on friday i got home from school and discovered that Petra had set out the nativity scenes. oh, that's good because you know the christmas spirit and all. so i was looking at it, kinda feeling a bit homesick, ya know thinking about how andy always sets ours out with so much care and haha, but yah, and then i realized THE BABY JESUS IS MISSING!! where IS HE?!! i dunno, but i think it looks funny. so i asked petra, i was like petra, there's something missing. where is Jesus? and she gave me the WIERDEST look ever, and goes "yah, he comes on christmas eve, you know, hence the reason we celebrate Christmas" oh the change in culture....

Then On friday night it was time, yet again, for the awesomeness of JazzKlub Minden! Of course, we went in and got seated earlier in the night as to be able to have a table (earlier means 9 30 haa) so naturally Katha and i got hungry listening to all that jazz, so we got another girl to hold our table and we slipped out across the street for some PIZZA!!!!!!!! lecker war das! We got there just in the nick of time, haha and because we probably looked like super goobs just sitting there on the wall outside the jazzklub eating pizza, naturally we had to take a few pictures ;). i LOVE jazzklub minden. of course, one can't go every friday, b/c usually the concerts are like 25 euro or so, but every third friday is open play night, and these bands ( AND LOTS OF VERY FREAKING VERY VERY good looking german guys haahaaa) go and just chill. L O V E. where is that in memphis, eh? because i'm going and taking you all with me!
Saturday was much of a drag, because i had to stay home at night and babysit Justus and Josephina. Naturally at the time i was just like o m g im going to die, and it was kinda one of those homesick days, because we went to this choir concert (yes sirree bob, i sang in yet another concert! ha) and we sang these 3 English songs as a congregation, and i was just sitting there listening to everyone in the whole church sing these English Christmas songs, and i started crying. of course not that wailing stuff, but tears peacfully rolling down my cheeks, you know- romantic? no. sad. I then went home to the kids, and peter and petra left to go to a Party thing with these random people who stayed with us Sat. night and made felt then watched Mission impossible two alone on the couch. AH.

Today, as J2 saw that i made felt yesterday, they wanted to make it too. so we made a case for Josephina's recorder, and then they made two little squares just to make them. They really enjoyed it, and it gave P2 a chance to sit with the guests without the kids and such, so that's good.

So that's the weekend. unfortunatly i'm off to babysit the nieghbor's kids tonight. hip hip hoorah... NOT.
