November 5th (Friday) Celebrating St. Martin's Day




Today Josiah came home and said he got his first grade. An A-!!! It's so cool that he's doing great in his class. We have teacher/parent conferences this coming week. It'll be neat to talk with the teacher. However only one of us (Richie) will go. I will stay home with the other kids.

In Germany they have a St. Martins Day. A saint who gave to the poor. We had a St. Martins Day walk in our village tonight. The kids make lanterns and they walk through the neighborhood and sing songs. One of the kids in the town rides on a horse and wears a long robe. All the lanterns were lit and it was so cool. Afterwards there was a bonfire and Gluwine (german mulled wine) and brots. It was a lot of fun. Josiah and Elee had fun getting chased by all the girls. They are outnumbered here in our village.
