Monday's Adventures

I've got a wifi connection today so we wanted to fill you in on a little something about our Monday.

I was to replace the line on some of the clothes lines at the Children's Village. A little guy about 5 ran up to me as I arrived in the car. He greeted me as if he was expecting me. Off we go to the first clothes line. He 'helped' me by carrying supplies and/or trash as we moved to the next line, then the next. As we worked our way around the houses, the number of helpers grew to 3. Then grew to 6. And before I knew it there must have been 14-15 boys and girls following me everywhere I went. Everyone wanted to help me carry something. I made sure that they each had an old piece of clothes line for them to carry for me. They had a lot of fun 'helping' I could tell. Once back to the car, I unlocked the door to put the old line in the back seat and before I knew it, everyone one of the kids were in the back seat 'for just one minute, please?' Picture 15 kids in the back seat of a car about the size of ha Honda Civic. (Sorry Cate, I'll take care of the dusty foot prints before we return your car.) It was really cute, but one of the other workers had do rescue me and get the kids out of the car!

Last night was my first night without a single mosquito bite - yippeee!! The mozzies seem to like me a lot and repellant doesn't help much. My legs are just COVERED in bites!! Last night I came up with a new plan .... the comforters we sleep under have removable covers  - kind of like a large pillow case. So I took the comforter out and climbed inside the cover and slept like that. It worked!  The mosquitos couldn't figure out how to get to my legs. I think I'm going to get inside my comforter cover as soon as the sun starts to go down from now on!
