The kids put on a few performances for us this morning (I have video as well). Anna is Obi-Wan Kenobi, Henry is Santa Claus, and Sarah is Maleficent (from Sleeping Beauty). The story is that Maleficent tries to steal Santa's bag of toys but Obi-Wan strikes her down with his light saber and saves the day. There was also a version where Sarah was a bat because the costume wasn't as hot but the story was basically the same.
Sarah had pasta; I had vegetable curry with briyani rice. Mine was really good!
I got to have lunch with Sarah at school today as part of the school's program to have the parents taste the menu they are offering the kids. Each day in the primary school the kids have a choice of a hot lunch, packed-lunch, or vegetarian offering. I think they could dish out a bit more of the fruit & veggies with the meal, but the choices here are better than what I saw at our public school in Texas, that's for sure!
It took me an hour and a half to get Henry to school this morning! I was so worried that I'd miss the field trip. Unfortunately, the school buses also got caught in the traffic and it took them two hours to get to the museum! There was a wild & windy storm last night that had knocked over trees that caused the delays this morning.
Sarah & Henry are getting really good at waiting for Anna to try out different ballet classes. I liked this place better than the first, but Anna prefers place #1, so we'll go with that. Thankfully, Sarah & Henry aren't interested in doing more extra-curricular stuff right now (Anna & Sarah are doing yoga after school together on Thursdays).
