Carnaval

The Carnaval (the Spanish spelling) season in Spain is very similar to that of Mardi Gras.  Parades take place all over the country and in the schools.  All last week led up to the big festival that was suppose to be held on Friday.  However, we had quite the snowy/rainy/nasty weather, so our school postponed the parade until Monday.

Last Monday I blogged about the face painting incident.  It wasn't a huge fiasco, but my girls sure stood out in their full coverage face paint, unlike the rest of the kids with red dots or butterflies on the cheeks.  Oh well, we didn't get scolded.  Ha!

The girls on Monday

Brennan stayed home due to a fever, but I didn't leave him out.

 (he was a character from Yo Gabba Gabba, in case you're wondering)

Tuesday was 2 different socks.  We decided to go with a bit of a crazy match.

Wednesday was wear a bow tie, which we don't have so we didn't participate.  However, in both Brennan & Karis' classes, they made paper bow ties (Reegan was home with a fever on bow tie day, but I made her one at home).

 And Thursday was hat day, plus wear everything worn from each previous day!

Ugh, grainy pictures, but hey, the problem has been solved!  When Jerry was out of country at a meeting he got one of the media team cameras and we now have a nice, top of the line Canon.  Really great camera, so hopefully we will have better pictures!  We did get our claim money too and plan to do some further camera shopping!  Woohoo!

Stay tuned for parade pictures!
