Mixed success at the circus

Took Talia and Davina to the Arlette Gruss circus again this year. Made the mistake of first taking them to the pool, which I think tired out Davina and she was very wiggly during the whole thing. "I'm hungry! I'm tired! Can we go?" She was not at her best.

Of course, Talia loved it and watched transfixed. I got them cotton candy and popcorn (they only had that dire sweet kind-yuk!) at intermission, along with some overpriced drinks.

Talia went to Kenza's birthday party on Sunday. Her first time bowling. They have a little mini-alley for children that can be rented for birthdays. Now Ronnie wants to try. I thought that would be a good task for his father (bowling rates just above mini-golf in my book of Games to Avoid). I'm really not a big fan of games in general...

Ronnie had a birthday party too, same day, different hour so most of Sunday was spent shuttling them to and from.

Otherwise, nothing special going on. The weather keeps changing and today is another strike (which only meant I couldn't swim since it's a public pool). Luckily, the teachers were all there.

I'm going with Davina's class to the Karlsruhe zoo on Thursday. Please don't ask me why they had to go to a zoo so far. I volunteer since so many parents work. Oddly, they do actually have a lot coming (some take the day off) but they urged me to go too, anyway. I'm kind of dreading it (preschool teaching-I definitely did not miss my calling!) but will make the effort, and it will be an effort on my part!
