Mayday = No school!

Can you believe it is already May 1? This year has flown by! May 1 is a public holiday here in Austria. I was reading about the origin of Mayday and it is very interesting to see how it started as a pagan holiday, and has evolved into a "labor day." Today, Mayday is an international working class holiday. We are just thankful to have the day off from school!

We got to sleep in this morning (until like 8) and then we made mock cinnamon rolls for breakfast (yum!). We were also able to get a few things done around the house, which is always nice! Matt then left, riding his bike to school, to help cook ribs for our soccer and basketball party. Since a lot of the same boys made up the soccer team and the basketball team, we decided to combine parties. It worked out really well, and turned out to be a fun afternoon!

Around 5, we finally left school and rode our bikes home! It was really nice outside, so it made getting some exercise easy! Once we got home we decided to just relax (we were thinking of putting away all winter clothes and getting out summer ones). All in all, a nice day off!
