Identity crises

Yes we did something cultural last week. Took the kids to the art museum where they had arranged a few workshops. Mia and Alex came along as well. We sent the kids for a "rainbow" painting workshop - unfortunately it was such a wet affair that all their artwork nearly disintegrated. Just managed to save some of Beatrice's pictures. The kids were keen on a music workshop but the organization for that one didn't quite work out.
On Thursday Beatrice had a new friend over here for a playdate after school - a very sweet Australian boy James, who likes to play with girls. When he was picked up his mum said she had asked James where Beatrice is from and it turned out Beatrice had told James she was from Korea! His mum was surprized to discover that Beatrice didn't look very Korean at all. But that's what you would call identity crises. I guess we have to try to find out where she is really from.
On Sunday we took Beatrice along to see Mamma Mia in the cinema (it seems all films get here much later than Europe). She loves Abba and deserved a treat after working hard on her sums. We enjoyed it a lot. Will have to make it up for the boys one day.
Today we had a class coffee morning in the British Club. The first time I had been there and I had predicted it right - yes there are flowery carpets all over the place! Was nice though as many mums turned up and it is quite a colourful international bunch. I had to take the boys along as it was early before their school time. They munched away on the croissants and had a little play in the playroom. Then off to school.
