AMAZING...

Our days are just amazing! You would think we have already done everything you could possibly can but it's getting better and better... unbelievable life :).

We got a hint for a new park in a more wealthy neighborhood they even leave trucks and sandbox items there for everybody to use and boy were our kids happy. The boys were super happy...

A popsicle treat and Henry is complaining that it is too cold! *lol*... but he ate it all (of course)

TUE afternoon we got invited to one of the german teachers who organizes a class we go to every Monday night during the school year. And the kids had an amazing time... they have 4 acres of land and basically a farm (Bauernhof)... everything that a kids heart desires ;) checking or torturing the chickens

looking for libellen

catching little fish

feeding the horse and petting the goat

Henry found a jeep and was happy even though the battery was dead he still pushed the petal to the fullest... was the weirdest sound

horse ride

and then we had snacks and did a craft that both kids hung up in their room that night.

oh and not to forget the 'trabbi-ride'. They had a real East German Trabbi in their yard sitting that is actually registered (but just not this year)... put all the kids in there and drive around in the front yard... you have a bunch of happy toddlers :)

Henry found a barbie airplane... that works for him too :)

Fun Filled SAT

Oh we had a great time :). During Nap time I took Zoe only to this new place that just opened up (or remodeled). It's called 'Abrakadoodle' *lol*... it's a franchise you can buy and start as your own business model and I guess somebody saw a huge potential here and I bet they will have a good amount of business coming in the door. This place was packed!!! It was so packed Zoe was afraid to go in :(. She was clinging to my jeans wanting to go back home but we made our way in there got her some materials to be creative with (for free) and she did play dough and coloring. She is really into arts. Every single minute she sits down and colors, cuts, does something that an artist does :). She was so excited about this place she really wants to go back now and do more at that place. I might sign her up for classes there but then again... she can do all that stuff at home too :). 

After all the creativity that little girl was very hungry and we snacked a hotdog :)

Then we went home and picked up the boys and went to the German Picnic. Another totally fun event.

You can see the 'sandbox' in the background, the kids were in there the majority of the time... we barely got them to eat their hotdog.

Some traditional German Dance (from the South of Germany, not where I come from)

and we couldn't leave before the kids hit the dance floor of course :). They were sooo tired, this morning they slept longer than usual :)

Supposed to be out of town but instead...

... we had tons of fun! I mean you would think if you're planning on going out of town, nothing planned for the rest of the week, seriously NOTHING was in the calendar but instead we were out and about all day long with lots of fun things and friends. It was totally great. And since I worked ahead I didn't have much work to do and really enjoy these days.

WED play date with our friends at a new playground, also not far from here. I tell you... Michigan is THE state to have kids :)

THU we went to the mall. Shortly after arrival my little man asked me: "Momma, do you have crackers?"
Me: "No"
Henry: "Momma, do you have peanuts?"
Me: "No"
Henry: "Momma, do you have manas? (bananas)"
Me: "No"
Henry: "But I'm HUUUUUUNGRY"

"I wanna eat"
Go figure, he's always the first to ask for snacks the minute we arrive somewhere. Poor little guy but I haven't had much in the house so he had to suffer until...

 ... our very delicious lunch at the Cheesecake Factory with our spontaneous friends Adelheid and Sophia who joined us

Our two love birds... Henry shared his pasta with Sophia

 Feeding time ;)

And Sophia cleaned Henry's Mouth! Too cute these two

FR we went and met another friend a little further away. Checked out a new playground right at the beach. We had an amazing time!
We just arrived and the first snacks were already emptied before our friends even arrived! New snack idea... popcorn :)... was very popular :). Here in the USA it's not sweet it's salty!

Beach Time Baby :). Zoe is a water rat... she LOVES the water. Henry is too lazy to get his swim trunks on and always just goes in the water with his clothes... oh well... it's ok with me... sand and water and the kids are in happy land :)

After the beach a little play time again and then we were ready to hit the road again and drive back home for 1.15 hrs. I wore the kids out :). They're still sleeping *Go Me* :)
