Dressing Room



I was trying on clothes and she wanted to try them on, too. Her is IC struggling with a dress hundred times too big for her.


I was surprised to discover that IC was wearing the wrong pair of socks yesterday.

We were already enjoying our day in the city when I found out.

I asked her: 'Did you know that you are wearing the wrong pair of socks?'
IC: 'No, they are not wrong. They have the same color.'

Admittedly, they are both pink. The other one is darker, though.

Skateboards



The kids got their skateboards yesterday despite my misgivings. Papa just cant resist buying one for each. And I cant resist displaying my little knowledge -- balancing acts. That's easy! And running right smack into the wall, haha-

Smiley Sunny



Because they wanted to stay in the garden and play, I discovered the kids furiously drawing smiling sunny faces to wave away the drizzle. Sweet, right?

Banana Tree


And now presenting, our banana tree in the garden. Who would have thought we'd have one in Germany? Not me. It would be fun to wait for the banana harvest :-)

More Dots


Just look at her. This is easy to do: you need a glue and some paper cut outs in dots. First stick the dots on the glue bottle and paste them on your face. 'Mama, dont you think I look like Pippi Lam? Aaargh. And we are supposed to be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary with a dinner that night. I freed her face from the dots, but the glue is still visible on her face until now!

The Kids on Kid's Day








Collecting, collecting, collecting. Accepting, accepting, accepting. Extending hands, cupping hands, smiling and saying thank you's -- the kids' highlight of the day; more sweets for my two sweets!

Oh not to forget the carousel rides and the bump cars!
