Today was a nice, breezy and light-labor day. Ryan and I took some of the group from Kanasas out to paint, install a window, and finish up some other small tasks at Santa Maria. The window is installed and now provides Margarita with light, a nice breeze, and a place for hot air and smoke from the kitchen to escape. This small task of installing a window will make a world of difference for her.
After the volunteers left for the day, Ryan and I took Allysa Allen (juntos servimos board member and education expert) to Larry and Nancy's. She along with her daughter and son will be staying with us for the night which brings the total of people in the house to a whopping 10 people.
Today I found myself always laughing. I laughed at a young high school girl tripping over a bucket of paint, the jokes of Margarita and Irvin (who has been helping me paint). I also laughed as Alexis and I played again today, engaging in tickle wars. I also enjoyed watching him come up with deceptive and creative ways to sneak up on me.
Even after "work" ended, the laughter continued. I just finished watching the Simpsons movie with Mrs. Allen's young children. Will, 7 years old, was quoting the movie and begging me to "watch this part!" I enjoyed laughing at the jokes that were tailored for adults, and at the ones tailored for kids. It can be fun to lower your sense of humor to that of a 7 year old at times...
It has been a great day so far, and there is talk of going to the taco stand tonight for dinner; so I'm pumped.
Have a laughter-filled evening,
Matt
