Chaos of the aniversario

School this week is "anniversary week" which is the rough equivalent of homecoming week but on a little kid crazy scale. As Gabe just put it (talking on Skype by me), "Once you embrace the fact that you have no control over your kids and they are crazy it's great. That's just the way it's going to be." They don't wear their uniforms this week, we had a tournament all day on Monday for basketball with the students, today we had students vs. teachers in basketball and soccer. Blair bet his class thirty minutes of free time or time to stay in from recess with his kids on each game. He gave them a 30 point line on the basketball game but seeing as how we were dominating I think the game was called short and he lost the 30 point line to his kids. I think we won by like 22 or something like that. It was fun to play that. Then we played soccer and I of course was the goalie (they don't allow me to do anything else). I was like a brick wall with four holes in it and we ended up winning 6-4! That means Blair cancels out losing the basketball bet and Nora (director of the school) owes each of us in our apartment (Blair, Tyler, and myself) a cake!:) I think I could get used to this betting on games versus the students thing. It's working out great for me today. Tomorrow is fun day which is yet another code word for "crazy day with no control over anything that happens at school."
Apparently at this "fun day" we are playing an alleged game of "marriage and divorce." This is not a game supported by James Dobson but it does sound fun. Kids can pay for two other people to be "married." When they are married they are taped together on their wrists. In order to be separated they then have to pay to be "divorced" from each other. It should be entertaining (assuming I don't get married).
In the past couple weeks of no activity on here I have enjoyed a great visit from my parents in which we spent 2 days in Antigua, Guatemala and a week here in Copan. I don't think that I have much of a future in being a tour guide, but it was fun. I think we all made it out with the important things accomplished; a wide variety of baleadas eaten, hikes to places we don't know where they are, avoidance of ticks, sitting in the park eating ice-cream, and a wide variety of other important Copan activities.:) This next week I'll be joined by my grandma and cousin Courtney. It should be a blast of a week, but with less testosterone and more shopping than last week with both my parents.:)
