Making friends and meeting people

We have had an exciting first month here in Costa Rica. The boys seem to be adjusting well, though Seth has learned a few things about meeting the neighbors...

A good way: Fall head first in the street and bleed profusely from the head. Have mom carry you screaming home and neighbors will come to see if you are all right and offer help and bandages.

A bad way: Hang out at the front of the neighborhood waiting for Dad to come and take us to church. While there pick a wild cherry tomato and throw it at a car. Make sure that this car happens to be the neighbor directly next to you so he knows where you live and can go tell your mom. Then after getting a spanking, go apologize in spanish and take the neighbors trash up the hill for him.

Hopefully we have learned a lesson and will find more good ways to meet the nieghbors!
