booty patrol

Well it is day 5 of V having diarhea. It has not been fun. It is only 1pm and she is already on her third pair of pants. Her poor little booty has been so red and sore. She has been acting fine, thankfully. You wouldn't tell just by looking at her that she is sick.
Here is the scoop on the job. When we took the job we were told that our first day would be Monday June 8th. We found out yesterday that our first day is TODAY! Talk about poor communication! But everything is okay. Today has been odd. We offically started at 9. We were suppose to go to the office to start paperwork but then found out that one of us (John) was suppose to go help the boys with the pigs. Then we were suppose to meet with one of the relief staff at lunch and she was to "show us the ropes." She wasn't there! She had to take her husband to the dr's and I guess she is still there. All I know is that the boys get out of school at 2:30 and I am hoping she is back by then because I don't know what I am suppose to be doing!
John and I started painting the place today. We are painting the family room and the living room what was suppose to be a brown color but ended up being more green. It is not what I picked out but I like it! We are going to paint an accent wall a dark orange but we cannot agree on which wall the accent should be. We have a really nice brand new couch that we get to use. It was one that the Today show donated as well as a bookshelf (also from the Today show) and a table, an outside bench and possibly some end tables. Everything is slowly coming together. We still don't have groceries yet though. We are going to have to do that on one of our down days which I think is Monday or Tuesday.
V has been transitioning well. She has been sleeping a lot! (of course except right now when she is suppose to be napping!). I think the altitude has been making her sleepy as well has probably being a factor to her diarhea. All of the kids love her. Yesterday the girls took her and played with her in the grass where they were sitting it was cute to see her sitting in their circle like she was one of them.
I posted some pictures on facebook and am hoping to post some of our place pre-painted. We will see, it is going to be a crazy evening!
