That is the cheer they say A LOT here and I was very happy to have it said for me for the first time ever at work on Thursday. I didn`t do anything particular, in fact, I was sharpening pencils for the kids and they started the cheer.

I love everyday when I get to work I`m greeted with a group hug and lots of "LISA LISA LISA!" I can`t think of a better way to start the day.

Today the english teacher told me my spanish is getting better, which is always encouraging.

Israel is always full of questions and he commonly asks me why my eyes are green. The last couple days he`s hit me with all sorts of questions: Do I have any friends? Where are they? Where is my sister (not sure how he knew I had a sister)? Why are my eyes green? Why do I speak English? Why is my hair yellow? It`s good practice for me to work through answering all his questions in spanish.

On Fridays the kids get to dress down (in sweatpants and tennis shoes) for gym class (which didn`t happen today and I`m still not sure why...Melissa thinks the gym teacher quit). Regardless the kids showed up in their Friday gear and all of them wanted to show off their tennis shoes. It was so cute to see them so excited about it!

Here gusta/o means I like you...quiero means I like you a lot...amor means love. Felipe, one of the super smart kids who can definitely be a trouble maker (he`s actually the only kid I ever sent to the office), looks over at me and says "Yo quiero mucho." It just made my day as I sat in the sun while they were doing a little exercise for them to move around, but organizedish. We`ve had GREAT weather this week. I think it got into the 80s everyday. It`s made my exercise sessions on the roof all the more enjoyable.

So there are a few random stories from work to wrap up my week of postings on work at the guardaria.

Kitchen Safety

We moved!  We're in our new place and we just got wifi.  Wahoo! I definitely broke in the kitchen quickly.  I was making a panini type sandwich for a potluck get together so I preheated the oven.  The next thing I knew the fire alarm was going off.  Let me tell you they did not skimp on a very loud fire alarm.  Ahhhhhhhh I opened the oven, which I know you're not supposed to do.  In the moment, I think I needed to see what I was dealing with.  There were definite flames.  Ahhhhhhhh So I called Mike while trying to google what to do.  He was super calm the entire call while I freaked out (it probably helped that he couldn't see the smoke billowing out of the oven).   He said to throw baking soda on it.  I did.  It seemed to fizzle but came back. I searched the apartment for a fire extinguisher (maybe I should have looked for one before this moment). This is while I kept trying to silence the fire alarm (to no avail) and open windows to let out smoke. Then Mike

I have a few things to update on today =) Oh I just finished the best meal I've had since I arrived and it was oh sooooo good! I'm so full and happy right now! It was a mexican meal so at least i know i'm going to the right country. yesterday Tere asked me to lead a little yoga class. automatically i said yes because that's how i am, but on the walk from the classroom to outside i started to get nervous. the only person i ever lead in yoga was karen & she laughed the majority of the time (it doesn't really count). i just took deep breaths and i did it. it actually was great. once we started i was able to integrate some favorite posses of the people in the class it was great towards the end when marcelle (who is rather soft spoken, but i love her) lead a few poses as well. i was actually happy with myself. namaste i love our group. everyone is similar that we all have this interest to do missionary work, but we are all very unique and different at the s

Spring!

Yes, I know it is not spring yet.   Today's the meteorological beginning of spring or something, isn't it? I definitely suffered some winter blues last month (yeah, it's March!). Check out these tulip fields for your Friday! Normann Szkop  took awesome photos while flying over Dutch  tulip fields . ( via ) p.s. Two days later I'm still feeling amazing after my juice cleanse .  Yes, it's possible that's not what it's from, but considering nothing else has really changed (except starting a new month, which I am so excited about), it's getting the credit. HAPPY FRIDAY & HAPPY MARCH!
