K and F at the Swedish booth
Originally uploaded by annamaren.It's hard to describe our adventures at the International Festival today. I take K every year, we've been going on the weekend of the event. This year I thought it would be fun to go on a weekday when they are only open for school events. I thought it would be less crowded, and K would be able to spend more time with the people at their booths, asking questions etc etc...
However today made the weekend look tame. It was crazy today. More than just crazy- it was likely not legal to smoosh that many people in the Exposition Hall at one time. Walking through the crowds of school kids was nearly impossible. Talking to anyone was crazy, we had to yell at each other at times, because the crowd noise was so intense.
It was a relief to sit down in some chairs and watch the action on the main stage- not just because the dancers were so beautiful, but because it was a relief from crowd surfing.
When I got home I felt like I had been at a concert- my ears were ringing, my voice was a little hoarse and I had a headache.
One part of me is glad that Indiana students are so interested in the International Festival that it would be that popular, but the other part of me is vowing to never go on a school day again.
Phew!
Bread of the dead
Originally uploaded by justynrebecca.We must have the scariest Spanish Class ever. Today we celebrated Day of the Dead and we had bread of the dead that the girls had baked yesterday........ I swear it looked a lot friendlier in real life! And it was very tasty! It's just that this is how it looked in Tia Justyn's photo! AUURGHHH!
Nearly done!

K was able to correctly guess from her results which was mama's favourite kind of candy out of all the Halloween stash..... : )
Sorting the candy that we gave away....
Originally uploaded by annamaren.Oh the joys of Halloween math- we sorted, we made deductions, we grouped, we labeled and we graphed!
This was the sorting of the candy and erasers that we were going to give away to the trick or treaters that came to our house...... we sorted to graph by individual candy types. Although we did group for chocolate/ non chocolate, wrapper main color, size etc etc also.
You can see K making notes on how many in each pile here.
On how he doesn't like the wool sweaters I wear " I don't like this one mama. It feels too spicy on me"
On me approaching with a hairbrush in hand before church "Hey- I don't want to be your handsome- I already am handsome!"
