Day 130 - March 22nd

What a fun Thursday! Today we celebrated Annabella's (Jenn's Baka baby) 1st birthday! We blew bubbles outside with our Baka neighbor kids, and all of us had a BLAST with that, whether blowing the bubbles or popping them!

Then we went inside and played with balloons, and then sang to Annabella and ate an amazing teddy bear cake and ice cream!
Annabella wasn't too interested in eating or playing with her cupcake and ice cream, but she enjoyed getting it on Heidi and a little on Jenn.
Then she opened her presents! She is getting good at that tearing wrapping paper thing! All in all, she had a great party, and seemed to enjoy it and her company - she would laugh when the kids were playing all around her.
Just before dinner tonight, the new pet chameleon was out of its cage, on a shelf in the living room, above the couch. The couch where I was sitting. The next thing I knew, I let out a yelp, because something bigger than some bug dropped on my arm.
Then I realized it was the chameleon, who promptly climbed up my arm, ear, and into my hair above my ponytail. Then he got really still, and fell asleep for the next two hours or so. I just went about my business, eating dinner and hanging out, since he seemed so comfortable. Finally, though, I needed to go outside, and I didn't want him to wake up and jump off into the night, so I get the kids to get him off of me. Toooooooooo funny. Only in Africa, right? Here's a pic of our reptile friend.

Finally, I took a picture of an interesting banana. It is actually 2 bananas, but sharing one skin! We haven't opened it yet, but we can see the two points at the end where it came off the regime of bananas. I guess they didn't have room to spread out.
