This week we had an abbreviated school week, with the girls gone shopping with Maria on Tuesday for winter coats and shoes while the boys had class with Garry without a translator. He said it was easy because they just continued working on balancing feed rations, and he is getting down the terminology for math in Russian. We had planned a final fun outing for Thursday, thinking we would switch class to Friday, but that all fell apart when Garry had to take the boys and meet Maria for a trip to the secondhand store, unfortunately it was 75% women's clothing there, so they had to go to the outdoor market to find all the boys warm shoes, coats hats and gloves for work and for good.
Thursday the boys did go to play paintball against Garry and some of the other guys who work on the farm and had a great time, although Garry has a few red spots on his arms from direct hits. The girls were going to go bowling at the same time, but Nastya was sick the day before and had to stay in bed to rest. Nastya had walked all the way to class on Wednesday morning, even though she had a fever. We put her to bed in our house during class, and drove her home to the girls' house in the afternoon. The girls and boys houses are on Centralna, the same street as our house, and class, but it is a kilometer walk.
