so the craft today with the older kids was decorating plastic flower pots. that all fun and good until the glitter comes out. let me just tell you that i walked out of crafts today with glitter from head to toe. (literally)
it seams like in the past week we have had a influx of children come through the kitchen wanting band aides. there is something about band aides that just make everything better. well, euclides hurt himself the other night and so i picked him up and carried him to the kitchen. after getting him fixed up (ice, band aides, etc) i carried him back out and he was happy to sit and put ice on his knee. although, i think most of the ice ended up in his mouth. i think that mostly he just wanted to be taken care of which i was happy to do.
i think lupe and some of the other kids have telling me daily that orangewood is almost here (sometimes more than once a day). they are excited.
i am feeling better this week. last week i was emotionally drained but this week i am better and feeling refreshed. thank you for all of your prayers.

Even though I am a little bit "crafty", glitter was outlawed from our house long ago!!
You hit it on the head about the band aids...its all about getting some TLC! The magic trick I used during teaching was "Why dont you go get a drink of water?" It made everything better from stomach aches to paper cuts to emotional hurts to ear aches...haha!
SOOO glad you are feeling better Ray...when do you return?
i promise, upon my word, that we will not be using glitter in any of our crafts. There is no need to have minuscule pieces of glass floating around waiting to get in someone's eye.
