And guess what!
Mine are filled with chocolate!!!
Yesterday I got to sleep in, then I went into the village to walk around. I knew that somewhere in the village were a few stores, and I knew the general direction. But that's about it. So I set off. After much guessing I found a sort of small CVS, three backeries, a butcher, a gas station, a stationary store, a few gift shops and a salon. I also found out that I can navigate a village that has not one straight road. :)
After I got back I worked on a present I'm making for Paula, I will also make one later for Carola, when the present is finished it will be a princess doll that hopefully will resemble it's owner. Paula came home from kindergarten and we played outside, chalk, bubbles, and in the sand box until Carola came home, then it was bubble time! They sure do enjoy their bubbles.
I kinda struggle getting the girls, especially Paula to speak English with me. Though I know a lot of German, I'm waiting for it to snap back into place, and little kid German is harder to understand.
Last night I got to meet Alex, the dad, for the first time. He's really nice. Poor guy. He's been on a trip for work since I got here and he came home exhausted then had to turn around and go back to his apartment in the Black Forest where he works. Yikes. He came in said hello to everyone, went downstairs, then dragged himself back up the stairs to wish me welcome to Germany. :) He was really tired. We're planning a BBQ for when he comes back home this weekend. Yay!
Ooo fun quirk. Paula has to sleep with socks on. Last night we forgot to put them on her. She woke up at 4:35am and let her displeasure about her absense of socks be known. Whoops.
