It’s here, the first day of school! It was a mostly smooth morning. The babies loved their schultüte or maybe it’s “their schultüten” I’ll ask Esther. Not traditionally something Germans do every year the kids go to school, just for the first grade, but I started something that will be hard to stop!

Forgive the Cheez-It teeth.
How can you tell if your baby is German?
Esther: Open die fridge. Put die milk back in.
Esther: I can’t reach it!
Mama: What are you reaching for?
Esther: Die fan.
Clara: “Mama did you know we have a crack in our booty?”
Mama: “Yes!”
Clara: “That’s how God made it. And He made our eyes and our ears and our mouth and our nose and our hair and our head. But I made my bracelet.”
Lily: Was this kitchen all Daddy’s before you got married?
Mama: Yep.
Lily: And was there not a lot of food in it? Did all you see was Macaroni and Spaghetti when you came?
Mama: Ha!
Lily: I wish I liked more foods. Then I wouldn’t complain about it.
Mama: 🙁

Since none of you are allowed in the Living Room while I work out Clara has been kind enough to perform the duty of Living Room Sketch Artist.
Mama doing Plank Jacks. Mercy watching in bouncer. (Notice laptop with Jillian doing a much better job than Mama.)
Mama doing Crunches. Mercy watching in bouncer.
Mama stretching out shoulders. Mercy cheering in bouncer.
Mama All Done! Rainbows and happiness! Mercy’s bouncer has become an Airplane.

Clara: “Lily, after we put our bowls in the sink let’s go polish our diamonds!”
Excuse me now while I go polish my diamonds.
