If you can believe it the countdown is on for the end of school and there is even more to do!
Romania announced that June 1st is to be Children's Day, and a holiday! But because the schools didn't know about it before hand they couldn't give the kids a day off, SOO they have a sports day instead. I think the kids had great fun running around, tossing balls, playing games, there was even water involved so they got a little wet and cooled off. We went to watch for the first hour, then because Greg got the day off as well, we went to Therme to spend a lovely child free day (because what better way to celebrate children's day!)
The first weekend of June was a three day weekend, so we spent it with friends hanging out by the pools, grilling. The men decided they had to have ribs in their lives, so I went to a local market, Obor Market. I got 15 racks of ribs, and 4 pounds of sausages, all for 50$!!! It was great. The boys cooked them up all day, oh the horror of having to sit by a BBQ for 6 hours drinking beer and checking on the meat! It turned out great though!
We took the kids to a living history museum that is in town so that we could all see a little of what it used to be like to live in Romania back 'in the olden days!' It was very interesting to see how people used to live in another part of the world.
The next school week brought on a few school concerts for Lillian. She was in the school choir, so they had a concert for that. Her class also put on a concert. So it was a lot of fun for her to sing, and a lot of fun for us to watch! Lillian also had an end of year Girl Scout Pool Party, which went great, but we are still not sure if we will continue with GS next year. (I haven't sorted out how to put videos on here yet so... maybe those will come with time)
All in all it was an extremely busy week, especially for Lillian, who ended up staying home on Friday sleeping off a bug on the couch.
I had a BIG day on friday, I went to get my hair colored, I turned it RED! I am currently loving it! I then went out with a few SSA ladies for a night out at a hidden garden bar in Bucharest. The really sad thing is it was probably the worst night weather wise in the last 2 weeks! It rained ALL day and was damp at night, but we had a few ladies show up and we had a lovely time.
We are ready for week 2 of June so bring it on!

This is a half buried house!
The horses heads in the front were to ward off evil
a road side cross
B decided to wake up and check it out too
