Friday Whites and KC's Kurta

On Fridays the kids where white pants and skirts instead of the typical white. If it were up to the didis, the kids would not wear any white. . . ever. Its funny to see the little boys with all white pants but brown knees and behind. No soap can get that kind of dirt out. Here are a couple pictures as they get ready for the day and line up for the school bus. Bishal is getting his daily dose of cold cream, yes it keeps his face silky smooth and ever so soft. I would know, he loves to rub his cheeks against my beard.

Looking good Babit.

Good form kids.

KC and Susma are picking up her new kurta (typical Nepalese dress) from the tailor. The silk embroidered fabric cost 1600 rupees (about $26) and the tailoring cost a whooping 120 rupees ($2)!!. Take note of the big bins next to the tailor, it was filled with chicken parts. The three piece kurta looked incredible on KC, everyone was impressed.

The kids loved seeing KC in her new Kurta. KC also got new bangles, a necklace, a tika (red dot) . . . all these things are what a married Nepalese woman wears. Saran was so excited he picked up a chair.

Sandeep wouldn't let anyone else hold him for the remainder of the day. He has a new found love for KC.

Tara, KC, Susma and Asuna show off their new kurtas.
