Sunday Katie and I went on a long bike ride to outside of the city to a small town called Höchst. It's still part of Frankfurt but in total we were gone for over two hours so I think it was a pretty good ride and after we got through the stinky smelly factory areas it was quite beautiful!
I'm pretty sure Emily has the swine flu. She has had a slight fever since Friday and has been home this week so far. She got tested on Friday for Swine flu but we are still waiting on the results. Needless to say I'm pretty sure she is stuck at home this week. Maybe when Oscar was a bit sick two weeks ago he had the swine flu. Who knows. Andrea and Phillip leave Thursday evening for Istanbul and will be back on Sunday so I will have the kids this weekend. The plan was that they would both stay the night at a friends house on Saturday night so I would have 24hrs free but I don't think that will be happening with Emily sick and all. I'm healthy! I made the mistake of giving my Pakistani friend from my class my number and now he keeps texting me. He's very kind. He called last night while he was at work to see how I was doing and told me to be careful with getting sick. Oh dear.Art projects: Snow flakes, sparkly ornaments, and painting! Lots of crafts! Emily took this picture of the birds. I thought it was very well done!
Last night I went to Monday movie night and met up with one of the Americans I met there a few weeks ago. His name is AP (short for apopolis or something crazy). He has been here for two years almost through the full birth scholarship teaching English in German schools. I'll be hanging out with those teachers a bit and getting ideas from them on ways to stay here longer! :)
Emily fell asleep in my arms the other day while we were dancing to Abba. I didn't know whether I should be offended or just think it was adorable. I'll go with the second option. She is a total cuddle monkey. My new favorite cuddle buddy. She has also decided that my boobs are her pillows. Oh dear.
