Another week has passed SO quickly!! This week was sports themed week and we all had a great time with it. Our clubs were fun this week! We had jump rope club, recreation from other nations (sports games from other countries), nutrition club, and arts and crafts club. I had cooking club this week and we made some delicious snacks! The kids really seemed to enjoy it and I loved talked about food with the kids.
Kids enjoying Nutrition Club
This week was absolutely blazing hot. They do a flag color system to tell about the weather - yellow flag is about 85 - 88 degrees, red is 88 - 89.9, and then 90 and up is black flag. With a black flag we have to quit all strenuous activity because it is so incredible hot. It was pretty much a red flag all week; thank goodness for lots of pool time in the afternoon! However Friday was a black flag day (by 11:00) - it was hot and exhausting. Luckily we still went to the pool and we just worked to keep the kids busy, but still doing low active activities. During this hot weather the past few weeks I did not fully realize I could sweat while standing still doing nothing, but I do.
For our field trip this week we went to the movie (by far my favorite part of camp :) We watch Shrek 4 and it was such a great movie!! My kids do great during this time! They all get popcorn and a sprite, as well as a bathroom break before the movie starts, and they do great! Watching the 2 movies we have seen has really put me in a movie kick! I really wish I could just relax and watch a movie these days. I may have to get one to watch on my computer during the evenings.

Extreme tiredness has started to settle in. I am up late playing on my computer, or trying to plan our next weekend trip, and outside going 100 miles a minute all day it could be catching up to me. This week I also had a number of things to take care of for camp, we do family dinners and it was my groups turn to cook (then the commissary was closed because of strikes), my roommate and I were in charge of programming for week 5 of camp, and we are doing a team building activity during our family dinners so I have another group/team that I am working with for this. So extremely busy and lacking sleep. I better get some rest otherwise these last 5 weeks may do me in! Well overall another great week! Still loving Italy, but I thought a lot about my family this week because it was Addelynn's 1st birthday on the 16th! Happy Birthday Addelynn! Such a big girl :)

I wish I could post more pictures of me with my kids at camp, however I do not feel comfortable posting their pictures on the internet, just for their privacy. So I will make sure to share LOTS of pictures of them when I get home :)
Ciao!!
