A colleague of Ray's invited us to her home on Saturday night. Elyssebeth is well travelled and every nook and cranny in her house is filled with wonderful treasures. Hanna says she thinks her house is going to look like that when she grows up. I always enjoy being around the world of academia. It seems that the conversations are deeper and more global and rarely do they talk about specific people (unless it's political). Or maybe it's just that the only professor friends we have are international and not american. I'll have another post to generalize about americans later! :-) We had a wonderful time, met another super nice Aussie family and had a delicious feast. The girls made "fairy bread" for the very first time. Marra's favorite part was using the butter knife. She had a nice pile by the time she was done but I think she perfected the art of spreading butter. The girls went outside using a torch to look for spiders, watched movies (taking breaks to play 'hot potato' and 'piggie in the middle' with some pillows), and hide and seek (children's games really are cross cultural). We travelled by public transport from the library, hence a bit late because we still haven't quite figured out the public transport system, and we got to walk some more (the pounds are just falling off, HA!)

Fairy bread! I must have the recipe! LOL! (looks like bread, butter, & sprinkles?) Do they put the speed limit ON the street there? Is that what the 40 is on the ground? I love Marra's hair! Did you cut the bangs yourself? Savannah is now asking daily for me to check the blog and tell her how many days the countdown says. :o)
Huh, I was thinking Marra already had bangs, and sure enough, I looked and she did? Her hair looks different....maybe it's grown longer???? LOL
