School normally starts in February. We just found out this year it will start January 15. Next week. I know that is Friday and doesn't make much sense. Sandra and I clapped when we found out this news. Some of the kids weren't quite as happy.
Dilcia and I pulled out the trunks of uniforms and shoes. Everyone was excited about trying on uniforms even if they are not excited about returning to school. We finally had everyone go outside and Dilcia patiently worked with one child at a time. They were nuts. Every single one of them was nuts over these uniforms. You would have thought it was Christmas again so soon.
Most everyone ended up with a uniform to fit except the older kids and that is because they have grown. Shoes were another story. There was a whole trunk of shoes and not many fit our kids. Some of the girls were pushing and shoving over the shoes. I explained that any one who did not have shoes to fit them, we would buy some. Nohemy was clapping and jumping and saying new shoes. Daniela was crying because there were none to fit her, in spite of the promise of new ones. There will need to be a bunch of new school shoes purchased. El Rey, here I come.
We usually serve supper at 6:30. It was almost 7:00 before we could get them in the showers and calm enough to eat. As crazy as things were last night, I was ready to send them off to school immediately.
Please remember to pray for the kids as the begin a new school year.
