Like every other United Nations Meeting...

Except with a potluck.

So Friday we had an assembly to celebrate the United Nations International Day of Peace, which was on September 21st.  Before school started for the year, they had asked me to teach the kids a song to sing at it.  I was all, "Yeah, sure, I got this!" thinking that it's a small school, how big could it be?

It was pretty big.

This was before it started...  All the kids in the school came out and had to split up into countries.  Minor chaos reigned for a good 15 minutes.  I was actually impressed it was that quick! :o)

Oh, Canada...

This pumpkin stole my hat. I had to give her "The Eye."

I don't think she cared much. :)

Japan got the award for the cutest marshmallow.  

I mean, "younger brother."

She loves that my Grandma was born Catherine Murphy because her name is Murphy Katherine.

I love her commitment to representing her country. :o)

The reason I bring this all up is because after the assembly, we had the best potluck I ever had.  

Ever.

I'm guessing a good 40 tables were set up with delicious, delicious goodies.  

This portion of the afternoon also turned into a bit of a mad house, but only because everyone wanted to try everything.  You can't blame them/us/me!

Among other tables not pictured: The France table with the crepes.  I was too busy eating them all!

Why, yes. Yes, you do see Ikea catalogs on the Sweden table.

This day really reinforced my desire in world peace!
(Maybe there is something to that whole "food reinforcement" after all...)

*burp*
