Poor little orphans still have to vacuum the house:
The pollywog collection was in need of relocation. So, it went from the bowl in the house to the wheel borrow and now they are in the creek:
A snapshot of the Orphans in this house:
"Mom, do orphans in India have shoes?" "Nope, not the ones your age." "Then how are we going to get to the creek to let the pollywogs go?"

They made it down the road and down the hill to the creek just fine, actually surprised themselves that it was possible to do it without shoes!
WASH DAY:
"Mom, I need new pants, these are gross."
"Well, you can wear the pants you wore yesterday."
"But, those are gross too."
"Then you will have to wash them."
Since Orphans don't have trampolines we can't let them go to waste. They serve us well as a clothes dryer.
Sleeping accommodations:
Sleeping accommodations:
Orphans in India get concrete, a grass mat, and a small little something to cover themselves up.
The little orphans in this house get the board of their bed, a fleece blanket, and a little something so they don't get slivers (they won't get slivers but...), and NO PILLOW!!
We stacked their mattresses up for the end of the week.
I guess they have a few coloring books in India so we had a couple and used the colored pages for making paper airplanes.
And again, we use our hands to eat our RICE and this afternoon we got a sprig or two of broccoli!

Wow, you even took the mattresses off their beds. Super-impressed!
