Copa/Festa de Junina

Well it is finally here!!! The world cup is almost here!!! Everything is crazy here!!! Cars have flags on their cars, and all the stores are full of decorations!!! It makes everything even more exciting!!! At my school we had a world cup day where we all dressed up with Brazil stuff, and it was sooo much fun!! We made a ton of noise too, like we had horns, and whistles; we were blowing them the entire time during the break. I thought the teachers were going to kill us kkkkkk. I am soo excited for Thursday to watch the first game! But, there is a slight problem with the world cup. There are tons of greves (don't remember name in english) and all the subways are closed! Not a single one has been working since Thursday, and today is Sunday! I can't leave the house, and if you do there is a ton of traffic!! It's crazy here right now!

Yesterday was Festa de Junina!!! It is this party that Brazilians celebrate. It has something to do with the country side of Brazil. It was sooo cute! All of the little kids had dresses on with little freckles on, and the boys had overalls, and mustaches! It was the cutest thing!! I want to bring my kids to it, so I can dress them up! Usually they have a ton of different food for this party, but since the world cup is almost here most schools just did parties for the world cup, and little things for Festa De Junina, so I didn't try much typical food for this holiday, but whatever I still had an amazing time!

Today I made Mac n Cheese for my friends family...... They loved it sooo much!!!! Seriously I thought Brazilians would hate Mac n Cheese but every person I have given it to has loved it!!! Then we made brigadeiros!!! Hmmmmmm my two favorite things in one day!!! Was a perfect day hahaha.

Also, my host mom's sister is visiting from Florida, and she has kids. I was so confused I had no idea what language to speak. With the older kids we talked in Portuguese, but the little boy kept changing from English, and Portuguese when he talked so I was so confused hahaha. I ended up just talking in English with him. But, he was adorable!!! hahaha
