Around the house

We've been cleaning the house and getting some things organized.  The apartment is making progress and while Karola was away for a day in Berlin, we even made a lemon cake for fun:

  

And it's been nice to have a lot of time with the kids over the long weekend (Thursday & Friday were the last Ferientage of the summer). But everyone's ready for school to start again on Monday!

Here's a video finally:

Birthday #7

Some pictures from Sammy's Birthday and the Saturday kids party.

There were several games

We had several games, such as blindfolded pot hunting. As you can maybe tell, it got VERY loud. (!) There was also a very successful riddle-based treasure hunt that ended in the new Häuschen outside.

 

Okay! We finally finished the three-party weekend and we're ready for some S&K (Schule und Kindergarten). Hopefully we'll have some video up soon. Bye for now

Worüber Emma so nachdenkt

Letztens schimpfte ich in seiner Abwesenheit ein bisschen auf Peter, da ich zuhause nach etwas suchen sollte, das er verloren hatte.
Daraufhin sagte Emma:
"Mama, der Papa ist halt dein Mann, der kann doch gar nichts dafür [dass er den dongle usb stick verloren hat, Anm. der Redaktion], obwohl der dein Mann ist.
Mama, du kannst jetzt gar keinen anderen Mann finden, sonst wird der Papa sehr aufgeregt und weint sehr laut, bis du wiederkommst."
