Mama yangu!! Some fierce creatures have invaded Malaika! Tigers and birds and insects and even dinosaurs were cavorting and gamboling all over the bembea and in the house. Terrifying! A friend of mine, Bettina Rucklehaus, brought some lovely and lively 'zoo pals' paper plates over from the states and at her suggestion, I took scissors and string and used them as masks. For an hour it was pretty chaotic as I furiously cut eyeholes out and attatched strings and the kids started to catch on to what I was up to. After which they started choosing their favorites. Regina was a pink bunny, Godbless an eagle, Festo a tiger (natch), Neema a red ox, Lisa a baby dinosaur, Fadhili was a puppy, Baraka a penguin (so funny!), Samuelly a monkey, Helen a giraffe, and the beat goes on... I was excited to find a little dudu (insect) mask and even happier that none of the kids claimed it. So, MummyVon; I was living up to my childhood nickname: Ladybug!
