A GREAT day!

Well, I (no that should be "we") finished the translation about 11pm last night. So between us that was 6 hours last night alone. So you can probably imagine just how big a translation that was. But it doesn't matter who wants me to do one they all say the same "it's not much really, there are a lot of pictures in the document" - and it is always more than they are expecting me to have to do, this time it was 9 hours work!! Never mind. The pocket money will come in very handy!

Florian had today off , but the kids had Kindergarden, so we made the most of it, and went into town without the kids and did some clothes shopping for both of us. Florian got a new pair of shoes (the first in a long time that he won't be wearing for work!), 3 T-shirts and a pair of shorts. And as we were on our way out of the shop, I stopped at one of the mannequins there, and thought that looks nice. Found it, tried it on and bought it. A skirt and blouse. Somehow much more practical for the wedding, especially as I will be the photographer. Florian really liked it too.

Having done the clothes shopping, Florian treated us to an ice-cream. We both had "spaghetti ice cream" (thats vanilla icecream pushed through something to make it look like spaghetti on top of cream, with strawberry sauce and sprinkled with white chocolate. Have I made your mouth water yet? Mine is! I could eat another one right now!)
Then it was time to pick the kids up. Florian picked them up today actually, and he had a chance to chat to the kindergarden teachers about Robert and Richard and speaking German. I never ask, cause they normally tell me off about it. I wasn't there.
Apparently, when asked to both Robert and Richard do repeat what they have just said in English in German! wow, I am impressed! but even more surprising was that the Kindergarden teacher has finally realised that what we are doing for the kids is a GREAT present and said so to Florian. Finally they realise! At first they were so against it, probably makes life easier for Robert and Richard now they are not against them being bilingual.

This afternoon we all went in the garden. After another ice-cream (just a cone), the boys and Florian mowed the lawn. And I did my ironing out there! Made a change! We all finished at the same time. Although I am sure Florian would have been finished a lot faster without his little helpers! I wouldn't have though 12 shirts and blouses, plus other odds and ends take their time!

No translation tonight, so I hope to get some scrapping done. BTST's gallery is up and running again, with a new improved version. So I want to get all my layouts I did whilst it was down up, and perhaps finish off the challenges there. Still have to take pics of me and scrap them.... And make a Quickpage!

Speaking of Quickpages, how about this one:
Michelle made it using Phillsboo's "Sweetest boy of all" kit, you can get it on her blog, just click the preview.



bye 4 now
