FS Weekly Round up

The theme offered up for this week was 'Manners' but there was only 1 taker, so thanks to Nomads by Nature who wrote about minding your P's and Q's. Some excellent suggestions on being supportive of your fellow fs family.

So, now what? I thought I would poke around and see what people are up to worldwide.

Kate at Pulling Stakes sat through my personal version of hell - a 4 hour poetry cafe at her children's elementary school.

Moppyseed Puffin just found out they are going to Columbo. I remember flag day - so exciting!

Stephanie at WhereIntheWorld went basketshopping - or at least posed with some awesome looking baskets in India.

Over at What Were We Thinking they were on a Lincoln kick. I love their family photo btw - it seems to scream Tijuana to me.

Heather at The Wandering Drays just got the world's cutest little puppy. Not a labrador, but still cute.

The employee at The B Files scored very well on her Spanish test. Congrats!

At Fabling after a trip to Shape they seem to be well on their way to settling into their new home in Belgium. I used to love going to Shape as a kid - I wonder if they still call it Shape?

And Corinna at Knettles Travel is at the other end, just packing up to head to Dhaka. Is it me or are there a lot of bloggers in Dhaka?

I think that is about it for my round up. I checked in with some long time bloggers and some that were new to me.

Round up and school's out!

School is finally out! Yahoo! I hope to sleep in tomorrow - at least till, say, 7:30! The crazy get up my youngest is wearing is the end result of the school fair. Fun times.

I am hosting the Weekly FS Round-Up this week. I think for the first time ever. I suggested manners as a topic, but am open to anything. Feel free to send me links to your blog. I may start looking at new to me fs blogs and include them too. New blogs can be fun.

Now to get through one more after school is over picnic tomorrow, Embassy mail pick up and then swimming lessons Friday morning....

Summer planning

These mittens are my new project...once the final last baby blanket is done this weekend. Perfect timing since it is finally hot. Really hot. Yesterday I brought all our fans to the children's school as it has no AC and was over 100 with the humidex -whatever that really is... I also brought juice ice pops. I think both kids only walked away with some mild heat exhaustion. A good day?
