Visits and a visitor by our kids

Mama and Zawadi

Today we have a bumper bundle of blogs written by our kids. 
During the holidays, those who have relatives who were able to take them for a short break went on home visits which some have chosen to write about. 
Musyoka has chosen the arrival of Auntie Libby as his topic.

Zawadi:
It was on Friday afternoon when my grandmother came to take Jane and l .Before going for home visit we went to tell our Happy House family goodbye.
After that we went for the home visit .when we had reached home everyone welcomed us with joy and love.
On the next day in the afternoon we went to fetch firewood and also fetch some water for the whole family.
 And also in the morning we always go to fetch water from the borehole. And also we always go for grazing in the morning and in the afternoon also when we have finished eating my lunch.. After grazing the goat we always go to wash utensils.

Jedida:

It was on Saturday morning. When I had prepared myself that

my aunt had come to pick me. When she came she went to the office and signed.

After there we went  at home together. When we reached at home I went to play with my friends.

When I was coming back to Happy House I was as happy as a king.

The Happy House children came and greeted me I was excited to see my brothers and sisters here at home. I enjoyed my holiday very much at my home visit. My home visit was so nice and I helped my aunt very much, like in the kitchen, washing clothes and cleaning.

 A blog about the coming of our lovely friend Aunty Libby by Musyoka

It was on Friday when everyone was returning to the Happy House family from home visits that we found that everyone who stayed at home had gone to the airport to pick our friend Aunty Libby .

We said to the aunty who was on duty that we had come back home safely we ran and changed our clothes .
And we were told by the aunty that we should get ready to welcome our friend back to the family again and we and we did as the aunty had told us to so when they had arrived we started singing welcome song to her so that we may make her feel welcomed. 
Then on Saturday we gave her a very big surprise with a party.
