So, only a few minutes before Keala was supposed to be rushed off to school in a costume resembling the culture(s) she's from, I frantically call Erika to ask her... where are we from? We have no idea! (Except somewhere in the European countries, like the Ukraine?) So, considering the fact that it doesn't matter since I do not have costumes of our ancestors in all sizes and ages for children and/or adults, I just skip it! I put one of my big white shirts on her, tie two ribbons around her waist and put a fake white flower in her hair and send her off with a note explaining we are from "Austria" and the flower in her hair represents the nation's "eidelweiss" flower. Ha! I am still laughing about it. Who cares! Shes 3 years old and all she remembers is that it was a "dress-up" day and thats good enough for her. So, the question remains... anyone know where the heck we're from?

Half Scotch-Irish on Dad's side. Three-eights Ukrainian, and one-eighth Polish on Mom's side. At first I thought Scotch-Irish was just a blend of Scottish and Irish, but it turns out that Scottish and English Protestant settlers migrated to the northern coast of Ireland in an attempt to breed the Irish-Catholics out of existence. Charming, no?
Look at you go, Adam!
Maybe you should've just chose heaven and dressed her up like and angel? Just thought I'd throw that one out there!
I am laughing out loud! I like the angel idea! Hello! We ARE from heaven. And Adam, stop reading Encyclopedias already!
