Butterfly

I walked Ella to school today, my first time to to this since this is Donald’s duty ;-) The school is far for me, I don’t know what Ella thinks about it. After I ushered her inside the classroom, I waived goodbye and went to the seamstress to check on her uniforms. The woman was still sewing the second uniform and told me to get back in the afternoon. I was a little bit dissapointed. The yellow piping in the collar are not even and the thread she used on the inside of the green skirt is YELLOW :roll:

When I got home, I asked Donald to prepare all the hangers then I changed clothes and went to do the laundry at the back. While I am washing and Donald was hanging clothes, a cab stopped by infront of the gate and off came Ella. One of her classmates was fetched by her father and they happen to pass a little girl with pink umbrella…gave her a ride home. Thanks to them…Ella baby fats are saved from getting burned from walking. :lol: As I told you guys before, we forgot to fetch her at school during laundry day. She can manage well to walk home only we worry that she might get hurt along the way. There isn’t much vehicles that passes by the road that we take but we worry about her being kidnapped. :lol:

While we are still washing clothes, Donald saw a big butterfly up in the coconut leaves. It thrilled Donald so much as it was the first time he saw such butterfly. Though I saw a much bigger one way back in highschool, I was excited too. The butterfly stayed up in the coco tree as if watching me doing the laundry.

After hanging all the clothes, we went in and prepared lunch. Ella went with Inang and Tatang in their house…while there she was asking them to bring her home. They told her they will have their lunch first but Ella said “Ako na lang uuwi…magtakbo-takbo lang ako hanggang sa bahay.” (I will go home alone, I will just run to our house) Then Inang asked her if she knows where our house is and she answered, “Hindi nga eh…” (Nope). :-)

We forgot about the butterfly and we thought it was gone. But just before dinner, it went flying inside the house! Ella was asking us if it was Mamang Eling and began talking to it. It was like trying to see our place….it went to the kitchen window….

then it went down to my sewing machine (as I was making a shoe pocket for Ella)…posed in there….

then flew to the wall underneath my handmade wall decor….it was really like Mamang Eling…she posed in there and seemed so proud that I personally sew and hand painted the wall decor….

Ella went near it and carefully examined it…..

 then asked to get a photo of her and the butterfly.

In Ella’s eyes…this buttefly was Mamang Eling. She said Mamang came to visit and see if we are doing fine. As I was making this post, it was still there resting on the wall.
