We went out to the market today for the first time in a long while. The park is right next to it and we saw a few weeks back that they had put in a new playground. The kids were so excited to play but when we arrived there were large heavy metal barriers around the new equipment. We saw that the slide had busted in the middle and clearly was unsafe for little ones. However, we were a little perplexed (okay, maybe we shouldn't have been) as to why parents had moved the barriers just enough to get through and were allowing their kids to play. We had to explain to our kids that the restriction was for their own safety and we should obey the rules. The whole situation just made us laugh. It's so typical.
Jonathan also had a chance to strike up a conversation with some JWs at the market. They would like to get together at some point with us, so we'll see what comes out of that. Other than that I got a pot of mums for the front porch, which makes it feel more like autumn to me. Now all I need to do is hunt down some pumpkins!
I'm not sure if I'll get the chance to post again before Wednesday so I'll mention this now as a point of prayer. Wednesday we head to the Questura to complete some paperwork for our permits to stay. Pray for no glitches in any of the stuff that needs to be filed, also pray for the kids as it is never a fun place for them to be waiting. Thanks so much!

Just prayed for Wednesday. I can only imagine the fun of waiting with little ones...will definitely be praying & let us know how it goes!!
I smiled and shook my head over the playground story....you know how this Gramma is about safety for little ones! (and sometimes tough lessons about obeying the rules). We'll be praying for Questura day!
Love,
Munga and Gramma
