Athena's school, instead of celebrating Halloween, had an "International Day." Each child was suppose to arrive at school dressed representing their culture or heritage.
At first we were a little baffled, how do you dress Canadian? Can Californian be considered a heritage? We considered reprising Grandma L's "Irish" stew, but then settled on Greek. We had a Greek shirt already and everyone thinks Athena is Greek anyway...
Here she is proudly celebrating her Greek "heritage" with a flag she made herself in the Children's Parade of Nationalities, right next to a pretty cute Viking:
The whole day was absolutely adorable. Each class sang a song. When Athena's turn came up she froze a bit and just stood there as if she didn't know the words. But it was cute anyway.
It was a total paparazzi event, every parent, grandparent and Aunt Mimi was sporting a camera and muscling each other out for the best shot. After the performance and parade, parents, grandparents and Aunt Mimi's were welcomed with a buffet of international foods.
And Zoe got to play like a big kid.
