as of late...

yes, there is more in my life then fasnachts.
wednesday, i went shopping in zurich. i bought some teal bow clips and 2 new scarves{i needed scarves for egypt because i only brought winter scarves with me}. anna is modeling the clips and 1 of the scarves. i told her to make a funny face for the picture and this is her "i dont want to make a funny face" face and well, it turned out to be a funny face.

on saturday, tyler and i went for a walk {our first walk together} and this Toblerone chocolate chocolate swiss alpes cake hid in my room from Rob, it was his birthday saturday. {the frosting was even Toblerone} i will have you know my room smelt like this cake and it was torture.

today was a fun day. i did the girls' hair {as you can see from the below pics, it didn't last too long}, then we played outside with tyler, then after i put tyler to sleep the girls and i went to the park. {don't worry roberta was home, tyler was not alone}. we had the park to ourselves. it was great. we played on the teeter totter, swung on the swings, played pirates, played tag, played hid and go seek. here is a funny story~at one point anna was running and fell and scratched herself up pretty bad, but she barely cried. and we continued to play. she fell before the majority of the playing. while walking back to their house, i said to anna that when she shows her mom her scrapes that she should tell her how she didn't cry. anna said no she wasn't going to tell her mom that. i asked her why and she said she just didn't want her to know....of course i knew she had something planned. we raced up the last hill...anna won. when we got inside anna became very whiney and said how much her scratches hurt, complained about how she could barely walk{you clearly just joyfully raced up the hill} and requested that she just lay down and watch a movie. ANNA...you were JUST fine!! that is why she didn't want her mom to know, she wanted to act like she was in pain to get something she wanted!{i mean i am sure it hurt, but she was just fine outside!} that girl!

also, today mariah told me she loved me and said she will be sad when i leave and go back home. mariah is such a sweetie.



here we are pirates. these girls are so funny and so fun. you can notice, a bit, how funny they both run. sometimes, i make them run just so i can chuckle to myself.
