Raking at the Rectory

We started our day with school and after lunch we headed over to the rectory to help the priest with some raking.  

Our Czech Classroom

Raking at the rectory

and at the church

We put all the leaves (and kids) into the back of this mini pickup truck

Even Tobiah helped out...

and they got to ride in this cute little truck

Sebastian being Sebastian

We got home from raking around 4:30.  Libor and Martina were just getting ready for their afternoon coffee time.  I don't know if all Czech families have coffee time in the afternoon, but we've had it here most every day.  Today Libor's dad and older brother joined us.  I sure am enjoying listening to conversations and trying to pick up new words.  My new words for today are poultry, both, dummy, foreigner and peanuts.

Martina made some delicious spaghetti with turkey meat for dinner; however, Gabriella was a little surprised/disappointed to find caraway seeds in her spaghetti sauce!  Caraway is an extremely common seasoning used here.

After dinner we played "Pass the Pigs" with Martina while Libor worked.  Karolina got home for the weekend a little later and we visited for a while, then off to bed.
