Flowers

I Thought I'd post a couple pictures of the beautiful flowers here in Haiti. Up in the mountains, where I am, everything is very lush and green. There aren't any flowers planted in the ground like there is in North America, but there are a lot of trees and bushes with beautiful flowers on them! It's especially nice on the walk to the Toddler House from the Main House, where there are lots of flowers hanging over the stone walls. It's really beautiful here!

It was really hot here today... I don't know how hot because I haven't seen a thermometer since I've been here, but it was probably around thirty degrees celcius. It was kindof funny, cuz all my kids fell asleep on me today. I just rotated them on one of the couches up on the balcony. When woke up, I replaced him with the one who'd just fallen asleep on me. I don't have any big poop stories today, but yesterday afternoon was pretty funny. First a little girl, who was getting ready to get into the bathtub, peed all over the floor. Maybe ten minutes later, one of my boys squirted diarrhea out the side of his diaper, down his leg and dripped it all over the floor. I picked him up and carried him to the bathroom. As soon as I put him up on the change table, more diarrhea exploded out of his diaper, ran down the side of the change table and made a big pool on the floor, splashing diarrhea all over my feet. I even had it on my shirt and pants. I ended up just sticking him in the bathtub and giving him a good scrub. He seemed pretty amuzed with the whole thing. I was pretty grossed out!
Then, not even a half hour after I had my boy cleaned up, another boy had a diarrhea explosion all over the floor. Thankfully only one of my kids exploded that day! It's kindof funny when you consider a really good day to just be when you don't have to clean up a diarrhea explosion! :o)
