There's nothing to cheer you up like 10 pre-schoolers shouting your garbled name and something about spiders across a parking lot.... especially when not one of them actually got your name right - including your own kids!


What happened is that a few days ago the twins were having a hard time being dropped off at school, so in an effort to cheer them up I sang and acted out "Itsy Bitsy Spider" to their entire class, which they all thought was WAAAAY cool (wish it was as easy to impress grown-ups).   So apparently today they all decided that that was kind of fun, and they wanted to do it again. 
Man, I wish I had a pic of all their bright faces - what a great pickup in the morning! 

And then on my way to the office, I went by the Post Office PO Box, which is ridiculous, because mail service on Anguilla SUCKS and there is NEVER anything in there, even the three packages we've been waiting for for almost two months now!

Except for today!
There were three letters (WHOA) and TWO packages (OH MY) in there! 
And one of the packages was even for me!
A terribly cool "Alprausch" Swiss shirt from my super duper Swiss-German friend Ralph.




Thank you, little kids, spiders and Ralph!
