Sushi, candy & clowns (and books)

i'm sorry, what do you want me to do?

I didn't drown in queso. I did, however, have some pretty spectacular sushi. Sushi is different here. Shrimp is pretty much standard in all the basic rolls, instead of crab. I don't eat shrimp, but we figured it out. It was a good night. Caden had a good time, again, at Luis' house....and is going back again this evening.

 Was super excited to receive our first book donation, from a wonderful woman named Margaret, who lives in Mexico City. She doesn't even know me, but is keeping up with my blog, and sent two boxes of books. The kids were beyond excited. Thank you, Margaret. You made our week.

We moved yesterday, from the campus that is literally within a two minute walk from my house, to the new campus, which is about a 20 minute drive. It was a long day, and I was impressed with all the kids who showed up to help. I appreciate that the school has been wanting a new building for years, but I really prefer the older building. It's more open, and it just has so much character. (That was also my frame of thought when I bought my 1940's house in Texas, which was a money pit.)

Also got a box of goodies from Texas, that included lamps, candy, toys (Caden cried), mugs and magnets for the fridge. Thank you, Matt.

yes please

And to end this post, I want to address the clown situation, here. It's slightly out of hand. On the street corners, in the grocery stores. Outside my window. I could do without the clowns.
