a day of games and crafts (6/365a)


It started with a model car that I let the kids play with. It's not really ours, it's a decoration that lives over our bed, a model of my grandfather's car, a Citroën 2cv, which until recently lived in our basement in pieces, until we finally brought it out and scrapped it over New Years. It was a quite bittersweet.

The kids have been facinated with car symbols and brands lately, and like to point out mercedes "sterne" (stars) and felix auto's (FIAT, I guess felix because it starts with F) and "zitrone" (means lemon, and sounds kind of like Citroën)

Brian took Felix hiking alone, and took my camera and brought back lots of beautiful pictures*

Then the lovely market where I bought 40 eggs, and lots and lots of colorful vegetables. Theodore and Henry were given carrots by the nice farmers (as is quite typical) and on the way home Theodore lost another tooth.

We had a surprise visit from Fritz (who had taken Theodore on that hiking trip) and he brought us vines and willow boughs to make easter baskets with. We had coffee and chatted garden and fun things.

It's the time of year that these funny beetles mate.
