I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

My new junk food discovery: Simply Decadent ice cream made with coconut milk. Ridiculously yum.

My kids are making icecream today - but not with coconut milk. Although it crossed my mind.

Making ice cream with the kids sounds like fun. Though possibly messy.

I just looked at the nutrition facts on the coconut milk ice cream label. Yikes. 1/2 cup of ice cream has 40% of the daily allowance of saturated fat.

Well, I don't think that anything else I had today has any saturated fat, so I guess it evens out.

Much fun was had, and icecream was eaten by all. (The boys got to make and eat first, because they won the Opera-singing smackdown. To be honest, they weren't significantly better than the girls at singing along with O Mio Babbino Caro, but one of the girls decided that booing the boys, rather than applauding them after their turn, was the way to go. BAD call, that kid.)

Why yes, it IS International Week, and we ARE studying Italy. For a given meaning of the word 'studying' that really means 'building a replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, painting the Mona Lisa and hurriedly learning a few facts to announce in Assembly' - because it's been a short week, and Wednesday is always pretty much a write-off (they have Thai, French and a double swimming session, so I get to squeeze in maybe 2 and a bit sessions of teaching), teaching wise, we've had essentially a day and a half of learning about Italy. And then tomorrow we have the International Assembly, and then Travel Around The School visiting all the "different countries" in the classrooms, and then the mighty International Day Feast. (YUM!!!! There's always lots of good stuff, but the Indian parents especially tend to do us proud, and I'm seeing a lot of samosas in my immediate future...)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

In RI we called MA drivers Massholes, which I guess includes me now.

In Rome I was given the same advice about not looking the drivers in the eyes as a pedestrian. If they know you see them they assume you're not going to cross the street. Also that red lights were just a suggestion.
