So we are busily prepping the house for the home exchange. Ohhhhh, now I get why people stay in hotels. Getting our house ready has been the biggest challenge of this adventure. Purge, organize, dump, stuff in a drawer.
It is down to the wire now, as we only have 5 more days until we leave for Germany. Aaaaaakkkk! Oh well. The house can only be so ready.
Casey and I carved out some time today to make going away goody bags for her kindergarten class. She is feeling a bit nervous about leaving her school and wanted to share a treat with her friends from school. In the bags are a blow up globe, balloons with the German flag colors (red, black and yellow), and gummy treats made in Germany. Okay, until I looked t the label and it said Ireland and something about the UK. Huh? Well, the writing on the bag is in German, so that counts, right? We out a notice in them about following our blog and tied a goodbye greeting onto each bag...Auf Wiedersehen (formal goodbye), Tschüss (goodbye) and Bis später (see you later).
What a cute idea. I can't believe you leave this week. OMG...how exciting and scary all at the same time. Have a wonderful time and enjoy this special family journey. I will look forward to reading the blog and catching up via FB and email. Have a safe, fun, and educational experience in Germany and the UK.
