We started our weekend with market day on Friday, and I'm pretty sure I've mentioned the Korean strawberries and how absolutely delicious they are, well, I stopped on the way home and picked some up. Here's what y'all are missin':
It was such a beautiful day that I couldn't argue with the kids when they asked to go outside to play for a while. Tristan finally got to test his new two wheeled scooter that he got for Christmas!
Tristan ended the day with a little "Risky Business"
Saturday we had a swim meet in Daegu. This is another large city in Korea about 3 hours from where we are stationed. Thankfully, the team was able to ride on the bus again. I don't know that I would've gone if I had to drive 3-4 hours each direction (the bus normally gets it's own lane and gets to bypass the mass of cars on the road so it is able to travel a lot faster), and I don't know that I would've been brave enough to venture down on the train by myself either. Grace did great, showing me and my nerves up again. She improved her 25 freestyle time by almost 4 seconds, and completed each of her other races. This meet they had the kids swimming 50's (2 laps of the pool), and though I was nervous for her (again), she proved that I just need to relax and she will get the job done.
I was wise enough to bring toys this time.
50 backstroke - after she remembered she had another lap to swim.
This was her 50 freestyle when she decided that she was done. With a little encouragement and about a 5-10 second breather, she was ready to finish the race.
There were lots of siblings there and it was a pretty nice day, so a bunch of them were out running around on the deck. Proved to be a great time for Tristan - he got to run around as much as he wanted without Mom saying a word.
Sunday I had a cake to finish, so we spent the day at home. My kids are so awesome (have I mentioned that yet??)! It's as if they know to not bother Mommy when she's decorating cakes. They spent the majority of the day entertaining themselves, and got along really well! Did a fabulous job showing many attributes of the Fruit of the Spirit - and for once I remembered to tell them so. Another make Mommy proud kind of day!
A lady from my PWOC Bible study had a daughter who was turning 16, and she "heard" that I did cakes.
Turned out pretty cute, I think.
This was our just for fun, because I had leftover cake batter, cake.
I'm enjoying getting to experiment with my "new" cake pans.
I hope all of you had a wonderful weekend too!

I think that cake is more than "pretty cute." It's amazing! I didn't know you had that talent... how wonderful!
