I know you mostly want to see photos. I want to write words too but that will come at some point. For now, enjoy these.

Our boys have now watched the entire movie The Lion King. This was a big favorite of mine and also one they could relate to as far as the music and animals. They watched it in short chunks and they LOVE the song Hakuna Matata. [Also they probably knew the word since Swahili is used in Uganda as well.] Hayden danced to it after nap yesterday and it was one of the cutest things I have seen to date (and that's saying something with the quality of cuteness we have going on in this house!) They were singing it all evening as a result and at dinner Hayden said "Hakuna Ma-daddy!" it was so cute bc "Tata" is Lugandan for "Daddy." I love how he plays with language!!
By the way back to our angelic children, I made mackerel and shrimp curry last night and both boys ate it up just like Momma and Daddy did over rice with lemon juice over the top and sour cream on the side. LOVE IT!!
btw: more photos to come. I am still sorting the 800 or so taken this weekend (not kidding)

we should have noting but geniuses
There's a quote I saw presented w/children's artwork once that said something like "if all children lived up to early indications, we should have nothing but geniuses"
Here are some examples of our little budding artists genius :)
Yesterday we used watercolors for the first time with outstanding results.
