yesterday i got to go out with the team. we went to the market, out to eat, and later to the cliff divers. i sat out the cliff divers as i have seen them too many times already.
today i got to play with the kids again. i gave my uno cards to a kid while i had to go do something and i came back to quite a funny site. angel (who is not quite there all the time), alfonso (6), eli (5), kevin (5), gaudencio (6), and one other little one (i cant remember) were all sitting on the floor playing uno. which is a funny site because none of them quite know how to play, kevin doesnt talk, and alfonso is giving direcitons. what a great site. you gotta give it to them, they were trying.
i was later flagged down by geovani two different times because he wanted to play with me. so, i am playing lots and lots and lots of uno! :)
we had another little boy dropped off yesterday. he is 6 and has 3 other siblings here. roberto, olimar, and marbella are his siblings. he looks just like roberto! he is very shy so far and i have not gotten a chance to talk with him.
the boy that was dropped off the other week, alejandro, is doing so much better! if you remember, i said he was having a hard time adjusting. i am so surprised at how calm he is now and how much he smiles. that is good to see him doing better. i was worried for a bit about him.

mrs houck. if you send money i would be happy to go to walmart and get things. you can send a list and i can buy stuff off the list or you can send no list. i did not know about kristina! that is so exciting! i got goose bumps reading your post!
jen and maggie. if the coloring books are stupid then i would say paper and coloring stuff would be great. underwear for the boys and girls is great. i would assumer that all ages would be welcomed. the littlest ones tend to not have as much because there are rarely so many little ones here. we have 2 four year old boys, 3 six year old boys, and one 6 year old girl. but the girl, liz, is very tiny for her age, so keep that in mind.
debbie. i have collected some ideas for the vbs thing you all will be doing. i am calling my family on sunday and i will relay that information to my mother and i will tell her to pass it on to you.

oh, and if anyone wants to bring an extra pair of scrubs down for me that would be great! i have been wearing the same ones all week and they get really nasty. dont worry if it is too much though. i can def. get by with the pair i have.
