Book Character Party

Every March is book month for the elementary students. One of the events is a party where everyone gets to dress up from a character in a book. It's always fun to see how creative some of the kids and teachers get!! We all get together and everyone gets to share who they are and then the judges choose who the top #5 winners are. I got to be a judge this year and it was not easy picking the best ones! After the prizes are passed out, we all go to our lunch room and eat cake (or this year cupcakes) that have been decorated according to the theme of the party. This year the theme was non-fiction, so we had "dirt"+worm cupcakes with edible grass and bug cupcakes. We, teachers, had fun decorating them the night before.

    The edible (notice the spelling!) ;o) cupcakes look yummy! Great costumes ... I'm so "out of the loop" that I would have a hard time figuring everyone out! I'm sure it was HARD to choose!!

Welcoming strangers into my home

For 16 weeks now, we have had a young refugee couple from Syria living with us. They have been married a little over a year and for the majority of that time have been separated from each other, since he made the journey to Austria alone and got everything in order so that she could come legally.  Let me backtrack a bit and tell you how it all started. As the refugee crisis really started to explode here, facebook was buzzing with articles, videos, pictures, etc. of the situation. I read a lot. I saw a lot. I was moved. I was troubled. But what could I do? I had a three year old and one year old at home.  ... I could teach some German. But when?   ... I could donate clothes and other items that were needed. But that didn't seem like enough. ... I could give money. But I wanted something more tangible.  I would put my youngest to bed and during those days, she needed lots of TLC in order to get to sleep. I kept thinking about the refugees and how t...

6. chair

Z is loving her new "chair"- no more laying around in the buggy for this little one. {unless of course she's napping} She loves looking around and taking it all in. I love being able to see her better this way and laugh together. Just today I got stopped at the grocery store by a woman that asked me if I knew how adoringly my baby was looking at me.  It was a strange, yet funny and sweet, experience...very un-Austrian.
