P's b-day

The last days, couple of exciting things happened. P celebrated his b-day, after being gone for a week. The kids were very excited to pick him up at the airport. It took him one and a half hour to come through the customs, but the excitement was not less. F was waiting the whole time at the sliding doors, jumping around, but she got a little shy when she saw her father, while A realized we were there to pick up daddy and gave him a big hug. It was nice to see. At home, we gave P his presents and ate cake.

After that, we arranged the car insurance which was very important. P bought Cinderella for F and A, so they started watching it. Surprisingly (!) P fell asleep on the couch with two kids on his lap. F kept on talking to him, asking questions about the film. It didn't matter that she didn't get any answers. Next time when she keeps on asking endless questions, I won't bother giving answers either. Looks like she is OK with that.

Next morning, we went to the other Montessori school we wanted to see. We liked it a lot. It was small and looked very peaceful. We left there with a good feeling. Afterwards, we went to have a cup of coffee with Martha who is our relocation counselor and baby sitter for the school appointment - kids were not allowed to this first appointment. Martha told us that F was saying a lot of stuff in English when they were together. She told her 'speak English', named colors and she was counting. It is amazing!

At the Starbucks F and A both managed to spill their hot chocolate on their new shirts. They got really bored there, started running around, and picking up all the napkins and straws. Just before we got kick out of Starbucks, we left it voluntarily. We said goodbye to Martha and left for the car dealer. After hours of paper work and free ice creams for the whole family, we became owners of not one, but two cars. We drow home happily in our new family car and P went to pick up his car today. Well, I should day his toy, because it is a 'fun' car, an old, used sports car. It looks really cool! Today, we are totally mobile!
