Today is Carnival in France (or mardi gras). It is very widely celebrated. It is similar to the USA's Halloween...in the sense that the kids get dressed up and walk around. They even get to wear their costumes in the afternoon to school. They also get to go on a walk around the village with the school and throw confetti everywhere! It is a lot of fun for them...and the big snack of the day are DONUTS!! They get to have donuts, dress up and have a fun school party on this very special day. This year Krista was an Indian Princess and of course Erik was a cowboy--the perfect couple. Kaitlyn was a cute little bunny, although she didn't get to participate in the fun (but I did buy her a french donut (called a beinget) to celebrate. Which she LOVED, by the way. I went to drop the kids off with Kaitlyn in the stroller so I could stay a bit and take photos. I also stayed long enough to walk around a bit with the parade and take some pictures of them on their village walk.
