I got tired of having all the barbie furniture sitting on my dresser, so this week has been barie house, barbie house and more barbie house. There is still a bit of trim that it missing, but done enough that it can go back into the girl's bedroom.</div>

Saturday morning we woke up to a white winter wonderland. But in
October, it's not too common to have snow here that early. Last year
our first snowfall was at the end of January. Sydney was thrilled about
the snow and couldn't wait to get outside and play in the snow. </div>

Ashlyn loves to sing. Here she is busy singing her ABC's. It's funny cause she counts herself off in German and then starts the alphabet off in English and then it turns into a mix of both German and English letters. Not to mention the letters that skipped over.

After a 30 minutes walk we were back at the kindergarten where we started and had pumpkin soup and bread. Sydney liked the soup and Ashlyn the bread. After eating the kids play at the playground and the parents talked. Close to 7 pm everything was over and it was finally dark. So on the 2 minute walk home the girls were finally able to use their lanterns the proper way.</div>

Sydney's favorite part of the day was the hay. There was an area set up for kids of all ages to play in. Ashlyn was very unsure, but Syd loved it. The middle picture of Sydney and David is my favorite picture from the whole day, the expressions are priceless.</div>

Inside the musuem they had stuffed, perseved animals everywhere. There were glass boxes with wildlife scenes, individual animals, diplays of animals groups, and hands on nature exhibits. The kids had lots of fun running around and looking at all the animals. The best displays for the kids were any that had buttons and need to be pushed. There was also a rainforest room with a treehouse that the kids loved.Bendel Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07898266007756848752noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116709251934013815.post-7344355528387357782012-09-30T11:50:00.002-07:002012-09-30T11:50:42.677-07:00Kindergarten Start Fall 2012<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

After the unsuccessful attempt to get both girls smiling in Kindergarten - I took the girls to a park and took a couple pictures myself. Here is one of the best from the park.</div>Bendel Lifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07898266007756848752noreply@blogger.com0
