Everyday Life

Lest you think all we do is travel and sight see I decided to dedicate a post to our everyday life. Townsend and Emerson joined Tiger Scouts this year. Daddy takes them to their meetings twice a month and I think the boys enjoy the time they get to spend with their Dad. They recently had a "rain gutter regatta." I missed out on this event because I was visiting Paige that weekend but Hyrum said the boys had fun.

They had fun, I promise...even if Emerson looks sort of grumpy

My day starts at 6:30 AM when I get the boys up for school. They catch the bus at 7:10 AM and then Julian and I have to find something to do with our day. We usually clean up a bit around the house, do some laundry and watch some You Tube videos of Sesame Street. On most days we go shopping just for something to do. One particular day, on my way home from shopping, we past Burger King. Julian pointed to it from his car seat and said "bok, bok, bok" like a chicken. I guess maybe I go there too often to get him chicken fries but it is something to do to fill up our day:)

How cute is he?

For Veteran's Day the boys school put on a "Soldier of My Life" assembly. The boys got to wear their scout uniforms and stand up on the stage while the flag was brought in and then they led the school in the pledge of allegiance. It was pretty cute seeing all those boy scouts and girl scouts up on the stage. All of the soldiers that were there, mostly the parents of the students, were then invited to come up on the stage and then all the elementary school students sang patriotic songs for the soldiers. It was really cute. Some of the soldiers on stage were crying when the kids sang "Thank You To Our Soldiers."

A friend from church works in the pharmacy at the clinic and every once in a while a package gets delivered with dry ice. He gave the ice to Hyrum and the boys had so much fun being mad scientists for the afternoon!

My two crazy scientists!

The weather is turning cold and rainy so we headed to Play Mobil Land to spend the day at the indoor play area. It's a real bargain during the winter season, only 2,50 Euro!

So, my life isn't all about exploring Europe. We enjoy doing regular family type things here in Germany as well:)
