A Party

At the daycare they started celebrating for Carnival which is this weekend.  They celebrate here with shooting each other with foam and water and throwing confetti.  I hear no one is spared.  All week the school aged kids have been smashing eggs on each other too.  Pretty much everyone has Monday and Tuesday off too, me included!  If we had known earlier we would have planned a trip, but we also want to experience Carnival too.  We may go for a day visit somewhere though which will be fun.  The kids at the daycare pretty much just played all day shooting each other with foam and water.  Lucas loved it, but Melayna was not a big fan.  The kids really got a kick out of shooting the teachers.  It was actually nice to have the kids want to chase me around and spray me.  It felt like we truly belonged.  Lucas also had a few of the boys that had been mean to him play with him and tell him secrets.  Of course, he has no idea what they said, but he just smiled all the same.  Melayna has found two older girls that take here places on the playground and help her use the bathroom and wash her hands.  She prefers them over me.  It is wonderful to see them thriving.  After seeing the big deal they made at the day care about this weekend, I am looking forward to a good weekend.  We will just have to remember our extra clothes.
