This boat came from the Bracks. It was broken and leaked, so we decided to take the sand out of it, and pull it to the curb for garbage day. Mommy says we won't be keeping broken stuff around anymore or else she'll go crazy. For one reason I only have one shoe on...I can't remember why.

Bathtime is fascinating from this side.

Playtime with Ellie and Niko!

Ellie and Benjamin (both 3) with Niko and Sonja (11 and 10 months).

Sharing is important...

What are those kids up to?

The boys in the cart, the girls walking...typical!
Freezies.

Picky eater Sonja (10 months)

I don't know what this stuff is but it's kinda fun to play with it...
...and to throw it on the floor...
...and to eat it. Well, that part doesn't taste too good.
Then there is this sour thing...
...not sure if I can continue with this mess.

Bike trailer - Velo Anhänger

Nur so kann ich Rusty spazieren führen, wenn beide Kinder dabei sind. Denn dieser Veloanhänger kann man wie ein Kinderwagen schieben.

Using the bike trailer as a stroller helps to walk Rusty when both kids are home.

Hier wars das erste Mal, dass beide im Veloanhänger sassen. Beide waren todmüde, und es war schrecklich heiss.

Hier is the first time we tried it out...and the kids are exhausted and it was terribly hot.

Beim nächsten mal gings schon ein bischen besser. Zwar musste Benjamin hantieren und kompliziert tun, und die Sonja wurde langsam ungeduldig, aber schlussendlich gings dann trozdem los.

The second time we tried it out, things were a bit better. Although Benjamin was fidding around too long with the cover, and Sonja was getting anxious to get going...finally, we were on our way.
