Watching Charlie brown

Hubs and I had a “date” today so we went “shopping” at Watsons pharmacy and Walmart.

Neither store is quite like you think, but we found a few nice things like Andes Mints and Toblerone chocolates for Schäfer’s teachers. We found some bathtub toys and a squeaky ball for Selah at Walmart.

These are not the gifts

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is my Dad’s birthday and I wanted to call, but it’s still yesterday in America so I’ll wait until tomorrow.

(If you couldn’t follow that sentence, don’t worry. It makes perfect sense to me.)

I woke up this morning still in my Christmas funk.

I have no clue why because there is NOTHING on the

The day began with a little Christmas party from 9 – 12am. You gotta grab people when they’re available.

When Schäfer came home from preschool, all he wanted to do was read Curious George. I’m seriously considering recording my own audio book so he can listen to the stories over and over again. Mommy’s getting a

Today, Schäfer asked, “Does Buzz Lightyear’s space ship dock at the Kennedy Space Center?”

I love this age.

Schäfer and Sianna both are obsessed with these “watches” that Hubs makes for them. They drive me crazy because Schäfer doesn’t want his 3 layers of shirts + polar tec + down coat to cover it up. The preschool

On Sunday morning, we read the Christmas story. The kids then retold the story with stickers.

After snack time, I gave Schäfer a coloring book to entertain him while we had a meeting. I wasn’t sure if he would be interested in it since he doesn’t like to color, but he worked all of the

This morning, Hubs and I woke the kids by singing “rise and shine”. They were both sounds asleep.  At first, Schäfer rose his hands and started clapping along. Then he popped up and was pure sunshine. He was smiling and clapping. Then he asked us to carry him.

Meanwhile, Sianna never moved. When she finally turned
