Tour of our House

Hello, Muraho, maybe even Bon Jour

It's time to begin our guided home tour.

On your left is the room where we play games together,

watch movies, read, color – no matter the weather.

Across on the right is our dining space.

We share crazy meals and take turns saying grace.

Ahead is our hall, it’s nice and it's wide

It leads us through to the other side.

This room is not pretty. We won't stay long here.                       

It holds extra stuff and Chad’s biking gear.  





OK, now that's better, shutting the door.

It's time to move on. Storage rooms are a bore.

                

If you look on the left, the stairs are inviting.

We’ll wait to go up, though I know it’s exciting.

Watch out! The floor might be covered with toys.

This is the entrance to the room for the Boys.

 Trinkets, Nerf guns, and Legos galore
Bunk beds for sleepy heads - whom we adore.

Here’s the boys’ bathroom, which had a leak issue.

It’s fixed now and comes with a shower and tissue.

 Utility Closet and Pantry in one

It’s all in order, we’re calling it done.

*One of our favorite snacks is POPCORN

 Michal is fixing our favorite snack. 

We'll show you the kitchen and then head right out back.

The steel pot is our filter
(step 3 out of 4)

for cleaning the water. Want to hear more?

First we must boil to kill the amoebas,

Never just drink it, that's for the zebras.

Step 2 - let it cool. Now hold on to your pants.

Step 3 will take out all debris, dirt, and ants. 

Step 4 is a bonus, not everyone does it.

Make cold in the fridge – that’s how our kids love it.

The rest of the kitchen has all that we need 

for cooking our meals, though not with great speed

It comes complete with a window for dishes.

Or give us your order, if that’s what your wish is.

A spot to stick pictures, you know that it’s true

We’d love to add to it a photo of YOU!

To the right of the fridge is the metal pot

That electrically makes our water hot.

If you think that's just a small thing, well

– it’s not!

A few steps outside takes us to the place

Where laundry is washed – a pretty big space.

After the washing it hangs on the line

Or a door or a bush is also just fine.

Concrete and dirt that’s hard as clay

It’s where these two buddies like to play.

 That’s it for the back yard. If you’re ready for more

Let’s go check out the second floor!

As you can tell, our ceilings are high

this hallway lets in the light from the sky.

When you visit and bring stuff for yourself

You might want to put it on this shelf.

The Girls' room has bunk beds too

and dolls and books and a pretty nice view.

Every bedroom has a wardrobe spot

For storing clothes. They hold a lot.

Here is another toilet and sink.

The water’s not safe. Remember -don’t drink!

This room has its own bath and shower

To fill it would take nearly an hour*.

*This would be a poor idea, especially with water shortages in the dry season.
We only mention completely filling the tub for rhyming purposes.

  

Final stop, the master bed

The mosquito net might hit your head.

We don’t really need to use it

Just tie it up nicely, and don’t abuse it.

That’s all to show of our little home

Maybe sometime you’ll come and roam.

Thanks so much for stopping by 

 Adieu, mwaramut, and now goodbye.
