The power has been out since 8:30 this morning. I am sitting outside watching some of the kids in their play time.
Sisi and Reina are playing in the hammock. Their continuous giggles sound like a cluster of doves cooing.
Often, from inside my room, I will hear the girls giggling over something. It always makes me want to feed the birds.
Jose is learning how to lasso the toy carousel horse. He is sitting on one while capturing the other. He made his first around the neck lasso and his face lit up. When I first made the slip knot at the end of his rope, his expression was full of imagination.
The power just came on about 4:15. Yeahhhhh!
Maryuri is painting her face with chalk;
Anna is trying to figure out how to use Maryuri’s new, now broken etch-a-sketch.
Jackson is trying to construct some form of house in a tree;
Doris and Fernando have made a sort of tunnel over the little bridge by my house using the trampoline tubes that were used for the net.
And, Josue is looking for tiny little seashells and bringing them to me for safe keeping.
I think I have one of the best jobs in the world.
