I don’t have much time because I have to get back to staring at the sea monkey tank Wednesday got for Christmas.

Really! I have been deprived of them my whole life, and we were sure to follow the instructions to the letter. It’s abnormally exciting for me.

Before I go wanted to mention what a great time the kids, their Dad and I had at the PTA International Night.

They had a super cute “parade of nations” where children carried the flags of 16 nations represented at the school, followed by a traditional Chinese ribbon dance.

I love the diversity at Wednesday’s school and it was great to see it celebrated this way.

Because it is so diverse the food tables looked incredible! Unfortunately, I’m not a big fan of waiting in line for food that has been picked over by 100 6 to 10 years olds, in the middle of flu season.

Instead we were able to visit the information tables that each grade had worked so hard on.

Of course, the second grade table, representing China, was the best, with a calligrapher and some of my own little angel’s artwork.

But no Capital of the South, elementary school international night, would be complete without a teacher, wearing a giant, foam “taco bell” taco on her head, to represent Mexico.

Really.
