The Thursday night sleep over with the little girls from our care-point was so good. We took the children on public with all their little backpacks. So we stuffed in the seats with two girls on each of our laps. They were so excited! Many of our babies have never been to town before. So when we arrived in the Manzini bus rank one little girl gasped in amazement at the hundreds of Kombies. I strapped Sethu on my back like a swazi woman, and all of the Swazi people we passed looked at us really funny. We took them to KFC for ice-cream. They told Zanele that they didn't know ice-cream was cold. The ice-cream fell out of Sethu and Nomvuyo's cones onto the floor, but all in all it was a success.

The girls all ran towards the house as we opened the gate even little Sethu. We prepared a room downstairs for them. They each had a goody pile with treats, pictures, and a stuffed puppy waiting for them. Each little girl was so thrilled. The girls spent the afternoon playing with their new toys and eating their treats. After dinner they all took bubbles baths. They freaked out when I turned on the sprayer. I think their favorite thing about coming over was using the toilet. They all would run into the bathroom at the same time and take turns using the toilet.

Each one of them slept through the night. They were all so behaved and precious. Even Sethu slept all night. We went into town one last time before going back to the care-point and bought them all new school shoes. They were so proud. When we got to the care-point they were showing off their new things to the gogos and telling them all about their stay at our house. It was so much fun having them over. It really makes us sad though, because we are leaving them so soon and spending more time with them away from the care-point makes is so much harder. And next Thursday we are having the boys over….
