Olympics Food!

We've realy enjoyed the Olympics so far. One of the best parts is all the Italian food we've been eating! Here are a couple of pics from Opening Ceromonies night:

Our Antipasto tray


Hot Cross Buns that the kids made. You can't see the frosting "cross" very well, but it's on there. My kids wouldn't leave the frosting off! lol


D has been getting into the Olympics, too. He's been eating ALL the food, and requesting more Italian dishes. ROFLOL

Physical Education

A parent who works at a local ministry with a gym, has started a weekly physical education class for homeschoolers. We have a retired teacher teaching the kids, and he's really good with them. The kids really like him.

The kids really enjoyed this time. Even though they were sore for a few days! lol
