The mom came back from her stay in Holland on Tuesday night, ending my long week, though it was fun playing mom! But, not before we all got a slight cold: stuffy noses, coughs, diarrhea, etc. Tuesday I went down to Basel with Romee and Katie and we had a picnic on the Rhine river (first 2 pics). Wednesday I had the day off , so I went to the zoo with Sarah, another au pair, and then went to Starbucks and talked to friends or 6 hours! Halloween isn't big here at all. In fact, I didn't see a costume the entire day. I saw maybe 5 jack-o-lanterns, and 2 pubs that had any decorations. It was strange to not celebrate this year. But, when I woke up on Wednesday Sterre had made a Halloween display on the counter. The paper said, "It Halloween and be scard." Then she found a plastic ladybug and squirted mayonnaise around it to scare me. It made my day.
So, this weekend I went to Sarah's house for an appetizer party and board games. It was fun and we all got dressed up. Then on Saturday Katie and I ran from Fluh into Basel, about 7 miles, and saw parts of the city we've never seen before. That's what the 3 pictures below are of. There is a big carnival going on downtown as well. We didn't ride anything though, we were too cold wearing shorts.
This is a video of Romee saying "bless you." I taught her it! She isn't very clear, but I promise she is saying it.
Things I did new as MOM:
cooked chicken (but it was actually pork, oops)
made popcorn on the stove
changed diarrhea diapers

I'm so proud of you for cooking meat and changing nasty diapers!!! lol. So I realized we still haven't set up a skype date and we need to start being pen palls. heh heh. Hope you're doing good!
Ha...Pork not = Chicken...that's awesome! I miss you...and I bet you had to use a lot of baby wipes for the diaper changes.
I'm glad you had good practice as a mommy.
