The girls have been playing Dixit a lot. It is such a beautiful game.
Die Mädchen spielen im Moment viel Dixit, was ein sehr hübsches Spiel ist.
Today, Miriam got a college physical and Veronika had her annual check-up. Flora got a haircut. After their return, Flora tried to open the window in her room because it was so hot and humid and the pane simply shattered. She cut her finger and got a big shock, but everything seems to be fine now and we cleaned and bandaged her finger well.
Miriam hatte heute eine Untersuchung fürs College (das muß man hier in den USA machen) und Veronika hatte ihre reguläre Vorsorgeuntersuchung. Flora war beim Friseur. Als sie nachmittags wieder zu Hause waren, wollte Flora das Fenster in ihrem Zimmer aufmachen, weil es so heiß und stickig war, aber dabei ist es einfach kaputt gegangen. Sie hat sich den Finger aufgeschnitten und einen großen Schock bekommen, aber jetzt ist alles wieder gut und der Finger ist verbunden.
Our new evening book is Mary Poppins (paid link). I have never used it as a read-aloud and thought I should give it a try. It is a bit strange, though.
Unser neues Vorlesebuch am Abend ist Mary Poppins. Ich habe es noch nie vorgelesen und gedacht, wir sollten das wirklich mal tun. Es ist ein wenig eigenartig, aber auch lustig.
How scary about the window. I hope her finger is alright.
ReplyDeleteWe enjoyed all the Mary Poppins' books! They can be a little strange, but also delightful and whimsical.
Yes, I just heard the breaking glass and the screams down here! It was quite terrifying. And then there was blood all over, but we all kept calm. The finger looks remarkably well. Today, we used just a band-aid and did not wrap it so much anymore. Now we have to find a new window, which is quite an undertaking around here . . .
DeleteI do actually like the book more than some other British children's books. I did not care for "Alice in Wonderland" and also not for "Peter Pan."
