Well, what an exciting day! This morning we took our children to a "special" kids painting competition. Lots of children painting, mixed ages and disabilities, few with behavioural issues-as you can imagine we were fairly paint spattered and exhausted by the end of it! I was pleased to get an opportunity to actually watch a young man paint with his feet,was very talented. One of "our" children, Genesis, won first prize!!! Very proud moment for us. There were a couple of tv crews there filming and she was interviewed. Had fun at the end when of my little girls kept demanding to be interviewed too and ran up to the judges asking "what about me?" I'm afraid my soothing comments of Genesis winning for ALL of us and wasn't that nice for Genesis were apparently not convincing!

   Tonight I and Maria (the teacher I work with) went round to Ruths (other/headteacher) house for dinner. It was really fun, was so nice to get out and socialise with other women my age and just relax. We ended up by playing Spanish Trivial Pursuit. I have only played TP once in my life plus tonight was in Spanish and the girls speak no English!!! Thank heavens for expressive hand gestures ;) I was fully prepared to lose graciously and laugh it off with Christian forbearance however......I didn't lose!
