Goethe Guesthouse

I've failed to post any photos of our current residence. It's not terribly interesting, but both grandmas have asked for descriptions. We're at the Goethe Guesthouse which is dorm-style. We have two single beds and a travel cot for Caleb. Sleeping arrangements change regularly. The boys sometimes prefer the beds and other times want to make a pallet. We're on the 3rd floor (4th in US standards - There's always a 0 or ground floor here). The kitchen is on the next floor down, but we do have 2 small fridges in the room. Above is Noah trying to nap. Caleb slept for a little while and woke up about the time Noah fell asleep. Caleb thought it was time for everyone to be awake.

Cooper is a pallet-making pro. He folds the top of his comforter to make a pillow, and then folds the comforter in half for cushion. Sadly, he lost the little blue bottle in the bottom left of the picture after only a day. He's not happy about using other cups.

We are very thankful for Louise who brought us some extra sheets and blankets last night. She also dropped off groceries and some cleaning supplies a few days earlier. Noah was sick the day after Louise brought the cleaning products, and I was very grateful for disinfectant.

Now, we'll move on to more exciting things. There are several great playgrounds nearby. I'll end with some pictures of the boys at the playground nearest the Guesthouse. I didn't have my camera on our other outings.

Cooper digs a ditch.

Caleb plays in the mud and water. He always manages to get filthy.

I took the boys back to the playground this morning. We stuck to the sand and playground equipment today. No mud for Caleb Reid.

Caleb kept peeking through those slats at another little boy.

Cooper worked very hard this morning to bake several apple dirt pies.
