My PERFECT 4th graders!

How can you not feel like a Queen walking into a classroom with children this well behaved!  I love this class!  Everyday after tea time, I walk into class and they are sitting quietly with their hands on their heads waiting for me to teach!  ...And every time it takes my breath away a little!  I love these little angels!

Cirque De Soleil

Last Saturday, Aaron and I headed up to Seoul to see Varekai, by Cirque De Soleil! It was a beautiful show under the big colorful tent!  

We both wanted to make it a nice date night and look extra nice for the event, but we had lots to see and do in Seoul before the show, so we got ready early in the morning and wore our fancy clothes all day.  Hence my messy hair!

Standing in line with my birthday present: the tickets!  Thank you A

Once inside the tent, we were told not to take any pictures or videos, but I couldn't resist!  I was stealth and sneaked in a couple videos, with my iphone, to remember the night!  Please don't tell on me! :)  ENJOY!

The show was fantastic and sitting in the 5th row was pretty sweet as well!  We could see everything up close and personal!  Such a great 30th birthday gift from my guy!

Weekend in Seoul.

In T-minus 1 hour, Aaron and I will be boarding a lightning fast KTX train to Seoul to spend the weekend with Jess and Carlos!  We'll also be catching the 8 o'clock showing of Cirque Du Soleil tomorrow night!  The weather in Seoul is supposed to be sunny and in the mid 60's, which is the nicest weather we've seen here in 6 months, so it should be a great trip!  See ya'll Monday!

Fancy Foto!

Aaron is always fine tuning his photography skills!  It's his favorite hobby these days, and sometimes I get to be a part of the fun!  This week, he took me to a subway station and had me stand completely still while a subway train whizzed by!  

I really love how the picture turned out.

 

Do I have to eat that?

School lunches in Korea are REALLY different from school lunches back in the states.  First of all, everyone eats the same lunch here! No one brings a packed lunch (including the staff)! Korean school lunches are always comprised of 5 things: rice, meat or fish, a vegetable, kimchi, and a soup.

Today's lunch though was CRAZY!!! 

I really wish I had my camera, but I didn't, so you'll just have to deal with my written descriptions!

We had:

white rice (Always yummy!)

soup with chinks of tofu and pumkin, slimy clams, and green onions.  (WTH!)

Then, the meat portion of the meal was squid and clams in red sauce.  (Eehhh!)

The vegetable portion was green onion stalks with anchovies in a honey sauce (double Eehhh!)

and of course, kimchi!

Believe it or not, I ATE ALL OF IT!  Every last bite... because that's what you do in Korea! 

I'm hoping tomorrow isn't so crazy!
