I have been room mom or helping since Dylan has been in school. You would love it and the kids would love it too!!! I know you would be great and I completely understand about sticking up for your children. If you don't, who will??? You're their voice in Portugal and I think you should continue being the great mother that I know you are! I love you!The Webbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09372324451070874591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-4647858778917690192008-09-11T15:07:00.000+01:002008-09-11T15:07:00.000+01:00I know when you was at church the kids loved you,D...I know when you was at church the kids loved you,Dillon always thought you was very funny& cool.I think its a great plan for you.I was one when mine was in school, I loved it.And I also think you need to decorate that room,the kids will think your even cooler than that you care for them that much. That is if the whats her name don't care.<BR/><BR/>Let us know what you do,,,<BR/>love BeckaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-83721968212450005122008-09-11T06:46:00.000+01:002008-09-11T06:46:00.000+01:00Oh wow girl, I'm nervous for your kids just readin...Oh wow girl, I'm nervous for your kids just reading this. If it's any consolation, Croatian class rooms basically look the same. Hey do your girls have to wear house shoes in the school? Here in Croatia they can't wear regular shoes instead they have to have a pair of house shoes there and they are only allowed to wear those while in school. <BR/>Anyhow, they don't decorate here either. It's more like "business as usual".<BR/><BR/>I'm sure things will pan out and the girls will settle in and everything will be great. <BR/><BR/>I think you would be an awesome room-mom but knowing Europeans, I don't know if Mrs. Fatima (is that her real name?) would go for it. <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, happy PTA!Tori Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859488167015452608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-75391869826926849692008-09-11T06:20:00.000+01:002008-09-11T06:20:00.000+01:00If schools in Portugal are similar to those in Equ...If schools in Portugal are similar to those in Equador, there just isn't money to decorate. Our missionaries visiting the school actually put swatches/scraps of material on the walls of the classroom just to have something colorful in the room. It also helped the younger children learn their colors.<BR/><BR/>With your homemaking skills you will make a great room mother. If the teachers don't know what that is, introduce them to the wonderful idea. From all your photos it seems the local people enjoy any kind of a party!<BR/><BR/>Brooklyn has lots of people praying for her. Last night our bible study group spread the word about her challenge, so tell her all the prayers will be answered. She is a delightful young lady, and as God provided Moses the abilities needed, He will provide for Brooklyn too. Share that thought with her.<BR/><BR/>Love,<BR/><BR/> ASAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-37747111749984763002008-09-11T03:16:00.000+01:002008-09-11T03:16:00.000+01:00Is it public or private?

It's not going to be the same, because you are in a completely different culture. I would advise you to just go along for the ride. Who knows, you might learn something! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-53396575615453979132008-09-11T00:28:00.000+01:002008-09-11T00:28:00.000+01:00What can I say....

Since the girls are not teens yet it is okay, you are still cool at this point. I can't wait to follow this blog. I wish I could come to visit before the school year is over.
