Day 2... or 3... I dunno

I have basically lost track of time--I have no idea what day it is. I don't think it's the heat although it is quite warm.












Some deep thoughts from yesterday...


Today was funny. I spent most of the morning working on videos and Skyping with Kali’s class. Meanwhile Kali was busy having the preschool kids cling to her. She went to their class for a while and they hung all over her.

The afternoon was filled with laughter as we chased kids around, tickling them when we caught them. Our kite making class turned into a fiasco as we could find only one pair of scissors. Kali, Allison and I began cutting the kites out, but only produced 6 in an hour. We had planned to make 20; needless to say we weren’t very productive! We had six kids decorating their kites when we made the next “mistake.” Pulling out the balloon rockets before finishing the kites didn’t work in our favor as most of the kite makers became more interested in the balloon rockets. The kites didn’t get finished, but the kids had a blast with the balloon rockets.

Today wasn’t the most productive but it was still fun. I worked in the preschool in the morning. It was hot and stuffy in the room. They ended school earlier than the regular school so we went to their room to change into casual clothes and the music was playing so they started dancing in their underwear. I dance with them. We had lunch that the Parkers put together. Mmmmmmmmmmm. After that we went to play outside, but not many kids were out because they were doing their homework. They didn’t finish for about 2 hours. Once they were finished, we started making kites with the kids. As we were doing that we made a big mistake by bringing out the balloon rockets—though they were a big hit! We went to dinner and when we got there four kids from the Hogar were there—what a great surprise! After, we went to the town square where we saw lots of families visiting and a huge church. Then we had ice cream and walked home.

Our beautiful friend, Karolina, had our camera most of the day… most of these videos are from her.

Okay--- MAJOR difficulties uploading the video--either my patience is dwindling (ha-- if you know me at all- you get that), or attempting to upload for 6 hours just isn't worth it-- I'll try again manana (that's tomorrow for anyone that isn't as fluent as I (I'm cracking myself up-- again, if you know me at all, you'll get the humor cuz MI NO HABLO ESPANOL- not even un poco!)
