Egyptian Celebration

What to do on a Friday in Windsor, Colorado?? I got up and took Sarah to school....there was a suspicious light on the dashboard....hmmmmmm ~ low tire pressure. When I returned, I checked the tires and put air in all of them (just to be on the safe side) the light went off ~ hooray!! After showers and such we were off to open gym for Claire.

The girl knows how to pose

(even if I don't know how to snap a photo in focus)

She likes the parallel bars.
(check the tension in the toes)
Jennifer joined her in one of the pits Just hangin' aroundThey "thought" they could hide!!!!
Whew! after all that activity
a nap was in order!

Then we were off to the Egyptian Celebration at Sarah's school !! They learned about Pharaohs, mummies, scarabs, etc. All of the children were wearing togas (bed sheets held together by safety pins) and were adorned with jewels they worked on in class.

Pharaoh Sarah in all her glory!! The whole class (that's me on the far right) Jennifer and I took turns with the
palm frond used to cool the royalty
(we were mere slaves) The children made flails played Egyptian tug of war and wrapped cat mummies

There was also a food station where they could dine on gold plates and drink out of gold cups while enjoying grapes, dates, bread, and beef while being fanned by the afore pictured slaves. Also at the food station was a "make-up artist"?.... you be the judge

One of the "servants" applied eyeliner to the Pharaohs and.... what do you call girl Pharaohs?? I'm hoping Cleopatra's makeup did not run like Claire's!

P.S. The next day my warning light came on again so Arie checked it and Jennifer and I went to the tire shop and had it fixed....there was a piece of metal in it.... they didn't charge me anything!!!! Arie and Buck thought it would be around $15.00 Maybe they felt sorry for me or maybe it was Jennifer's Southern Belle charm??
