This is about how his exams went:
Just kidding. Most went really well. One went rather badly, but if the teacher is grading on a curve, he'll probably pass, cause everyone did bad on that one.
This past week the boys celebrated Carnaval at school. Carnaval is a catholic holiday, that preceeds the week before Lent. It's kind of culturaly depended how it is celebrated. For instance, Mardi Grass is really the New Orleans version of Carnaval. Here it is mostly a celebration for kids to dress up. The boys choose to be pirates, and they looked adorable. Stoney was captain Snotty Nose and Monty captain Goldy Locks
Yesterday We had Stoney's birthday party. Of course his actual birthday was on December 22nd but that is such a busy time period that we decided to do it a month or so later. We held it at the "quick" which is a French version of McDonald's. The kids had a lot of fun. They did face paint and had fries, cake and played a lot.
Other developments... We have finally done it: cut Monty's hair. It hurts me to no longer see the golden curls on his head, but it was just getting out of control. Mostly because he wouldn't let us comb his hair, it was one big rat's nest all the time. So i cut it, and though it is uneven (he wouldn't hold his head still and screamed bloody murder) it's alright. I didn't cut it super short (other then the bangs, because, well... he jerked and that was the end of the bangs.) It is still is a little long in the back. Leland says that it looks puffy in the back and he still looks like a girl... Maybe, but i just don't want to cut his hair that short. Wish i had puffy hair like that... Anyway, below a picture with his new hair cut.
