Friday of Fun!

We had a lot going on here last Friday. Some friends from the church had a visitor from Tennessee who had raised money to buy things for our kids. She came on Friday with a bag packed for each child with their name on. Inside were a new pair of jeans, a shirt, and a new toothbrush.



Mindy also brought some communal toys for the house. She is a kindergarten teacher so she knew it would be best to show the toys to the kids in a group instead of having them all just rush to the toys.

After she left, it was time to celebrate Antoni's 7th birthday. He picked a banana cake this time and it was good!

And then it was FINALLY the littlest boys turn to go to Tia Naomi's house. We have had a countdown going for a while. The last half an hour of waiting seemed to be the hardest for them! We stopped on the way home to pick up some fried chicken. The lady there was very nice and gave them a package for free. These masks and a very annoying sounding toy came with it. Very annoying. I figure she gave them away because no sane parent would buy something like that for their own children. Anyway, they thankfully broke them within the first half hour so we were good.

They sure looked cute in their masks! (Antoni, Noe, Wilfer)

I think they thought they won the lottery for dinner. Fried chicken, Kraft Dinner, bread and pop. They enjoyed every bite while watching a movie. And don't forget the popcorn! That came a little later but they were denied refills on pop. Again, it wasn't me who would have to change sheets in the morning!

On the weeked a group of our kids also went to visit a Home for kids with AIDS. If I can find pictures of that I will post them. They take a treat and a juice for each of the 70 kids and spend time playing with them, reading with them, and sharing Jesus' love. It is good for our kids to go out and have a bigger understanding of the world and see things that other people are suffering with.

We hope you have a blessed week!
