Rain rain go away

Emma was showing me off at kintergarden this morning, she made me go in when i picked her up and all the kids wre like wowwwwwww and she had told them about me and she made me speak English to them. ITs obviously gotten around the mums to because they all had a good stare when we were walkin in, they wont forget my face in a hurry!
I met a french man in town today. I miss English conversation but at least I could have some kind of conversation with another adult, which was cool. I taught Emma "rain rain go away" and she has been singing it all day, but she always forgets the word "again" so she just replaces it with whatever ENglish word beginnin with A she can think of, usually apple, so its come apple another day, very cute.
We were singing ten green bottles this morning too....the word acidentally in her accent is possibly the cutest thing I have ever heard.
I went into Dieburg with Laura for coffee tonight too which was nice, we talked etc etc, shes really nice but really shy. I feel desperately sorry for her. Shes been a housewife for four years and in the last 2 of them shes been out 3 times with her husband, which is kind of tragic, so I said I dont midn lookin after the kids at night so they can go out for a meal and she looked so touched. She also said the first day she left for work she was so nervous about leaving, but today she was stallin at work, not wanting to come home because she thought she would interrupt our fun! Made me feel all fuzzy inside! SO seemingly all is well!

a very good day

Today was my first proper day alone with the kinder and both me and the parents were reeeeeeeeeeeeally nervous, which is understandable, especially since Emma was not using her English properly so they thought that maybe we wouldnt be able to talk to each other, but as soon as Lara left this morning the door banged and Emma shouts "So my friend, what are we doing today!" which was funny and so cute at the same time. so after kindergarden we went for a walk and came across an "Eiscafe" which is like an ice cream parlour. In we go and Emma and Laro order Beine Mayer and along it comes, these guys are ice cream artists! Out comes an ice cream bee with ice cream and bananas and chocolate sauce and wafer and nuts and cream and even a sparkler for the stinger! the picture really doesnt do the bee, who we called Sandra, much justice!
Anyhoosum...we ate Bees and on the way home there was a HUGE storm and we got drenched, it didnt help that Emma is the slowest walker on the planet but we came back, drank Heisse Shokolade (hot chocolate....durrr) and watched the lion king, in ENglish no less and then bed.
When Lara got back Emma told her that when she finishes her internship she is coming back to England to stay with me, Laro is staying here, but he can visit. Cute, very cute. She also introduced me to her kintergarden teacher as her best freind, which was uber cute!
All in all a good day, I think tomorrow will be much easier to because no one will be so worried. Germany is officially cool, and these kids are ACE!

Hallo Be Deutschland

Hallo, ist Deutschland ausgezeichnet, liebe ich es hier, gibt es viele nette zu besuchende Plätze und die Sachen zum zu sehen und Emma und Laro sind schöne Kinder, die mich Lächeln alot bilden. Ich kippe Wartezeit für Morgen, als wir mehr Spaßsachen tun können. Ein vier Einjahres half mir, dieses zu schreiben, das möglicherweise ein Spitze Sorgen ist!

Translated back to English on Sir Babel the ever trusty fish:
Hello, Germany is excellent, I love it here, There is many nice places to visit and things to see and Emma and Laro are beautiful children who make me smile alot. I cant wait for tomorrow when we can do more fun things. A four year old helped me write this which is maybe a bit worrying!

In a nutshell it is really nice here, the people are friendly;Kai and Laura the parents, Emma and Laro the children, and princess Lillypie the second (I Daren't ask about Princess Lillypie the first) are really nice and welcoming, the alcohol is free flowing, and everything I would ever need is within 10 minutes walk...stick a fork in me----Im done

Three good things:
1) Emma is a total princess and reeeeeeally well behaved
2) The bed is really comfy
3) They drink alcohol allllll the time

Three not so good things, but not BAD things:
1) Out of 96 cable channels, the ony English one is CNN
2) Laro has three volume settings, loud, louder and eardrum burstingly unbearable
3) Stooooooopid German keyboardmakes it reallly hard to type

The wonderful german language

pending the adventurous cross-country move I have been learning a little about the German language, and what a beautiful thing it is, unfortunately it sometimes clashes with our own....as id care to illustrate in the following completely undoctored photos from around germany! my personal favourite would have to be wurstfuchs
