Israel, Pizza and Daddy's Home!

I don't think E slept much last night. She was too excited. I thought it was a little odd to be so excited about a Geography Fair until we got to school this morning and one Mom told me her son slept in his costume last night. So, yay ... go Geography!

We got to school bright and early to set up E's table.

Then, the teachers called the 2nd graders to the middle of the gym to invite Jesus to be with us that morning. Ahhhh .... how I love this school! It is such a special, special place.

When the first class walked into the gym, I thought E was going to pass out. Or jump through the roof.

I was so proud of her. She took her part very seriously and carefully explained her country. Even the part when she told every.single.person that her Mama wouldn't make unleavened bread from scratch so she had to bring pita bread which really wasn't exactly what you would find in Israel because pita bread has a hint of yeast in it and unleavened bread doesn't and although it would have been great to have aunthentic unleavened bread this was really the best she could do.

She sold me out.

How many people in that gym would have known that wasn't unleavened bread?

And by the way, Mama had great intentions until after dinner last night. She still had to pack lunches, do laundry, bathe both girls and wash dishes. Pita bread suddenly became the way to go.

We didn't share that same opinion. To my defense, I did dust it with cinnamon, toast it and had honey to dip it in.

Hey, look who stopped by E's table? O's class. Look at her eyeing that pita bread. She doesn't care if it's authentic or not. That's my girl!

It all worked out.

I slipped out early to join O's class on a field trip to a local pizza restaurant where each child made his/her own pizza.

She made me one as well. I can't post a picture because I inhaled it quickly. Yummy!

We had a great day at school! Now, we're home early and anxiously awaiting for Eric to walk through the door. He's home from Texas! Yeehaw!
