My busy day

I think this is my 100th post. Wow, I am chatty. :P

Today was very busy, I probably drove over a hundred miles today.

First we went back to our old neighborhood and visited some friends we hadn't seen since we moved. They homeschool too. We met them when we both hosted foreign exchange student, two girls from Belgium that happened to be best friends.

The middle daughter, C, is nine now and out of all Z's friends they have the most interests in common. Z and C really bonded last summer when the 6th Harry Potter book came out and our two families and our students went to Barnes and Nobles for their party and waited till midnight to stand in line and get our copies of the book.

C likes Harry Potter, the musical Wicked (the girls used to put on Wicked shows for us all last summer), X-Men and Pirates of the Caribbean. In fact C was dressed kinda funny today with a scarf on her head and an odd number of braids in her hair, I realized later she was actually dressed as Jack Sparrow. Don't you love that?

To bad they live so far away.

Then Z had a "test" in Japanese today. She actually asked her teacher to test her. :) She also sang the two songs she memorized - super cute Japanese kid songs.

Then we raced home and drove out another twenty miles to our friends house for dinner. Their sons are gifted too and Z really gets along with the boy J who is 6. They played some game where they were "saving the world" for several hours while we got to have good grown up conversation. *sweeeet*

Then we raced home to actually pack for our camping trip tomorrow. I will try to take lots of pictures. I won't be back till Monday.
