Im feeling rather tired this morning and a little hung over. What a wonderful night we had last night with 2 sets of parents from the school.
Its funny sometimes when invited out by some people we are expected or asked to get a babysitter however when its our Spanish Friends it wouldnt even cross our minds or theirs - kids are part of it and expected to be there.
We got there at 8, I thought we would eat around 9.30 - 10 and then get kids home for about 12ish. But no, this was proper "Spanish Fashion". We had somethings to pick at around 9.30 to 10pm and then we finally sat down to eat around 11.30pm. It was perfect as it was lovely and cool. I can completely understand why people eat and go out so late. I was worried about over eating to begin with incase what I was eating was just the starter and main course was on its way....but luckily enough this was the main course. I have never eaten so late before, but because we picked at so much leading up to it - we didnt stuff ourselves like we normally would.
The kids played and ran around the garden, there were a few arguments as the kids dont normally play together in school. But I think this is great to get kids to mix a little just like us adults. It also helps that although not fluent I do speak Spanish and therefore its easier. If we didnt speak a word of Spanish then we wouldnt have been invited cause it would just be too difficult to communicate - then we would be missing out on such great evenings with such lovely people.
We left around 2ish this morning and our little girl fell asleep in the car and slept all the way through till 1030 this morning - not enough sleep for her but she did grab a little siesta yesterday and will have one today....but its summer and this is whats summers about.
Looking forward to round 2 on Wednesday.
