Is this all getting boring for y'all?

February 9- Monday- DAY 6
I woke Keith up early to work. We had Elder and Sister Thatcher offer to take us to some stores to buy souvenirs as it is their P-day. Of course, we jumped on that as we need lots of souvenirs. They speak more language than we do. We met them downtown and they helped us exchange money. Then we went shopping. They also had it in their mind to help us find games and things for the kids to do on the plane trip home.
We found a mall type store that had a little cabinet of Ukrainian items. Then, with the Elders’ help, we found the little, tiny store that sells handmade Ukrainian souvenirs. We are going to have to go back. They had sets of the little nesting dolls that have 7 dolls in them. We got all he had, 4, for the girls’ souvenirs. We also got ones that were painted with gold and silver paint and all he had for the ones that had 5 dolls in the set. In all we bought 12 sets of dolls. They had a bunch of other things too, that we will have to go back for because we were going to eat lunch with the Elders and they were getting hungry. We felt we better not anger them because they were so kind to help us figure out and get the dolls. All in all, we are probably half done with our souvenir shopping, and only a week to go. We ended up purchasing diapers (so we could change Elijah’s- we needed more anyway) a backpack for me to carry on the airplane and a bigger, zippered one for Elijah. Thatchers also helped us to get some puzzle books and a couple travel games for the airplane.
We went to NY Pizza for lunch. We had pizza with chicken, cheese (you have to ask specifically for cheese) and mine had pineapple and Keith’s had tomatoes. We’ll have to go back there sometime as the Cox family gave us a copy of the menu that Julia translated for them. The Elders helped us order.
The Thatchers were so nice to entertain Elijah (or hold him when he slept) while we looked at things to buy. I hope we didn’t take up a P-day they wanted to use for something else. We surely enjoyed the company!!
We ended the day by grocery shopping at the store we were looking for earlier and didn’t find. Then we shared a cab home (how liberating it must be to be able to actually call for a taxi). Luckily, we had the address to the orphanage written down so the cab could take us there. We’ll have to find that paper Luba wrote her address on, so we can actually get home and not just within walking distance. 
We promised the girls that we would bring the computer and we had to drop off our purchases so we walked back to the flat then the orphanage again.
The girls played pretty nicely with the computer. We were lucky; we forgot the plug adaptor and were running the computer on the battery and it didn’t give out on us. I played blocks with R. All in all a pretty calm visit.
We were supposed to get photos that the director was getting taken for passports as well as the girls’ numbers (likes social security numbers). But since we missed the morning and were ½ hour late in the evening, I guess we missed her. Hopefully tomorrow.
As we were leaving Elijah had a meltdown. After much talking and 3 little mothers getting his outside clothes on he finally calmed down. But we figured that he was too worn out for us to go to FHE at the church. And came home, ate supper, watched an episode of Star Trek and now we are going to bed.
