Starting to be Adventurous

So this morning we made it to Nico's school on time! Then we took the train to Finni's school. After I dropped him off I decided to be big brave and strong and head into Bad Godesberg on my own. It is just a short walk from Finni's Kindergarden. I needed to get a pillow and a birthday present for Finn. After that I stopped at a bakery for the first time because I needed to eat some breakfast... I got a croissant and some orange juice and it was delicious. I got back to the train and headed home before picking up Nico. I picked up Nico and we did homework, I gave him his surprise that he has been working for a few days, and then made grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch. After lunch we skyped my mom and dad in Utah for a few minutes while it was working so that Nico could finally meet them. We took the train to pick up Finni because it was raining. When we got back home we skyped Koko in Japan for a while while I made the boys a snack. We played for a while with their new transformers. The cleaning lady came over and started working on the house. Patrick called and said that he was not going to make it home in time to take Nico to soccer... so we all got on our bikes and headed out. We got to the practice and I wasn't sure if I was supposed to stay or not so I decided to stay and watch. After soccer it was pouring rain so we all got drenched riding our bikes home. The cleaning lady was still working and was in the kitchen so we had to wait before I could start making dinner. We played a little and once the lady said she was done in there I started on food. I made milk soup (that Monika showed me at Disney) for dinner because it was something simple and easy that I thought the boys would like it. Finni refused to try it so I just gave him the macaroni part with some butter and salt but Nico said he would give it a shot. After 2 bites he declared that it was too sweet and that he wanted what Finni had. Patrick however finished his bowl before me and then ate the rest of Nico's. So there were no left overs of the milk soup. After dinner I started on the dishes but Patrick quickly took over. I came up and got on my pajamas and now am talking with my sister on skype!

  1. Those boys are SO dang picky! Haha... Finn is the worst about it, but I'm proud of Nico for at least trying it! Good on you... :)

    You're being adventurous! Yay! That was something I regretted about my first two months there - I was too nervous to explore and wasted time. Eh. Glad things are going better! :) You're doing AMAZING, I'm sure.
