Loose Tooth

Eyan was eating a carrot and someone bummped him. His tooth became loose and now he and Martin are deciding how to extract it. At this point they have mentioned string, Mentos, and Diet Coke. How this will all work is beyond me, but hey I'm just the mom.... with a camera.

The Scoop....

WOW! It's been a long time. So, here's the scoop......

Martin got a sort of transfer and is now working at Ramstein, and has a new schedule. It is 6 days on and 4 days off. There are 3 different shifts, so there will be a little ajusting. But, there are definitely some great things too. We are hoping to travel more and enjoy 4 day weekends at the end of every work week. He will also be going to Colorado in the coming month to do some training.

Love the fact that I can get cheap flowers every week. Two weeks ago it was 50 Daffodils for 6 Euro and this week it's Tulips. I am in the final stretch of my German classes, only 4 weeks left. I have really enjoyed my time in class and all the interesting people I have met. It will be strange not going anymore, but I'm sure I'll find something to do. I am also staying busy with my local Quilt Guild. Last weekend I went on a retreat and sewed the whole weekend!

Naomi got accepted into the school of her choice. The school system here is quite different when it comes to middle school and high school and you actually have to apply to the school. Naomi had a great recommendation from her teacher. The school has a beautiful campus and is in the next village over.

Eyan had a strange allergic reaction to lotion this week. He had to stay home with me on Friday because he was so itchy. I took him to the Apothecke, which is the equivalent to WalGreens. We got a cream, and got the ok for some Claritin. Seems to have worked great, he's no longer itching and isn't all red. (Sorry, no picture at this time)

Silus is living up his last few months in Kindergarten. His class is taking many different field trips this spring including the Fire Station, Zoo, the City Dump, and the grand finale will be an overnight stay at the school. He is so excited to stay the night at the school and has reminded me over and over that he will need to take LOTS AND LOTS of things.

Toben has made a really good friend at school. They look for eachother each morning, and are pretty much together for the rest of the school day. It's so cute to hear him talk about him and see them playing together.

Close ups

Naomi made me take the other picture off!

It's Saturday. A very cold 21 degrees and SUPER windy. Kids watched TV for the first part of the mornning, Cartoons. I made a late breakfast, eggs, hasgbrowns and Pull-a-parts! Everybody's still in PJs. I did some much needed cleaning. The boys are play Legos. Naomi is trying to clean up her room. And Martin had to go pick up his uniform for the Ball tonight! Between cleaning and cooking I took a few picturs of the kids. Hope you enjoy.

Wheels for Christmas

I love the idea of Bikes, Roller Blades and Skate Boards for Christmas, but this year it was a little bit difficult. We had so much snow. So I endured almost a full week of indoor riding. Boy am I glad that's over! I think it was around January 7 that the snow was shoveled off of the driveway enough for the kids to go out and Skate. And now a few weeks later we have no snow, but it's COLD with a capital C!

Silus is 6

What will it be like to be 6? A little bit better. Why? Because when I eat lunch at school there's a kid who always says "I'm 6 and I'm the master" and now I'm 6 too.

What is your favorite color? Now it's dark blue

What is your favorite food? Toast with cheese

What is something you don't like to eat? I have to think.... POTATOS! Everything with potaos.

What is your favorite animal? I don't know.

What is your favorite thing to do? Play Backogan with Eyan

What will you do when you are a grown up? Play on the Computer.

Where will you live? I don't know

I did try and ask Silus more questions, but the little guy just wasn't into it....
