The tired, toothache headache....

June 16, 2009

WHAT A DAY! So yesterday was Finn's birthday! Today, we woke up at 7 am with all 4 of the kids and got them ready for Kindergarten! Ole came home from his grandmas while we were getting the kids ready, and Steven had to leave for work an hour before kindergarten so Ulli took the kids to Kindergarten, and I watched Ole for 20 minutes. Then Ulli came back and i kinda helped clean up the breakfast mess until I took Ole upstairs to play because he was so whiny and just making a mess. We played in Finn's room(he has a slide on his bed that Ole loves, and lots of cars!) and then Ulli got in the car and I put Ole in the stroller and we headed to REWE(the supermarket) for some Coffee(Ulli) and a danish. Ole and I walked because Ulli wanted to make sure I remembered the way she'd showed me yesterday. She had to drive though because as soon as we finished Coffee and the Danish she went to the doctor and I stayed with Ole in Heitersheim.

Ulli left and Ole and I played by the river a little and then did a little grocery shopping and then walked around town. He's getting his last few teeth so he was not feeling well at all and so he cried sooo much!! I finally went home and put him down for a nap(which Ulli suggested if he wouldn't stop crying. he looked so tired after coming back from grandmas!) So I went in and finished cleaning up my room!(oh yeah! I unpacked yesterday!!!!) :D It's so nice and clean I love it!
Well while Ole was suppose to be sleeping, the people next door were doing construction so he just cried a lot.... he would stop and i'd think he was asleep but then he cried some more, so i went in and picked him up but he just flopped back into his crib. I finally figured out how to turn some music on and he stopped crying and went to sleep.

about ten minutes later Ulli got home and we started making lunch. Then she asked(in german) if I wanted to go pick up Finn from Kindergarten! I said sure and made my way walking through town. I was proud of myself when I found it on my first try!! Finn and I walked home and when we got there Ulli had lunch ready! :) Yummy chicken and potatoes and broccoli!(I bought it all! haha!)

The little neighbor girl Annika(3 years old) came over and played with Finn for a bit. Ole woke up not too long after we finished eating and so he ate and then we got ready to head to Freiburg. It's such a BEAUTIFUL city!! :) I didn't really take any pictures(sorry!) I was pushing the stroller most of the time, but I'm planning on going back tomorrow!!
We went and got some yummy bread and then went and got me a key!!(picture coming soon!) now when I leave the house, I can let myself back in! yahoo!! :) i was really excited about that! We were planning on doing some other stuff while we were there(talking to the insurance company, getting a few things, and a cell phone for me)but the boys were soooo ornery!!! Finn was ornery cuz he didn't get much sleep(12-7 is not enough for a 5 year old who normally sleeps at 8:30)and Ole was ornery cuz his teeth hurt and he didn't feel good. They cried a lot of the way through town and we finally just thought "forget it" and left. We'll go back on Saturday when Steven gets back. and then we'll get me a bike! :)

When we finally got back to Heitersheim(the car ride seemed FOREVER long with two crying boys!) Finn got to watch little Einsteins and ole cried and Ulli and I(while helping with ole) made dinner.... or more so set it out! bread, some chicken salad, cheese, lunch meat, that sorta thing. and we just kinda ate and then we got the boys ready for bed. I think they fell asleep really really fast! they both needed it!!

I had a headache by the time the were asleep... I call it my tired, toothache headache because without the boys being tired and having a toothache, i wouldn't have the headache! lol! So now here I sit, writing this and thinking... I really should be in bed!! I'm still not use to the sleeping times yet, but tomorrow is planned to be my free day! I think I'll go to Freiburg and get lost a bit... :) then maybe attempt to find the church house and go to Institute! :) Hopefully I'll make some friends, since the Au Pair from Canada is on her goodbye vacation and won't be back till next week.... then the new Au pair from London will come and I can't wait! :) Until tomorrow....
*sorry no pictures for today!! Like I said, I didn't really take any cuz I'm planning on going tomorrow!
