After our morning devotional this morning, I began serving breakfast. The kids were excited about the program at school. Reina rushed through her breakfast, brushed her teeth and hurriedly put on a monkey costume. I was busy with breakfast and making sure every one brushed their teeth as they finished breakfast. I was glad Reina did that by herself.
The fact that Reina was a monkey in the program is a story in itself. She was not assigned a part. She went to her teacher and said why don't I have a part in the play. I want to be in it, too. On Thursday, the teacher told her if she was good all day Friday, she could be a monkey. The partof the play in which she starred, did not originally have a monkey in it, did not need a monkey in it, but there was a monkey in that skit. That was really nice of the teacher to let a monkey stand with three other little girls, one being Sisi, that were dressed as professional women. After the skit, the monkey costume was hot and Reina wanted to take it off. Since she had not put any clothes on before she put on the costume, that wasn't really an option. She just had to be hot.
We got through breakfast, brushing teeth, chores and getting ready to leave for school. We were told the mothers had to be there at 9:00. The program finally started around 10:00. Each grade had at least one skit or song or dance. Some had more. After the Honduran national anthem was sung, and this song is very long and they sing all the verses, Katty started things off, by reciting a little poem. She was so cute standing up there.
Pamela was in a dance group, Antonio a singing group, Fernando and Ana were in a cute skit. Jackson wore a bag on his head. Daniela and Jose were in a group that held letters spelling "Te Amo Mama" They had a little poem to say starting with the letter they were holding. The funny thing was the teacher lined them up backwards and to the audience it said AMAM OMA ET.
Of course, the mothers were served a very delicious meal. The kids were not served much at all and we had to come home and fix lunch.
The program was very nice and the teachers spent a great deal of time preparing for it. Thanks to the children for a wonderful program.

Kind of looks dangerous having those bags on their heads...i hope they cut a hole out to breathe.
Hondurans really have long programs...don't they? i would hate to be in a monkey suit for that long!
