Cream Puff Day and Wife's Day

     On Monday it was Cream Puff Day! Spencer, Joslyn, and I woke up at 6:45 in the morning to hit our parents with our wands (sticks). They didn't immediately jump out of bed so we couldn't hit them any more, but rather sat in bed while us kids joined them. For breakfast, everyone had cream puffs, except Joslyn because she had thrown up earlier in the night due to bad cream puffs. Sunday, my family and I went to a cream puff party and there they served cream puffs with (we think) brandy in the cream. Joslyn's stomach didn't like that. Anyway, at school, delicious cream puffs were served at lunch. After school, Joslyn and I got home and found that there were two packages from all of my grandparents. Before we could open it, though, Joslyn, my dad, and I had to go get Spencer. At the preshool/ kindergarten, my dad has been teaching English to the two to five year old kids. One of the two year olds went up to my dad and said 'happy' in English. She was so cute!  Once we got back, we received Valentines cards and nine pounds of candy! We are planning on giving it out on Halloween on Wednesday.
     Sunday was Wife's Day. On Sunday, like I said, my family and I went to a cream puffs party. At the party, there was a very friendly Sphinx cat named Birta. She was very cute, SO lovable, and felt like a peach. Birta is actually famous! Her owner wrote a book about her and how it is okay to be different, and she even made the front cover of the cat magazine in Iceland! When we arrived, Birta was wearing a beautiful, green necklace that was like a boa. In the middle of the party, Joslyn and I asked if we could have her change collars. Then, we told everyone that she was such a diva! Her owner was SO nice and very talkative.
     At the party, all the guests did this religious thing where we wrote down our sins and then burned them in a metal bowl. With the ashes, we drew a cross on our foreheads. Before we did that, though, we sang songs about robbers and other things in Icelandic. Sometimes it was a fast moving song, so I just kind of mumbled along most of the time.

Bless,
