Then it was time for the gingerbread children to practice. Both, Veronika and Miriam, are gingerbread children. While they were practicing, Flora and I went to the bookstore. They had a great book catalog about the latest children's books.
Dann mußten noch die Lekuchenkinder üben. Veronika und Miriam tanzen dieses Jahr wieder dabei mit. Während sie geübt haben, waren Flora und ich im Buchladen. Dort hatten sie einen Prospekt mit den neusten Kinderbüchern.

At home, Jonathan and Charlotte had made a delicious lunch: butternut squash, turkey sausages, and mixed vegetables.
Wieder zu Hause wartete ein leckeres Mittagessen auf uns, das Jonathan und Charlotte gekocht hatten: Birnenkürbis, Putenwürstchen und buntes Gemüse.
Jonathan and Charlotte did some bird watching in the afternoon. There was an eagle right over our house.

Rehearsal time!!! Busy, busy Nutcracker days! I'm amazed at how much I still love this ballet after listening to the music over and over and taking children to rehearsal over and over . . :) It's beautiful and timeless :)
ReplyDeleteCharlotte and Jonathan's lunch looks very good!
Veronika likes to listen to the music all the time :). Peter complains when she does it too much in the car. He likes music, though :).
DeleteThe lunch was good and I was so happy they managed to make it while I was gone.
