Halloween Party 2005

Yesterday, we went to the American Women's Club Halloween Party and it was great fun - especially for the kids. There were crafts and games and lots of little prizes to win! Connor loved fishing for pumpkins and did it about 12 times! He really got quite good at it in the end!

Martha, her mom (pictured below), Diego, Chiara and Finley came too. Raymond showed up with Laura and Claire, Melissa's daughters and Karen brought Connor. Tobias went to a birthday party in Germany and had a great time on his own!

Again, Cards and Candles had a stand at the event!

Tie Dying

One day during the recent school vacation, we got together with all our children and spent the day tie-dying T-shirts! It was my first time and I couldn't believe how EASY it was! The kids had great fun and every shirt came out different....lots of fun for all of us!

Shopping in Germany

Melissa and I and all four kids spent a day last week shopping in Germany. It was fabulous weather and lots of fun! I can't wait to go back for more!

Catching Up

Just wanted to catch you up on all that's going on here.

• The weather has been outstanding these past few days, as you can see in the picture of Basel's Town Hall above. Blue, cloudless skies and warm T-shirt weather. Fab!
• The boys are on Fall Holiday from school and we are enjoying sleeping late (whatever that means) and lazy days at the park. Today we met Melissa for a picnic at the park and this afternoon, we did a little shopping in the "city" of Basel (these pictures were NOT taken by me!).
• Another little bit of news is that we are looking for a room to rent for Cards and Candles. We hope to have a place to hold our monthly scrapbooking sessions and a small storefront for sales.
