I have to tell you something serious,

but I guess you'll like it!

I just came back from an amazingly awesome day that I spent at the Exton- mall with Andrea, where we bought cool stuff like bracelets, necklaces, a "schileh" ( I am not in the mood for looking up words right now, I mean a Gilet :P  but as I had to look up how you spell this in German, I also found the time to look it up in English, it's a body warmer :D ), body butter and so on - although I was looking for autumn clothes, and I had time to talk to her for a long time, because we went out for dinner at cosi's afterwards and spent almost 2 hours sitting in her car eating ice cream (pistachio and vanilla-chocolate-fudge) in front of a grocery store, and I now made a decision-

I AM GOING TO WRITE MORE OFTEN ON MY BLOG

I am typing this in big letters because everybody will read this then immediately and there is no chance for me to escape! ;)

As I talked to Andrea about writing on blogs, we came to the conclusion that we always feel the need to write on our blog because otherwise we'll feel guilty, but that we sometimes don't find the time for it! Well, actually I don't find the time for it, because I am too lazy, but she is an amazing "blog- writer" and I just love her blog!

So I got inspired by my friend and am going to write more often...don't expect too much, just a little bit.. ;)
But I hope that the people who tell me that they like reading my blog are happy to read these news.. ;)

And check out Pandora.com, you just type in an artist you like, and they'll play this artist's songs or any kind of music that is similar to that- pretty cool!
I gave them John Mayer, and they also played Maroon5, Jack Johnson and other awesome artists!

And Andrea, this picture is for you:
I just have to laugh whenever I see it- isn't it wonderful- almost as nice as your picture ;)

hahahahaha

This is what else I did this and other weekends:

Being silly with Cansu

meeting at applebee's..desserts highly are recommended.

YUM

 

 

 

making "crazy" faces at the park after playing tag (kinda embarassing ;) )

 

hanging out...

The relationship between the kids and me improved the past week- they listen to me more carefully, they respect when I tell them to do something, and they come to me for cuddling and tickling more often- I really enjoy when we just hang out, go to the park or play games... Of course there are days where the communication takes places better than at other days, but, well, they are just kids, and I am just a human being too ;)

And one of Kaitie's sentences really touched my heart, because it just came out of her one evening..:

"Ida, I really like that you are our aupair!"
