I also made bruschetta in the kitchen after lunch to have for dinner. Coco typically makes this but she is gone to Jaibon this week, so Bryson and I made the bruschetta. It took a while to get some flavor to it, just tasted like tomatoes for quite some time, but after several additions of basil, oregano, garlic, and salt, and sitting to soak in the flavors for 4 hours, it turned out pretty good with limited supplies/options!
This afternoon I was convinced by my roommates to change the layout of my blog. They both changed theirs and made them more exciting, so I had to jump on the bandwagon. Hope you like the new layout!
This afternoon I spent time hanging out with some of the kids. A side note from last night that I forgot to mention. This story is for DJ! Last night sitting with Luis Alberto watching TV he had his right thumb in his mouth and randomly put his left hand down into his pants and left it there for about 1-2 minutes. It was great! I wanted my camera to take a picture because it was too funny. He, however, did not leave his hand in his pants forever, sorry DJ! :)
This afternoon Jennifer who is 4 came up to me and told me I picked a bad movie last night. We watched Enchanted. Towards the end, a toothless, scary (to a 4 year old), witch kind of scares the princess and catches the audience off guard. Well, she jumped in her chair and ended up coming and standing beside me facing backwards for the rest of the movie! Oops! So, she keep reminding me that I scared her!
We read a few books at the mesita before dinner, and played in their comedor as well. After dinner was some major tickle time. I had Jennifer and Lisy between my legs, tickling them both at once. Before that, Lisy was making cake for me, out of the dirt on the ground. It was the best cake ever! :) We headed into their eating area to play because the mosquitos were so bad. With each kid, would come about 8 mosquitos. They are crazy right now from the water 2 weeks ago!
I played cards with Jazmin and Indiana for a little bit before they headed off to church and then spent time outside just hanging out. The kids were looking at pictures of themselves on a volunteer's camera that was here last year. They loved seeing pictures of themselves from last year and some cute video footage too. Mery came up and sat next to me. She is becoming so much more talkative now and I can understand most of what she says. She just wants to be like everyone else, and wants you to do the same to her as you do to the other kids!
The boys got some new heelies and have been flying around everywhere. Argenis took out Winston accidentally and Edwin would just go flying by grabbing on to whoever was close.
Before heading over to my side for the night, Luis Alberto and Arianni (brother and sister, ages 5 and 4) came over to show me their game of tops. They flatten metal Coke bottle tops and throw the top down at another top trying to flip it over. Luis Alberto was shocked that his little sister could beat him so he came to show me he could win. However, with some strange luck she won. She would either miss the top by a mile or flip it over. It was hilarious because her laugh was so cute and mischevious at the same time because she was proud to beat her brother!
We played a good game of Phase 10 to finish up the evening with the small group of volunteers here! I've enjoyed having them here and it is nice sometimes to have small groups to hang out with and play games!
Looking forward to parents week coming up. Heather, Christine, Bryson and my parents are all coming down and we are going to have a great time. See you in less than 2 weeks!
One last thing. My roomies decided instead of taking down our Christmas tree (that is still up), we should make it a family tree. So we all drew our families on index cards and hung them on the tree. Each day we'll draw a name out and tell a story about that person. Look at that masterpiece! DJ has a basketball, Jo is prego, Dad has scuba gear, and best of all Mom has a striped shirt and a glass of wine! :)
