Just Monkeying Around

So this is us today, just monkeying around. Mason is wearing his monkey b-day mask (mom, from the card you sent!) and drinking Coke Light (it's diet Coke, but they call it Coke Light here). I'm not sure if you can tell, but the package on the left that Sam is holding is brown sugar and this is the BIGGEST box of it you can get at the Commissary (Military grocery store). I'd shop for it off-base, but they don't even have brown sugar in Germany!



Joe is sporting his new t-shirt. We let each of the boys pick their own new t-shirt because they've been stuck doing so many grown up errands lately. Mason is demonstrating how to flush a European toilet: push the big button behind the toilet. Some toilets have one smaller circular button inside the larger circle button so you don't waste alot of water if you're only going #1. The last picture is the only smart thing we put in our 45 day shipment--all the boys legos. It was like Christmas when they came and since this place we live in is so big (5 rooms) and we don't have any other stuff yet, we have an entire room for the boys to spread out all of their legos. I figured Jacob must have Jewish roots when he had the savvy to tell me, "Don't show our Grandmas that picture or they won't send us as many legos!" The Fletchers and Isaac Bradford are drooling just looking at all the lego possibilities, I'm sure! Sorry Shayla, no pink legos here!

My kids wish they could come over and play in your lego room!

It's great to see you guys and a small glimpse of your life there. You guys are troopers!

So do the legos get picked up at night, or do you just embed them in the bottoms of your feet?

coke light is NOT the same, I don't care what anyone says. And have you run into any ice over there? I didn't think so. They don't understand extra large sodas with ice in Europe. Good luck surviving that one!

It is good to see those little munchkins...Isaac is definitely jealous of your lego-room. He has been trying to acquire new sets as often as possible and he misses having your boys by his side at the train table to help him make big lego messes...Your place looks awesome by the way - super nice!

I love the legos! That's okay if they aren't pink! It looks like the boys are adjusting well! How are you doing?

I tell ya, that Jacob's got the system figured out! Oh! And thanks for showing Mason demonstration with the toilet AFTER it was flushed!
