Busy-Crazy-Exhausting-Bliss

Meet  Pip. They have lots of baby chicks so we all got to pick one to be 'ours' and named them. (Mine is cuter than Carrie's, just sayin)

On the walk to the pool...beautiful!

We had a runaway cockroach and I didn't really want it under my bed while I was sleeping so we convinced it to come out.
There are little rectangles above our doors and most of them have glass but a few don't, including the one to our front door. On occasion it has been necessary to send a little kid through that gap to unlock the door. We wanted to see if I would fit...I fit enough to reach down and unlock the door, but not get all the way through. 




We had secret friends for Valentines day with the young adults but didn't have time or the supplies to wrap them so we improvised and used paper towels from the bathroom...

Flor got adopted on Thursday. She is so stinkin cute!! I miss her so much!

One of the activities with the young adults was fun random activities, one including one where we got wrapped up in balloons and our teammates had to pop all the balloons. The catch is their hands were tied behind their back...it was hilarious.

Chan Chan = absolutely incredible!! 


This is Alfredo. He's coming home with me. 

We helped them make valentines for each other and then delivered them on Monday to all the kids. They were all so excited! It was really cute. 
classic game of chicken in the pool. We take them swimming every monday, wednesday, friday. A lot of them don't know how to swim though so I spend a lot of time teaching them how to swim. We put a huge log in the pool and the kids love to try and stand on it and balance but since there's at least 10 of them trying at the same time they find it kind of difficult. Entertaining for me though! (no that isn't a coloring fluke, the water really is brown due to all the algae floating around in it)

  1. Cute little Flor! Um, are you sure climbing through that door is ok for your back?? :) Looks like you are having a wonderful adventure.

  2. I agree with Ashley! On both parts...she is adorable and you should be taking better care of your back! On a non-scolding note, all the bright colors and sunshine are really agreeing with you. You look great!
