After running home, we ate a quick dinner before heading back to school for Kindergarten Make & Take Night. M+M were asked to do a reading to kick off the second part of the night... They practiced very hard and did a great job. Bill and i were very proud! :)

This morning, Bill took the girls to the Porsche Museum. They had a blast running around and checking out all the cars!

Tonight, we had our neighbors over for dinner. We enjoyed a long, lazy meal... We drank, we talked, we laughed... We laughed especially hard at the kiddos dressed up at pirates!

MN: starting Flat Stanley at school
MR: feeding the fish

Big doings at school today! MN brought home Flat Stanley's travel journal for a week with our family. She was so excited that she pulled it out of her backpack all by herself to get started working on today's entry (Flat Stanley and MN at gymnastics!) MR was thrilled to be starting jobs in her class... Her first job is feeding the fish. If all goes well (no overfeeding the fish!), i see a small tank in our future. :)

MN+MR: Daisy Meeting

MN and MR are in a Daisy troop. The troop meets twice a month to do projects to earn petals towards their daisy and learn about scouting. Each week, a different family teaches a petal lesson. Today, was one of our petal days... We taught: Be A Sister to Every Girl Scout. I had a great time spending time with M&M and meeting and working with more of their friends. I'm looking forward to mailing off our penpal letters to NJ and receiving some letters in return. :)

MN+MR: Ritter Sport Museum and Store

Today we drove about an hour south of our home to visit the Ritter Sport Museum and Store. It's a small museum, but truth be told, the main draw for us was the store! ;) We've been enjoying Ritter chocolate since we moved to Germany and had a great time reading about chocolate making and the history of the company. We each picked a few bars and had fun trying them out on the drive home.
