First of all....
Happy Mother's Day to my absolutely AMAZING Mom!
Wish I could have spent it with you.
All week I have been teaching about Mother's Day at school.
Making cards and teaching the kids the song "You Are My Sunshine!"
~
Tuesday afternoon Hai Chien had a Mother's Day performance that I attended.
They presented cards and flowers to all the moms and surprise... Me too.
I find it a bit disturbing receiving a card that says "This is to mommy" but after getting cards from several other Mother's Day cards from the kids in my classes, I just pretend that they say "To my big sister."
They're sooo cute!
Here are some of my students performing a song on the eucalaylie.
Some more of my students doing karaoke.
The kids LOVE doing this.
Gem and I performed the hymn "In The Garden" together.
It went pretty well for only having practiced for about twenty minutes right before the performance began.
Haha... Talk about waiting till the last minute!
Me and Lisa (one of the office workers at Hai Chien).
She's sooo fun!
Eva and Dora from my super fun 3rd grade at my Tuesday school with the
special picture the class made for Mother's Day.
Sunday morning I went to the church in Dajia.
The kids had a special performance were they sang some songs.
It sounded great, even though I couldn't understand much of
what they were saying since it was in Chinese.
After church, Johnny and BreAnne, fellow English teachers with IBLP, came to visit.
We hung out at the Huang family's house for the afternoon playing dodge ball and Uno.
The Huang's two dogs, JeDee and Money didn't like Johnny very much.
I don't think the Chinese song and dance he performed for them helped at all, either.
They are still barking ferociously in this picture... BreAnne and I
(the sensible ones, of course) simply enjoy the show.
We all went out to eat for dinner and I got hot pot.
Yummy!
Just to note, I didn't eat the pig blood cake served with it!

It was a fun weekend, but I still missed spending it with my totally awesome mom.
<3 I'll be sure to make up for it next year! <3
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!
Lol fun times. Those dogs look like they don't like him very much "You get his right arm and i'll get his left!" ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah, they were barking like crazy at him.
ReplyDeleteBut then again, the dogs did the same thing to me the first few times a visited the Huang's.
Trust me though when I say I didn't do a song and dance to get the dogs to like me!
