The PausHaus

Tonight I came home not too late, a friend dropped me off after squash. I did some homework with Ivan and realized that Ivan reads very well: even difficult words! Blaki was very excited to see me, he came running was smiling all over and literally threw himself to the floor because he was so excited, I have never seen something quite like it.

Today we decided to do a freestyle nightwatch, everybody could think of what they wanted to see and they got it. Markus wanted to look at blueberries…… weird but I think he likes blueberries. Gisele continued in her quest for baby animals, today it was a baby duck. Ivan thought gangsta bean would be cool so we took some nice picture from this relatively new online video game.

Today everybody could decide what they liked. Ivan liked the teaser youtube clip from firebreather.
The music is actually pretty heavy metal, but even Blake is taking a liking to it, must be good.

Gisele wanted to look at nice penguin pictures.

Markus wanted to look at favorite video games for the WII….. imagine that. He loves the lego Harry Potter game.

Today Ana is taking off a little time with Ivan they are not scheduled to be back before the kids go to bed. So tonight it is just our three little ones on the night watch. Blaki did not want to miss out on the nightwatch so we were all cramming on one chair searching for our preferred animal pictures. Tonight we had no fixed topic we just invented them while we were at it. Markus wanted to look at snails, Gisele thought of cute cat babies and Papi searched for a butterfly fish, and Blake’s picture just popped up while we were browsing the pages of the zoo in Cologne.

Markus was desperate not the sleep alone in his room so I let him sleep with Gisele. She was happy to do so. Recently the two are making a pretty good team. They like to play batman pretend with each other and run through the house hand in hand going through daring adventures, I am guessing 🙂 .

Today we wanted to check out amphibians, they are really cool animals. They start their life in the water and later after a metamorphosis acquire characteristics of an air breathing animal. They are like reptiles, cold blooded animals. Ivan did not really think amphibians to be very cool he suggested he would choose a reptile instead. Reptiles are air breathing animals which have their body covered in scales. They lay eggs to procreate. Here are our top choices of tonight.

Excellent choices. Even though we had a great active day in the garden the kids are still not yet really tired and I let them watch a movie before going to bed. I am wondering how long it will take until everything is dead silence because they surrendered to sweet dreams. The bath must soon take its toll on them. Good night everybody!

No way to make it to Geneva tonight…
