Day Adventures: Feliz Dia de la Madre

Today they had a party at the special needs school to celebrate mothers. It was very sweet. They invited me and the kids too. We left the daycare a little early and headed up there. When we got there everyone was outside dancing and having a good time. I was greeted at the gate by a great hug from Juan Carlos and then each kid came up to me one by one and hugged me and sometimes the kids. It really made me feel so welcome and so loved. We ate a great lunch with all the moms and hung out for a little bit with the kids. There was a band singing and playing music during our lunch too. They had a little presentation to thank me for being there, and then they gave me some beautiful flowers. It was really nice. It is always nice to be appreciated. Lucas helped me carry the flowers home and did a great job and Melayna fell asleep on my back. At the daycare we also helped with Mother's Day projects, painting hands and drawing hearts on the back of pictures I had taken of the kids. Lucas gave me a sweet pen flower that he had made. We also made a little present from Pinterest for Veronica our host mother when we got home. All in all it was a good day of making things and being thanked. (Sorry about missing last night's blog. I downloaded pictures to make a memory book and lost track of time.)
