Nuit en trop.

... or "leftovers night" in America! As much as we would love to dive into another French creation, the amount of food in our refrigerator caused us to pause and enjoy the labor of love shared earlier in the week. So, we noshed on Beef Bourguignon and Quiche... and ramen noodles for Elie!

Tonight Katy focused on Girl Scout cookies which we picked up earlier in the night. She was tasked to organize 80 boxes of cookies and she did it perfectly! She was off delivering what she could in the neighborhood and snuck into the dining room to check out her own stash shortly thereafter. (I better go check out the damage)...

Hannah was off to tee-pee the boys swim team who will be participating in the State meet this weekend while Elie went on and on about her great experience seeing Michelle Obama speak today at Wells Fargo Arena. I've never heard her speak so long in one night. What a great experience she had today, along with all the kids in Des Moines. A memory that will last forever. Too cool.

We begin to unwind from this country, just a few more days. I asked Hannah what country she was thinking about choosing and she replied, "I want crepes". "What country do they come from?"Uhhh.. France? She nearly screamed. I guess Crepes will be something we attempt to make this weekend! 

Did you know that there is a USA Girl Scouts Overseas Paris? I wonder if they sell the same cookies as the USA?
