Kids are Funny Part 2

My day today:

- A 4 year old kid pulled a fat, disgusting, partially dead worm out of his pocket. I told the teacher, the kid threw it out the window. The kid proceeded to eat his sandwich without washing his hands. The teacher didn't think twice.

- A 2nd grader peed her pants in her chair. I walked into the room to find a mop trail from her desk to the hall of the classroom. The girl came back into the class 20 minutes later, smiling like nothing happened. Kids are resilient.

What a funny, interesting, disturbing day.

Barcelona Trip

My friends Michelle and Jessica are here visiting Eric and I in Spain for about 10 days! We feel so lucky to have friends come visit us and share and add to our amazing experience.

Eric and I flew to Barcelona on Friday morning to meet them for a long weekend of exploring Barcelona. Michelle also ran the Barcelona marathon (this is her 7th marathon and she got a personal record!). Here are some pictures from our trip:
