Olympics

Our school has an annual Olympic sports event for all the students. Our kids competed against kids in their age groups. Last year we had just arrived from Mali and so our kids were pretty out of shape. This year they trained more, but unfortunately still didn't fare very well. Luke got 2nd in shotput, but Faith and Zach did not earn any awards. Unfortunately our kids are not very competitive - not quite sure how that happened with me as a Mom. They are definitely not built for speed! All in all they had fun and did better than they did last year. Here are some pictures from the day:













Here is a funny thing that happened to us this week. Our cook, whom we have had problems with, doesn't have a clue most of the time. Thursday I had asked her to cook a chocolate cake with frosting. She was very proud of the fact that she went above and beyond the call of duty and added sprinkles. Upon further investigation, she put rainbow sprinkles and bacon bits. They were sitting next to each other on the shelf. Culturally I guess bacon bits is a foreign concept!
