So, we made edible clay today.
Which is, basically, cookie dough, brightly colored with food coloring I brought from England.
You shape it...
and then you bake it...
... and it entertains the kids for at least one happy hour, and then you give it to Oma and Opa, who´ll happily devour it. That´s their job.
Oma and Opa came today, and took my Ronnie, for the week. They´ll spoil her beyond reason, take her to the theatre and feed her sweets and her favourite dishes all week long, I know, but I can´t help feeling a little orphaned, with only three kids left. Especially since our English Couchsurfers left us, too...
...and you don´t just go from 8 kids to three in a week without feeling eerily quiet. Especially when those kids just perfectly fit into or home...
...enjoying Twilight on the sofa just as much as we do. I mean, poeple who don´t mind spending half of the day in their pyjamas, just to read books, without even slightly minding the growing messiness? Yep.
It´s a good thing we´re having at least Eva´s french tutoring group over every second day, four giggly girls crowding our kitchen in the morning hours.
Oh, and that Greek birthday party we got invited to...
...that was also great.
Mehmet and Miro´s best friends have Greek parents, and cousins, and aunts, and they threw a big birthday party, inviting all of us. It was beyond awesome learning greek birthday songs, debating the Euro-crisis, being stuffed with homemade tsasiki, and later during the evening, grabbing the guitar, singing together.
And the pouring rain wasn´t bad at all, since it was sort of an awesome party game trying to keep us from being drowned by holding up a plastic tent with a broomstick...
it certainly helped getting to know each other and bonding as friends :)
Music for today:
The amazing, more than marvelous Sam Tsui, who made me finally like this song.
