Hammer Time

Well, it wasn't exactly a hammer, but it was still fun. In "honor" of Cinco de Mayo (yes I know it wasn't actually the 5th of May, but we fit it in where we can) we had a pinata (you got to use any excuse you can to have fun :D) We used a blow-up toy to make sure that the pinata didn't break on the first hit (we were using a pinata that had been used before and actually only had one layer of paper on it)- though we ended up having to just turn it over and dump out the candy :D. Sorry the pictures are small (you can click them to make them bigger), but I figured that this was better than uploading 50 pictures.

I love that the Teachers got involved and I especially love Stephanie's look on her face .

The 5 year old's- we made sure that Jimmy and Kevin went last so that everyone else got a turn.

An Invitation

On Wednesday I was talking with Yuling about getting train tickets for Andrea and I got to Taipei for the weekend of the 22nd so that we could go to the Temple and do some shopping. As I was talking with Yuling about it my tutor student Leslee came in, she handed me an envelope. I asked what it was and her Mom said that it was an invitation to a garden party at Leslee's kindergarten school, but that it sounded like we were going to be out to town. I said that we weren't sure yet, when we got upstairs Leslee said something to her mom, her mom said that she was really worried about us not being able to come to her garden party.

I told her that I bet that Andrea and I could talk about it and go to Taipei a different weekend so that we could go to her party. She got very happy.

This is the second time that they have invited me to something, they are always very sweet and give me a card with a note written by Leslee and a note written by Leslee's mom Becky with directions how to get to the place.

Thursday Leslee and her mom stopped by the school again to give Yuling something, her mom asked Andrea if we had decided what we were going to do, she told her that we were going to go to Taipei a different weekend so that we could come to the party, she said that she would tell Leslee and that she would be very relieved, that she had been worried about whether we would come or not.
