Thursday all three kids participated in Rumbai's Got Talent.  They did an amazing job.  I am hoping to upload video soon.  Kade was in the grade 3/4 bubble gum skit.  Kade loves physical comedy so it was perfect for him.  Sydney performed in the middle school dance routine.  Brooklyn and Kade did an animal act.  Brooklyn was supposed to be a Sumatran Tiger but there was a communication lapse between myself and our sewing lady.  She turned her into a zebra which did not work with our skit so we turned her into the very rare Sumatran White Tiger.  I know...I know it was a stretch.  Brooklyn did a great job selling it.  She was an amazing little tiger.

ISR Easter Party

Yesterday was the annual ISR Easter party. The party started at five because we had to wait for it to cool down so all the candy would not melt. :) The kids did not mind the late start because it meant that they would get to hunt for eggs in the dark. How fun is that?

Water Relay - the first team to fill up the water bottle with is the winner. Sydney was a good sport because she had a lot of little kids on her team. She was pretty wet by the end of the race.

Brooklyn has on a flashing whistle because her Mom is a safety freak.

Last year I had the hardest time finding her in the dark. This year she was easy to spot.

The Easter bunny made a visit to Rumbai.

A Night at the Theater

Brooklyn waiting for the play to start. Do you think she is having a good time?

Yesterday was the Spring Play. I am always blown away by how well these productions are done. Kindergarten and preschool put on a little mini-production prior to the play starting. It was adorable. Brooklyn loved it because all the songs had a Chinese theme and a few were actually sung in Chinese. The mini production even had a dragon and ribbon dance. Brooklyn was in heaven. She LOVES a stage. I can't wait to get her back into dance when we get back to the States.

Kade and Sydney were both in the play. Sydney was a dragon student and Kade was the classroom officer/hall monitor. They did a great job. I did not take any pictures of the big kids because the kids came out in the audience and I did not want to mess them up. Sorry about that.

I am so excited that Spring Break has finally started. I was beginning to think it would never come. It is been a couple of LONG weeks and we are ready to relax a bit. On Tuesday, we will head to Kuala Lumpur and enjoy the city till Saturday. Kuala Lumpur is such an easy place to hang out. There is lots to do and the food is amazing.

Tomorrow the plan is to go the orphanage and hang out with the kids. I love spending time there and can't wait. I need to come up with some fun new things to do. Any ideas? It is tough to plan because you never know exactly how many kids you are going to have. I am looking forward to seeing my two little buddies Hannah and Lisa. I know the transition of moving to the orphanage has been tough on Lisa. She is five and being abandon by her family has to be tough. The good news is she is not alone. Her brother and sister are also at the orphanage. They will get to stay together. I am excited for them to start settling in. I have seen some big changes in them the last few weeks and I am eager to see how all of them are doing.
