Nikolaus




The other day Julia had Nikolaus over in her Kindergarten. They were very careful with this topic becaus St. Nikolaus used to come with Krampus - not anymore - he´s tooooo scary.
So they told the kids that Nikolaus came to the Kindergarten and dropped off many little packets, but than he was too tired that he went to the gym (a room in the kindergarten were the kids are playing and doing some sport) to take a nap. So the kids went there and heared Nikolaus snoring. First they saw his big, black shoes, than his big belly and finally his white beard. Slowly he woke up and the kids could go to him and get their own little packet. They really tried not to scar any child and were very carefully.
So they all went up to this man to receive their little gift one by one - as our little Julia ment very bold through across the room: "ich nicht!" "not me!".
BUT to complete the story with a happy end: after seeing 40 kids getting their packet and nothing happened she went there with her kindergartener on her side and received hers too!

When kids want to help you:

the other day I was cooking when Laura came up and asked me to help me. I told her that the only thing she could do is cutting onions - but at the same time I told her that might be toooo hard for her. She went upstairs and came back - prepared to help me:

warm welcome


I was just gone for 5 days, but I was very touched by this warm welcome at the airport ( it said: mum is back - hoory - terrific)!
It´s nice to have a short time without the kids, but it´s even nicer to come back!

CHRISTOPH just loooooves his dinos -

Can you see how he made them sleeping?


I need to share another sweet thing about our only boy: the other day he came home from the swimming bath - as I was about to great him he immediately said: " mum I have something for you!" and pulled out the stick from his popsicle. "For you hair!" (I use to put up my hair and fix it with a pen or whatever I get). I thought that it was soooo sweet from him to think about this, especially as a boy!

Taking care of mum

The other day I felt very sick - another migraine attack was about to come. Nik came home late - so I told the kids my pain. We came home and I went upstairs to rest - after a while they also came with a big smile and these things:




a big bowl - because I felt like throwing up; a cup of water; a wet washcloth for my head to lay on,......

YES, I feel love - these are the nice moments with kids!

Things happening very quiet:




Lately my dad/granddad Teml gave my kids little things like these 2 animals. Then my mum told me that my dad always went to McDonalds and ate the Kids Menue to get the goodies and to colect them for his grandchilden! A nice thought which is worth to be reminded on this blog - don´t you think so too?!

In letzter Zeit haben die Kinder von meinem Vater/Opa Teml immer so kleine Spielzeuge wie diese 2 Kuscheltiere bekommen. Meine Mutter erzählte mir dann, daß Opa immer zum McDonald ging und dort das Kids Menue bestellte wegen dem Spielzeug und diese für seine Enkelkinder sammelte! Dies ist so ein netter Gedanke, der es Wert ist, hier auf dem Blog verewigt zu werden - nicht war?!

In the morning as we were getting ready for the day Christoph came up to me and ment:"Mum - I don´t want to go to kindergarden today - I want to take a day off!"

Christoph eröffnete mir heute in der Früh, als wir uns für den Tag fertig machten: "Mama ich will heute nicht in den Kindergarten - ich will mir heute frei nehmen!"
