Reading is Fundamental

hahaha... I have to laugh at the title because of the new Terry Tate video that I watched the other day.

Anyway :) Since Josh is home sick it gave me the opportunity for some much needed one on one time with Noah Boah. We went to a new park yesterday to feed the ducks and play on the playground and noticed a big beautiful library at the entrance. I told Noah we would go in on the way back out, but by then Tristan was cranky so we just went home. I told him we would go back tomorrow (today) while Tristan was napping, just Noah and Mommy. So we did! Noah thought it was his birthday or something he was so excited. They let him get his own library card and he signed his name on the back. He picked out 4 books, 3 of them Halloween books. He thanked the librarian (in an excited whisper) twice for his library card. I think we'll be going to the library at least once a week. It's nice and relatively close to home. Here are the books we're reading this week! They're all linked if you want to look further.

The library! What a great idea! I think that would be a great thing to do. I might have to take Matthew to the Library when things slowdown next week. :)

That is so exciting getting his first library card. How old do they have to be? I bet Haley would love to do that to. I like all the books he picked out. Haley would love that Dora one.

I asked the librarian what the age cutoff is and she said they leave it up to the parents' discretion. So I guess here you can be any age at all!

I used to take Alex and Caleb to the library all the time, but I don't take Jake. I guess it's because we have at least 1 BILLION books in this house. I can open my own library at this point. LOL

Hurricane Sandy

This will be a gleefully uneventful post, but I thought I should at least inform everyone of our whereabouts during Frankenstorm. On Friday the landfall predictions were further south, which had the eye passing near our tiny town after obliterating Dover, DE.  We happen to be surrounded by water.  The Patuxent River on one side, Chesapeake Bay on the other, plenty of swamps and creeks in between.  Not a good prospect. Josh and I had gone out that night to try and secure supplies and already, there were no batteries or flashlights.  We also don't have a grill and thought "we'll try Lowe's tomorrow"I mean, most people already own grills... right?  Everything in our house is run on electricity (including the water pump for the well) except for the fireplace.  I don't know what builders are thinking when they do that.  I at least want a gas stove and water heater!  So, anyways.  We got a few hours of sleep before trying to brave the crowds...

Germany

Noah and I are having a great time out in Germany with Josh. The house we're sharing is amazing and the people are also amazing. The only thing we don't have is our own kitchen, but like I said, the people who live here (Josh's friends) are amazing so it's not even an issue. I've been cooking for everyone to try to thank them in some way. We haven't been to many places yet. It's hard to go anywhere with a baby who has a naptime and a husband who has a job. However!! We managed to make it out to Heidelberg to see the castle. It was awesome. the walk up to the castle mmmm castle Heidelberg down below Christmas is huge here. They've even got Christmas markets out in the parking lot in front of WalMart. We've been to Luisenplatz a few times in downtown Darmstadt to visit all the Christmas shops they have set up. It's like a Christmas flea market. Thus far all I've blown money on is candy... mmmm German candy is so delicious. It's...

Hiking on the Guadarrama Trail

As promised yesterday, I actually left the house and went on a hike with Mama C and Goober!  YAY! I was a bad Mommy and ill prepared to shield us from the hot Spanish sun so we all have a touch of sunburn.  Whoops.  It was fun though.  OK so here's where we began our journey.  You can see the bridge between the roundabout and the little house with a red roof (which is a restaurant).  All the cylindrical buildings were a plant nursery.  We walked over the bridge and past the nursery where we crossed the street and then started up the dirt path.  The other little building is literally a Gypsy Keep. Here's what it looked like from the road... and it was so ridiculously creepy, yet fascinating.  I don't know why there is always tons of junk in trees around gypsy places.  There was a gutted van in the backyard, a stroller jammed into a wall, shorts in the trees.  We both wanted to trespass, but the kids would have inevitably fal...
