Wednesday 12.08.2009 Day 224

My elder son had made this heart for me yesterday.

Today he was by his grandparents as well, so I had time for cleaning and tidying up. I also organized some important things.

It was a sticky and cloudy day.




Tuesday 11.08.2009 Day 223



The last two days I played "Rummy" with my elder son.

Today I had a appointment with my handsome physical therapist.



Monday 10.08.2009 Day 222



Sunny morning - so we enjoyed a bike ride into town, were my elder son was spending me a scoop of ice cream.

In the nick of time we came home before the thunderstorm erupted. The rest of the day it was raining.

In the evening was my pilates course.

STÖCKCHEN I

Some time ago I´ve got a little stick from Gabs. I should tell 10 things that make me happy!! And then I´ll have to throw the little stick to 2 or 3 other bloggers... for doing the same.

Sorry Gabs, it took a bit of time...

So, here are the 10 things that make me happy

01. sunflowers
02. someone who puts his arms honestly around me
03. when someone appreciate my work
04. a day without quarrels and a respectful contact
05. my younger son playing the guitar
06. a smile from my children respectively
---- to see them happy
07. shopping when I find clothes who fits me
08. café latte outside in the sun of a sidewalk café
09. a walk on a cold, sunny and snowy winter day
10. it would make me happy when I would know what´s
---- the right decision

I´ll throw the little stick to three of my webfriends Fab, Kerri, Normi and Takinu - Hope I´ll meet them soon!

9,7 kg less after 8 weeks with WW

Today I slept until 7.45 am - wonderful -

Last day of the skater basic course. In the night it has rained so the pipes were still a little bit wet for the first hour. No sun, but it was very sticky. Despite the black clouds, there was no rain again.

Lucky children.

The pipes may also be used with BMX bikes. And my son tested one - and as may be imagined - he had much fun! He'd love nothing better than to buy a bike itself. But that´s too expensive and it isn´t good to juggle too many balls at once.


After the skater course we visited a funfair - and as you can see - still more sport for my son.

In the meantime the sun had begun to shine!

Hope you all had also a great Sunday!

CU tomorrow!

Saturday 08.08.2009 Day 220



Quiet in the morning - rare and wonderful - so I could sleep until 7 am - that´s better than normally 5.30 am.

My elder son and I were preparing breakfast and we went together to the bakery for fresh baked rolls.

Than it was time for a 2 days skater basic course for my son. Out there it was 31° C degrees hot and no shadow.... but he had much fun.

After the grocery shopping I went also to the skater park and spent my time there - and watching all the lucky children.

At the end of the day my son was very thirsty, hungry, tired and above all - dirty.

While I was blogging this he was allowed to watch TV... now I´m off to put him to bed.

CU tomorrow





Friday 07.08.2009 Day 219



Apple tree on another misty morning on my way to work.

After work I picked up my elder son at his grandparents and later his father went with him to the open-air bath.... certainly this wasn´t good for his cold ... but who´ll ask a mother?

So in the night he was coughing and sneezing.

My younger son has decided to remain with his grandparents for about 10 days!!! He loves being there.

They are having a big garden, a swimming bath, a tree house, a workshop with many tools and own vegetables and endless love for him. The grandfather is making homemade bread and noodles. And my son loves to go to church with his grandmother.

Lucky boy!

Today was a fantastic sunny summer day with 29° C degrees.




Thursday 06.08.2009 Day 218



Black Thursday... no comments thereto

I brought my children to the grandparents for having fun and a overnight stay.

In the afternoon I visited my best friend for a short cup of café latte. Unfortunately she was packing the bags for vacation in France and had not much time - but nevertheless a sympathetic ear for me.

We had wonderful warm and sunny weather.

Wednesday 05.08.2009 Day 217



Last day of the soccer camp and all children got a participation cup.

The camp was a complete success for my elder son. He was one of the best in his age group and he was selected for a further camp. In the next camp he´ll get the chance to win a trial training in a German Bundesliga club.

I know he won´t win - he is good indeed, but not good enough for a Bundesliga club. But it is a feat to get the chance!! We all are very proud of him.

In the evening the boys and their father made another bike ride.

CU tomorrow




Tuesday 04.08.2009 Day 216



The day started misty

My boys had their second day in the soccer camp. And I enjoyed a back massage by the Asian physiotherapist. Because the handsame one has holiday.

It was a nice and sunny day.

In the late afternoon - after soccer, my elder son had a appointment at the hairdresser and then the whole family made a bike ride.

Monday 03.08.2009 Day 215





Both children take part in a soccer camp the next three days and they are having much fun.

The weather didn´t start well - fresh and windy, but thankfully no rain, despite the black clouds.

My elder son has still a cold and actually he should stay at home, without playing soccer, but he wouldn´t! Hope I didn´t make a mistake...

In the afternoon the sun came out.

CU tomorrow!



Sunday 02.08.2008 Day 214





8,1 kg less after 7 weeks with WW

Fantastic weather today.

But someone in our family wasn´t in good mood....so it was a horrible day for all of us...

Only my younger son had the chance of fun in the afternoon. The farmer was reaping his cereal field. So my son went down and asked him, if he may go with him. And he has been allowed. Lucky boy!

Jumping into the ceral trailer and driving in the farmer´s tractor to the silo!



Saturday 01.08.2009 Day 213




Today my children visited the open air theatre with their grandparents. So we had free time for us.

My DH had a hairdresser appointment in the morning. After that we went to a bigger town about 100km far from us. Our first stop there, were Starbucks for a cup of café latte venti - the biggest one they offer there. Yummy... sorry no pictures... because I deleted them once again...inadvertently.

In fantastic sunny weather, I had a great day with shopping expedition; my DH more probably with having lunch in a steak house... LOL... but he survived the expedition.




Friday 31.07.2009 Day 212



Last school day!!! Now school is over for 6 weeks of holiday.

Today they´ve got their reports . My younger son had a fantastic one! Five times he got a A and third times he got a B.

My elder son got his first report in secondary school. That´s a new experience for us. His report wasn't bad, but it could have been better, had he wanted it to be...and as I know he is capable... (thanks Kerri for your help with the translation)

In town we are having a sports outfitters who is pending t-shirts for every pupil with a A in sport. You could imagine both of my kids having a A in sport

The children stayed overnight by their grandparents. They had got tickets from them for a open air theatre to their birthday in spring.

After work I met my DH in town, enjoying a cup of café latte together.
