Hi Folks,
Just me again with my daily updates!! Thanks for the comments and the messages - much appreciated!! Mum - so proud that you´ve mastered e-mail and the blog. Told you that you could if you really wanted to!!
Was at WW as usual this morning. First thing I noticed was that the majority of the kids still had their heights and weights written on their arms after yesterday. Apart from that there were no other obvious signs that they had been affected by the experience!!
Had taken chalk with me today, and we played hopscotch again. Have attched some photos of Ernesto and Andrea playing. They were the only two (the two eldest) who mastered the hopping technique. They really enjoyed it.
After that we became creative!! The exterior of Julia´s house is white except for maybe a two foot section around the bottom which is just grey cement. We decided we would brighten it up (with Julia´s permission of course). Julia and I drew some things (cats, dogs, boats, people, the sun etc) on the base with chalk and the kids had a great time colouring it in. They ended up with chalk in
House Painting
This is Andrea being creative!their hair and all over their clothes, as did I.
The chalk wasnon toxic, so Julia and I also decided to indulge in a bit of face painting with the kids which they really enjoyed. Not as effective as real face paints, but have looked and can´t find them anywhere over here. The kids had a great time. They love to get really messy, and I sometimes feel pretty bad as some of their parents don´t even have running water at home, but we haven´t had any complaints so far, although they probably curse the "gringa" with all the wacky ideas!!
After WW, headed home for lunch and managed a delicious hot shower after lunch. It was amazing!!
