Life: Idiotropic

Today was the Spring Fling at Tiara's school - the American elementary school. It's two hours of carnival type games and activities during which nearly 150 students are set loose to play and the teachers walk around with that end-of-the-school-year look of dazed relief. Arianna was able to attend with her old kindergarten class, but liked the freedom of having mom there so she could play where she wanted. The favorites, as usual, were the face painting booth and the bubbleology stations. Both Tiara and Arianna were encased in bubble - a sight that was really fun to see! They also had edible bubbles - another comedy to observe.





Tonight Lucienne graduated from preschool complete with cap and gown. The class sung and danced to classics like The Music Man, Twinkle Twinkle, and This Little Light of Mine. It was fun to watch and they all did a great job. At the end a teacher read aloud a story that they all had a audible part in. Luci was the bird, so every time the teacher said "little bird," Luci, sitting on a high step stool, rocked back and forth to make a squeaking sound. It was a little awkward, but cute.

After the ceremony we stayed for a BBQ/potluck with a delicious marzipan creme layer cake made by Cafe Schleypen that had a picture of the class on it. Luci got to eat the piece with her face on it!
