Seventeen - also the number of hours it feels like we have been on the go... today.
Yesterday afternoon I spent at Seika helping set up for their annual Chibikko Bazaar. It was like a swarm of bees flew in, and in about two hours transformed the school from educational institute to:
And then the swarm of bees flew in and:
Gone!
I manned the American Bakery. All the "American" parents are asked to donate baked goods to sell. I tried my hand at Baklava. The consensus was, it turned out well! I laughed at the Japanese moms that were so excited to have Baklava - they hadn't had it since they lived in the States! I know what I will be making now for every bake sale!
Prizes were given out for bingo - Ian was the 15th to get a bingo. And he won (drum roll please)...
A brand new tractor-trailer!!!
Dougie was 65th... And he won (drum roll please)...
A bag of FREEZE DRIED TOFU!!!
Stefan was one of three that never got a bingo... They gave him a consolation prize. It was way better than the tofu... A Mister Donut mug (who would NOT want that?!?), a Disney hoodie blanket and a bag! Isn't there a saying about this... "Lucky Last"?
I got, as a thank you (drum roll please)...
A cookie on a stick! And a mirror - all in one! But that's not all, folks!
There is also the Sa-WEET tissue box! Literally! Ian thinks the pink one is a hamburger... funny :)
The big teddy bear that is in Seika's entry - it has shown up previously with Ian tackling and wrestling said bear. Well, tonight, as I made my way out of the school, someone had tucked the bear in...
かわいい 熊!
(Kawaii Kuma! Cute Bear!)
おやすみなさい!
(Oyasumi Nasai! Good Night!)
