Fight Tigers, Fight Tigers
Fight, Fight, Fight
We must have looked a sight walking around in our Clemson get-up! Hmmm, I wonder if we stood out. But Tiger love runs deep on Team Kirkland, and we cheer no matter how far away we are!!!
This picture is taken at the bookstore, where Lucia goes for story time. Today, she took her beginner readers and practiced her reading with Alejandra.
We went to a craft show at the mall. For a treat, we got strawberries and marshmallows dipped in a chocolate fountain, with sprinkles. Mmmm. Mmmm.
Game time!!! Since Silas was napping, we set up our Clemson spot out in the hall. We (well, Brian really) listened to the game over the internet. Lucia ran around pretending to run as fast as C.J. Spiller (notice #28 on her jersey). We are snacking on some stuff we got at the craft fair. Not sure exactly what it is, but it is tasty and Mango-ey. 
Meanwhile, our Norwegian (the 2 here) and Colombian friends were donning the Colombia soccer team jerseys for the big game b/t Colombia and Ecuador. Colombia won! And they are celebrating! It was a big soccer day in Colombia. We are planning on getting jerseys for Silas and Lucia to help celebrate this Colombian spirit.
Jersey time!
Earlier in the day, Lucia and I made a craft doll out of a coke bottle, sock, diaper, glitter, and yarn.
This morning we were introduced to Colombian "chocolate con queso"-- yes, that is hot chocolate with cheese. It is a different sort of hot chocolate (made with a bar of chocolate) and is very tasty. And then you add cheese.

Even the orange and purple can't change how cute Lucia and Silas are - They look great no matter what! And you'll have to bring home the recipe for the chocolate con queso. Sounds yummy!
