A Few Pictures

First, a picture of my one of my 5th and 6th grade classes making Valentines. My mom's co-worker's girl scout troop (are they called troops, too?) had sent us valentines, and my students thought that was SO COOL! We ran out of time making these valentines in return, but I told them that if they wanted to finish them at home and bring them back to me, I would send them to America. But that means I would have to figure out how to do that. Hmm.

On Monday night I went to a "Victory Day" concert, which, from what I could understand was commemorating the day the soviet army left Afghanistan. I tried to find more information about it online, but couldn't. So, I don't really know what was going on. Anyway, here's a picture...I LOVED that picture that they had displayed. There were a couple of those "we love our guns" pictures. Pretty funny. But they played pretty typical Russian-sounding songs (don't know what I mean by that? Don't worry, you're not missing out on anything. I took a video, but I'm not patient enough to upload it right now) and they were continually asking the audience to sing a long. There were a few old guys down front who were getting really into it and it made me smile.

And finally - the hat I crocheted. Sorry it's kind of a crappy picture, but had I remembered to put the flash on and went to the trouble of finding a spot with good lighting, it wouldn't have improved my face or make-up or tired eyes any, so this is as good as it gets. :)
