Talked with Elee this morning about his choice of potty words at school. I told if he continues to use those words at school then there will be no t.v. monday through friday. I think he got the point because when I picked him up today, he said he didn't use any bad words. :)
Met with two moms from church this morning at a bakery in Bad Schwalbach. Mopped the kitchen floor. Folded lots of clothes and put them away. Richie brought home Chinese food. It was good! Went to German class. Learned a lot!

September 28, 2010 (Tuesday)
Today was a hectic day. Dropped Josiah off at the bus stop and drove Elee to school early to get Etan to school on time. As luck would have there was a STAU (traffic jam). It was dead traffic for about a half an hour. After Selma dropped Etan off at school, we went and went to the bakery and I got some stuff to go for breakfast. On the way home I stopped at an organic farm where they have cows and bought some Raw Cow milk! It was 1 euro for a litre. Plus .60 cent euro for the glass jar. The cows were eating beautiful GREEN grassy-something.
When I went to pick Elee up, a daughter of one of the mom's said that the van was running 15-20 minutes late. So the mom invited me over for a coffee for a minute. They had some cats so Luna had a lot of fun. The bus ended up being over a half hour late. Apparantly the van broke down. When I came home, Josiah was already home. He was fine and was playing with his toys.
As soon as Richie got home, he took the boys to their soccer practice. We decided to let the boys try it out. Richie sent the coach an email and the coach said it would be fine if they played even if they don't know German that well yet. I think it will be great for them.
When they got home from that, I went to a parents night at Elee's school. It was for the parents of kids going into school next year. The meeting of course was all in German. I got about 25% out of it. I got the gist of what they were talking about. I stayed to ask the head of Elee's school how he's doing and she said he's having problems adjusting but that it will just take time. She said that in January we'll meet and talk about that. I'm glad I asked though, because she said that he's talking about POOP and caca and will scare kids and stuff because of the language barrier. I got home at 10:20. Long day and exhausted.

Richie left this morning for Munchen (Munich). He took the train to meet up some people from work for Oktoberfest. It's about a three hour train ride. I went to pick up my friend Selma and Etan around 4:30. They are staying the night! It's hard to put all the kids to bed by myself in this house. It took about 45 minutes. :) Luna was asking for daddy. Selma and I watched part of The Holiday before going to sleep. She is such a cool, chill person. Glad I have a friend that will come over like that and I can wear my pj's around. Very refreshing.
September 24-26, 2010 (friday-sunday)
Richie took half of the afternoon off on Friday so that we could take Elee to the school to register him for next year. Then Josie came by bus to Bad Schwalbach and she watched the kids while we picked up our friend Catherine at the train station. We went to dinner at our Pho place. I had a REALLY bad migraine and felt so sick. I thought I was going to get sick several times.
The next morning Richie went to the men's breakfast at church. When he came home around lunch time, Catherine and I went downtown to the Stadt Fest, had lunch and walked around. It was great and miraculously my headache went away! When we came home, Richie started a fire and it was so nice to chill with the kids and read books.
Sunday morning we dropped her off at the train station and hung out in downtown Wiesbaden all day. We walked around the fest a little bit and played in a park. Long weekend. It seems like it takes me forever to recover from a migraine.

I just wrote a post for today and it got deleted. rrrrr.
I passed my drivers test. Yay! 93 out of 100.
Luna was fussy tonight. Could be she didn't take a good nap. When I went in her room to get her after nap time, she was on the floor with her pillow, quilt and cow and the light was on. She was sound asleep. It was too cute.
We went out for eis tonight in Bad Schwalbach. It was in the 60's today. It is supposed to get colder this weekend and rain. Luna dropped her eis at the playground. Pace had a few licks of mine (cocunut and cinnamon) and he liked it!
Pace is great. He was crying really hard when we were putting the other kids to bed. I knew he needed to eat. So I went upstairs to feed him. Just looking at him, he stopped crying and just smiled at me. He is such a happy baby.

Elee found 2 euro under his pillow from the tooth fairy. Although he says there is no tooth fairy. He said he prayed to God and God told him that the tooth fairy is me and daddy. He is so clever. haahaha.
Some moms from church came over today for breakfast. I made a zucchini bake, and also a mango fritata. Luna watched a little t.v. and Pace slept for much of the time. It was a nice time. Makes the week quite a bit better.
I had German class tonight. It is so hard but I feel that I'm learning a little bit. Richie took the kids on a walk tonight while I was gone. I take my drivers test tomorrow. I hope I pass!

I had a headache today. I took phenergen and it took away my headache but made me super sleepy. I took a nap today. Elee last another tooth. He woke me up from my nap and I had to yank it out cuz it was just hanging there. Richie took the boys to Hettenhan which is where Elee's kindergarten is. They had soccor start up tonight. The boys seemed to like it okay. Richie said the coaches treat the kids as if they are training for the Olympics. It's a real bummer.
