Hello hello, well I have to start this entry by announcing, if you weren`t already aware, of the trouncing of Notre Dame by Penn State this past weekend. Jenny, who went to Notre Dame, and I checked when it would air on tv and that it would be on ESPN and despite all our efforts, didn`t get to see it. Apparently what they broadcast in the States isn`t the same in Mexico. Go figure, why wouldn`t all of Mexico want to see a college football game. So instead of course we watched the Pachucan futbol game and they won too so it was a happy ending. Also, I left my coat in a taxi accidentally last weekend and it`s been interesting trying to find a new one. I`d almost rather get one sent from home. We tried the mall here on Friday night and it`s really nice, we felt like we were back in the States. It`s rainy here for a little almost every day and it gets chilly. But apparently the winter doesn`t get that cold. But I really wish I`d brought my coats from home! I know they are just sitting in the closet waiting for me at Christmastime.
In other news....kids are doing great, I think I`ve found a better balance in using Spanish as little as possible and still being able to control my kiddos. We started learning the letter H this week. Its interesting that the program were using doesnt do the alphabet in order. Also, I just found out today that our class will be short 2 workbooks all year so that will be interesting. Tomorrow we will draw the number 1, hhaa, I love preschool.
Well, this weekend is going to be one to remember. Its Mexico`s Independence Day. On Friday All preschool grades will be putting on a show that they`ve prepared and our kids will dance La Bamba. Then the parents are putting together food for everyone to celebrate. On Saturday Jenny, Stuart, and I got invited by our friend Christian to spend the holiday with him. I think we`ll go to the soccer game and then out to eat downtown before the Grito at 11pm downtown and to celebrate with his family. Apparently this is a big family holiday, no much unlike July 4th. But the late Grito party kind of makes me think of New Year's. So we`ll see how it goes. I want to buy a Mexican flag and a red white and green scarf. Everything looks like Christmas because of the Mexican colors. We are very excited.
Okay thats all for now, I`ll write again early next week, thanks for writing Aunt Lynne! Good to hear from you and glad to know you found my blog.
