Carnival

We opted for the warmer version of carnival today - we went to an indoor kids carnival party, as opposed to an outdoor parade. Robert loved it there, Richard was scared and had a fever. So he and Florian went home earlier. But Robert and I stayed and danced away - well, Robert spun himself round and round my finger!
And that was basically today. In the morning we all did jigsaws, at one point we had 9 completed jigsaws on the floor around us. Robert was doing Thomas the tank engine ones, and Richard Bob the builder. I am really impressed with both of them. Robert did a 64 (!) piece one, almost completely without help. And Richard did 20 piece ones without my help! Wow!

Oh, I put my old secretary suits on Ebay after lunch - that is 6 different auctions, then we also put on one of Florian's old suits. We'll see if we can get something for them. It will be fun watching it this coming week anyway.

Tonight JFTSOI decide who goes through to Round 3. I have had great fun so far, and would love to make it further, but the other girls there are good at it too. I prefer a simpler layout where the pictures show up better, but if they are looking for someone who can use most of the kit on one layout, then maybe I am not the right one for the job. We'll see, tomorrow morning I should find out.

All is quiet here, must have worn the boys out at the party.
Bye 4 now

Thanks so much for visiting and stopping by my blog today, I'm glad you're enjoying the scrapkits :)
To your bilingual question: Yes, our son is growing up bilingually, however, reading and writing in German is definitely falling short at this point in time and maybe that'll change once he'd be in High School choosing German as an 'official subject'. Also, English is rather his first language and he doesn't speak as much and well German as English. I believe that living in Germany or Europe, chances are better of your kids incorporating more than 1 language in reading, writing and speaking into their every day lifes...?!
