covering. So the guard just rips the wires out of it, and it stops beeping. We were so tired after that, but it was funny to think of Tyler in his pajamas with a guard upstairs ripping out smoke detector wires!!! :)

Then yesterday, I was walking into Spencers room to check on him during his nap, and I went through the bathroom that connects to his room. Well right there in the bottom of the tub, bottom up was a HUGE cockroach!!! I mean at least 2 and a half inches long, and probably 4 with the antennas!!! So I thought, well I'll get my Swiffer and be done with it, but then I looked up on the tub and there was another one on the edge of it!!! So I just couldn't do it, so I went out and found the guard, and of course this guard doesn't speak English! (some of them do) Well, I got him and he came in and killed them for me. He pretty much just picked them up and slammed them on the floor then carried them outside in some toliet paper. I'm glad we have guards!!! :) I know I'm a wuss. O-well.

Today Tyler came by and picked up Spencer and I to go run some errands, and while we were sitting in traffic, we had a kid, probably around 9 or 10, come up to the car windows and start tapping on them. We just ignore them because we know they want money, and if we gave some to that one kid all the other kids on the side of the road would see and start coming at us for money. It's so sad to see this, and it was really hard today because we were sitting in traffic for at least 3 minutes, and they just kept tapping away. They also checked our doors to see if they were open, yes they will hop in your car. Spencer saw them and was like hey there's a kid out there. We tell him just to wave at them and be nice.
