Yesterday I went on shift with the kids at 3:00. They were just getting up from their naps and rushing outdoors to play as I walked up. Most of them wanted to jump on the trampoline. I was letting two boys jump for 10 minutes and then 2 girls for ten minutes. Just as Maryuri and Ana got on the trampoline, the sky opened up and rain began to dump on us. To the kids disliking, we all went inside the house. Dilma got some games out and they began to play.
Normally on Saturday, showers begin somewhere around 5:30. We decided to let them shower and shampoo in the rain. If we had said we were taking them to the circus, they would not have been one bit more excited. They were jumping and screaming. Of course, the boys and girls were not in the same place.
It rained 2 1/4 inches in less than an hour, so the rain was coming down quite hard. But they decided to stand under the roof drip which was even harder. No one around here ever gets to shower with that much pressure. They were really lathering up, possibly using a bit more shampoo than was really necessary. There were laughs and giggles and squeals.
Nearly everyone decided to shower in the rain, but the few that didn't had to go ahead and take their showers in the house. Everyone was showered and in their pajamas by 4:30. Then we played games until supper time.
Kind of unusual entertainment, I know. But it was a get-in-your-pajamas-and-play-games kind of day.
