Farsang Party

VJ's school had a Farsang Party on Friday. What's Farsang you say? Well, I only know the bare basics but essentially it's a Hungarian Celebration that takes place just before Lent to "scare away Winter." Think Hungarian Mardi Gras. In effect the kids dress up like it's like Halloween but without the candy.

The school did a pretty good job of making the party fun. The kids had Farsang Books and we had to go around the school and find various teachers (dressed as a Clown, Cow, Pig, etc.) and get them to stamp their book. There was also games to play and they got stamps in the books for playing. Best of all, at least from VJ's perspective, was that they had Donuts!

Having fun on the Conga Line!

Carlos and VJ take a Donut break.

The Rabbit was hiding in the business office but we finally found her and got her stamp!

VJ had fun doing the mini-obstacle course.


To top VJ's day off, Carlos's mom picked him up after school and he went to their house to play and have dinner. The best part: they have an indoor swimming pool! He wasn't really excited to see me when I picked him up at 7:00pm.

You can see all the pictures on our Kodak Gallery Homepage.

Yeah, we just had Groundhog day this week. It wasn't nearly as exciting. No costumes or obstacle courses. Although we do have "Super Tuesday" coming up and there are some really frightening characters there.
