Guten Morgen, Ihr feine Cappuccinisti der ganzen Welt!
Today is day no. 4 of Miss Statalina's vacation with Papa.
After massive swimming on Friday and even more massive swimming yesterday and a trip to Odysseum on Saturday, and seeing as we are off to Phantasialand tomorrow (woo hoo), little Miss Statalina, who literally begged to be put in her bed at 10 last evening,
asked to have 1/2 Chill-Day today. "Papa, you are wearing me out!"
LOL. And here I thought she was wearing me out. So, she slept until 10 this morning - 12 hours of restful sleep, and I'm doing mundane stuff like cleaning and clothes. Our day will start at about 3 pm today, either with a bike tour or lots of scootering and then we need to do some shopping. There is an outstanding fruit and vegetable stand really close to my house and I believe very much in buying locally, if the quality is good, and the quality of this produce is produce is just outstanding.
I bought 3 chocolate bars for vacation. Today is day number 4, and Miss Statalina has not yet asked for chocolate. However, I have never seen a kid put away as much watermelon and nectarine as this kid can. She also sprouted about 2 CM in the last month and is very lean again. Right before she sprouts, she gets a little belly and then, all of a sudden, she is taller and thinner.
So, this has given me a little time to USMB, which I enjoy. We are eating a homemade vegetable soup for lunch in about 45 minutes. And I've taught her that a hot tea on a hot day can actually help keep her body cool, so she is drinking peppermint tea right now while catching an episode of "Ninjago". Apparently, "Scooby Doo" is out for this summer, she's seen it enough. LOL.
There is an awesome nature reservat not far from here and bikes are allowed on the trails, so we will probably end up there.
Oh, and her one parakeet sat on her shoulder this morning.
She was thrilled, until he then pooped on her shoulder.
You all have a good Monday.
