{Celebrating Culture:2010}

I love how the kids' school offers a lot of parent interaction events. My favorite of these activities is the Celebrating Culture day. We are extremely thankful that our kids have the wonderful opportunity to learn about diversity and different cultures.


With that said, I should have known better to order a Filipino costume for the kids ahead of time (must remember this next year). Luckily, Aunt Sonja and GG recently vacationed to Hawaii and picked up a matching Hawaiian outfits. Perfect sibling outfits. Just as Ed suspected, one of the parents asked us if we were Hawaiian. Thanks lady...for proving to my husband that he always right :)

Here's a family photo. William was too busy enjoying his pizzelle cookie. Each family brings in an international dish to share with the school. I cheated this year and bought roasted pork from a local Asian bbq store. Very similar to a Filipino dish called "lechon". It was a crowd favorite!

Music time with Mr. DougOne of the activities involved learning to use chopstick and focus on enhacing fine motor skils. Ed snapped these series of pictures of me trying to stop William from eating the cotton he picked up with his chopsticks. He has seen us used it numerous time to eat and he's been using the chopstick he got from Isaac's goodie bag to "eat" food.
