rain rain go away....

June 22, 2009

Well for breakfast I'll give you one guess at what we ate for breakfast this morning... yup that's right! Schokomussli..... oh my goodness I'm so sick of it, but by the time i finish getting the boys ready and get down there they already have my schokomussli ready for me.... great! When I finished getting the boys ready, I took Finn to kindergarten with ole in the buggy, and then went home. It's always a nice walk home but today finn rode his "laufrad" aka:like a walking/running bike with no pedals, and he was NOT looking where he was going while he was riding. it was a pain to get him to stop too. but we got him to kindergarten in one peace then Ole and I went home. We left Ole with Stefan, and then Ulli and I headed in to Freiburg to try and figure out what we needed to do for my Visa and to make me officially their Au Pair.
We ended up walking all over Freiburg because everywhere we went sent us somewhere else. We had to go in to the stadtmitte(city center) to take a picture of me(had to be like a passport photo) We got that done, and then headed back to Heitersheim because apparently we needed to go to the Rathaus in Heitersheim first! We thought we'd get to the Rathaus in time to get the stuff done their today(it closes at noon) but we got stuck in traffic so we got there right after it closed.... suppose maybe tomorrow? the place in Freiburg is only open a few days a week so we'll see when we get things done.
Well since that didn't work, we headed to Sparkasse(my bank) to see what their friend could do about a phone for me. I suppose the other day he told Ulli that they still had a bunch of phones left over from a deal they had where if you open an account you get a free pre-paid phone. Well... apparently he was drunk when he told her that because they didn't have any left(ulli's the one that claims he was drunk not me!)
so.... the things we were going to do today ended up NOT working. We headed up the street and picked Finn up from kindergarten, which was kinda a mess because he wanted to ride his "bike" home from the kindergarten, but he didn't want to come with ME. which would mean Ulli would walk and I drive, which is not possible. so he threw a fit the whole time we were in the car on the way home(lucky it's only a few minutes!)
We got home and Stefan asked if I wanted to help him make Schnitzel! :) Of course I said yes!!!!!!! It's so easy to make! and it tasted so good!! I think it's like the best schnitzel I've had in germany so far(yes even better than at schnitzel charly last year!)
We did the whole nap/mid-day pause thing and then Ulli and I took the kids to play at Miriam's(the mom of Kiki and Marlena-they just live through the block) We talked and watched half the kids in the neighborhood(about 15 were there) just ride their bikes and play, until it started raining(I was surprised it wasn't raining for like 2 hours while the kids played!!)
We got home and I watched Kleine Einsteins with Finn--or rather, I sat on one couch and he sat on the other and we both watched it. Ulli got abendsbrot(evening bread) out, and then we ate. I tried got cheese tonight, and I'm not going to lie--IT'S GOOD!!! :) apparently the boys really like it because when they started drinking bottles they drank goats milk instead of formula. Ole drinks formula now, but only before bed! :)

Overall it was a pretty ok day! I love watching all the kids play together! however, it would be so much nicer if it would quit raining for at least one whole day!

--sorry--i didn't take any pictures today! :S
