Jungle Gym, Kids Clinic at Lowe's and Hobby Show

Busy days you see :)... FR we've gone to The Jungle Gym, meet some friends and have some fun

SAT morning we went to Lowe's (ein Baumarkt), they have a 'kids clinic' where they provide a kit for free and the kids can then build this thing together. It was awesome and the kids really enjoyed this. Time to check out when the next one is :)

We build a claw machine. They actually had little paper items that they could try to get... fun

After that we went to the Hobby Show. Lots of trains and fun stuff for the kids. Every single thing we were standing at watching Henry would NOT wanna leave and see the next one because the current one was so cool.

My little boy! He IS a boy I guess ;)

Lego... this one Zoe didn't wanna leave!

She found this little Lego money she was trying to take with her... she and her little golden shiny things ;)... they're everywhere :)

There were 6 train tables setup and Henry literally was playing there for probably at least an hour. Luckily I ran into Silke so we were chatting away while Henry played and Zoe and Janos were playing around running / catching and did their own thing.

He was the most upset when he had to leave the train tables but he also really liked to ride in 'Thomas the Train' afterwards...

and what a treat before we left!!! Ice Cream!!! Frank and I had a date night afterwards. We enjoyed a great night out with our neighbors Dennis and Judy. Great company and Zoe was really trying hard to sneak in some quality time with our new baby sitter Christian who she really loves. Zoe asks daily for her to come and she didn't like that she would come when they have to go to bed. So glad I found the right match. Zoe now even tells me that I can go... It's funny

Today we had the Germans over... we ended up being about 7 Ladies and one husband tagged along. ALL German. It was so cool. I baked three cakes however everybody brought something too and we ended up having way too much!!! But it was a lot of fun.

Play Dates and so much fun

Yesterday we had our typical lunch play date with a couple of moms while the host makes lunch and guests bring a side dish. It was super great again... we've met so many great people here.

Today we met at Xtreme Bounce again for 'Toddler Takeover' and it truly was a toddler takeover... holy moly *lol*... some preschools were off this week and you could tell but it wasn't bad at all since if they're all under 5 there is no big scene or fights or so... they get along very well and Zoe and Henry had such a great time:

Kimberly and her two boys. Adelheid and I were offering to help anywhere we could but she's handling her three kids so well by herself. Cutiepies...

I actually took the kids to the dentist before bounce and we had a great success! Both kids let the hygienist and the dentist check their teeth. At least we got the 'check' part somewhat figured out now... if they would let them 'clean' the teeth as well we're good to go. I figured if Henry shows Zoe how it's been done (since he was more into it when I took them to my checkup) it'll be easier and Zoe would let them check easy as well (It was Henry's first time and Zoe's third time). Now today Henry was the big whiner but we made it work and they're both cavity free of course :). Hope next time will be even easier...
