On Mother’s Day, Matt and I went to Buffalo Wild Wings with his family after church, which was fun! People who know me know that I have never been a big kids person. I mean how: With no siblings, baby-neighbors or under aged-friend-siblings? I am so glad that I can experience how it is to be part of a big-7 sibling family. His 7 sibling (or 6) family. I tell you, it NEVER gets boring! His house is a big vibrating playground full of action, fun, screaming (also sometimes crying) and love. I really enjoy being around his crazy–cute siblings, playing pirates, candy cane selling, weird Playstation-Big-Lady-Mat-Dance-Games, kitchen sing-dancing and reading them the German book Clifford which they bought because they wanted me to read it to them. Sometimes, they even fight about me which makes me feel like the rope in Tauziehen hahah (incl. Matt)! How cute is that?!
Yesterday, the youngest declared me his love for the first time. One day, I might have to choose..
Back to Mother’s Day! As the name implies, I wanted to see my mom at that day, too, so we skyped after lunch. It was so funny! Matt with his Beginner German phrases about Kaesekuchen and my mom with her cute Denglish and with my Dad throwing missing vocab in – Communication worked though!
Speaking about family, may I introduce our new member: Chi Chi. He is the smallest dog-like creature I’ve ever seen! It is Jo’s daughter’s dog but he sometimes sleeps over. He is adorable! This Chiuaua-Poodle mix (weird combination, right? But hey: Diversity!) He obviously does look a lot cuter than any of those breeds. He runs & jumps around (straight is hard though) like a Flummy and really likes biting Cardigans and shoes! #Cuteness
Further, Jo’s daughter’s boyfriend David moved in with us recently, she herself does not live with us anymore due to some incidents. He seems to be a very nice, easy-going and cool guy, I’m happy to have him around. The more people, the better! (I guess).
The other weekend, we went to the Greek Fest in Camp Hill, which was very authentic and fun! They really put effort in setting up a lot of different food stands (Gyro, Souvlaki, Baklava ice cream,…), Cultural activities like Dances (also interactive!) and a bunch of vendors selling Greek souvenirs. Among those, there was a place where Matt and I snatched a MATRIX VHS – yes, VHS! As he had never seen Matrix, it was on our To do List until then. We watched it this past weekend and it was very cool #retro.
The commercial in the beginning was the best! DVD – an experience you will NEVER forget! So sharp, lively and real – you won’t believe it! #ShowingImpressedEyesWideOpenedFaces It was so funny! #GoodOldTimes
