We've been pretty busy this week getting things done around the house and catching up on lost time. Derrick has been working only until lunch this week so we've had a nice balance. On Wednesday we took the girls to Etnaland, which is a large waterpark near here. It is suprisingly nice with lots of stuff to do! It's very expensive though~ 20 euro for an adult which is a bit steep with the euro at an all time low these days. The girls enjoyed a big lazy river ride on our laps and a baby pool complete with slides and water canons. I didn't want to have my camera stolen at the park so I didn't bring it. The only downside was the food. We are pretty sick of rice balls and stale pizza at the bars but there doesn't seem to be much alternative. I highly recommend going though for a fun day and something different! 
After dinner we like to take a stroll around the neighborhood with the dogs and stop at the park. Often Valerie flies her kite and Kilah loves to chase it. This park is about 4 doors down from our home. 
Ellie is our daredevil. She tries to jump off the high platforms at the park and just this morning jumped off the dining room chair and landed on her face. She is certainly D's child.
Yesterday we had the girls go to the CDC so that we could run some errands and have a lunch date. Of course we ate at Applebee's but it was sure nice to eat a meal together without the kiddos. Later we were on a trek to find Ellie some shoes. The poor kid has two pairs of shoes as our options here are so slim and she lost one of them at the water park. We walked through the entire mall and the only four pairs of shoes we found that were her size were.. get this.. 39 euro. Yeah right. I don't spend $60 on shoes for myself most of the time let alone for a kid who will outgrow them in a couple months! Looks like target.com will be getting a large order from me soon. ;)

After Ellie goes to bed she puts her princess dress on over her pj's and brings her princess wand, her princess Belle doll, and gets a big bowl of popcorn. She insisted on sitting by Daddy and even had him changing Belle's outfit. I believe I heard a few choice words as he was trying to figure out how to get the dolls tights on.. but it just made me love him even more for putting up with it. :)
We are off to take the girls to see Wall-E at the movies soon ~ I had better go pack Ellie's diaper bag! Ciao for now!
