Experiencing the real "Full House"

We have had so much going on in this 338 year old house that I can hardly tell who is living here or who is just passing through anymore!
Wednesday night, Laura and Louise, sisters from Ireland, came and stayed with us.  They are part of EYBS (European Young Breeders School) and while they have a dairy farm of their own, they travel around Europe showing cows from all over. They stayed with us in Pauline's room from Wednesday- Saturday night; and thus, Pauline and I shared my bed which was slightly terrifying because it is a twin size bunk-bed, 5.5 feet off the ground, and slightly wobbly... But we managed!
Thursday school was a half day again, and just the level 6 (me) and the level 3 (the youngest at school) went. We are the oldest in the school and so we gave tours and words of advice to the little ones; I thought it was a little ironic that I was there to be giving advice! When I got home it was SUNNY, so I went on a long run and then afterwards I got to drive the tractor!!! Good thing I know how to drive a manual transmission or else that would've been embarrassing!
Friday was the first full day of school. I am in the normal level 6 French class which is really tough!! My brain was definitely exhausted after thinking so hard for the whole day! Since Wednesday we've been tearing out our old kitchen and building a modern one-- there have been so many electricians, plumbers, and carpenters... all related to Benoit (who we call le roi de Belgique or the king of Belgium) somehow!
Saturday was gorgeous again! It was the first day of swimming club! I wasn't in the same group as Pauline and thus I was with all boys, so I had to swim fast to keep up! It was tough but I liked it : ) Nicole cut my hair in the afternoon-- now I have bangs like all the other girls! That evening we went to where the state fair would be held and sampled food from all the countries that were involved in the cow show! It was delicious!
Sunday was the long anticipated State Fair! Louise and Laura both took first in their classes! There were tons of cows, horses, pigs, chickens-- so much to do, we were there from 11-7! Just like our state fairs-- minus SO much fried food : ) We are finally moved back into our new kitchen and it's just lovely!
Today, Monday, school started up again, and I am starting to get the hang of it. I feel like I am understanding the fast paced talking more and more. The sun shone all day which I loved! I just got back from a run and tonight we are going to a gym to lift weights with my friend from school, Celine! I hopefully will manage to get a little sleep as well! I am very happy and trying to live every moment to the fullest!
