The noise was perplexing.  And loud.

The boys had just headed outside with all of the Spanish teacher’s materials to load up her car.  The nieve (snow) on the ground was so inviting to los estudiantes (the students) who had spent the last 90 minutes expanding their vocabulary.

I’m not sure who started the snowball fight, but son A ran to the door just as son B prepared to aim his snowball.  Son B released the snowball before he realized that son A was opening said door.

The noise was perplexing.  And loud…

And the Spanish teacher laughingly noted that she had raised four daughters and had never experienced this sort of thing.

She has no idea.

Mama’s birthday

We had multiple birthday activities…

Sunday night we had dinner here with Nan and Nene.  Nan collaborated with John to make a wonderful roast beef & mashed potatoes dinner.  John even made my third favorite cake. (The first two favorites are way too labor intensive for him and I was merciful.  😉  )

Then on my birthday we went to Olive Garden for dinner.

Doesn’t everyone like to eat a breadstick bigger than their head?
