She does sing the whole thing sometimes... but the camera is a major distraction and shortens her attention span to about 15 seconds!

Miramar
Yesterday we went to an indoor waterpark called Miramar with our friends the Bentons to celebrate Jack's first birthday. :) We had a great time!
Because the Germans didn't have a holiday, the place was really not busy at all. They had lots of fun things to do there- like a wave pool and water slides. They also had hot tubs, an indoor/outdoor hot pool-- which was really neat with the snow coming down, places for yoga and tanning, and a restaurant. They have other stuff too... but you get the gist. ;)
It was different from US places in other ways too, for example: Europeans are, um, more comfortable with their bodies, there were extremely few lifeguards to be found, and no one tells you when it is safe to go down the waterslides (which did lead to a little collision incident for Rob.)
Thank you Bentons for inviting us!

Hanging out at the wave pool. We don't currently have a swimsuit that fits Charlotte, so she just wore a swim diaper and t-shirt.

weekend update
Just a few pictures of the kids doing some of their favorite things...
Toby likes being close to me (he'd rather I hold him all day, but that isn't an option.) He sits on the counter in his Bumbo seat when I do dishes and cook dinner.
I don't know who invented "paint with water," but Charlotte got a Care Bears book for Christmas and it is a fabulous (low mess) activity for her right now.

Charlotte and Sam enjoying some dinner together. You'd never know from this photo that they only settled down enough to eat after 2 or more hours playing and arguing with each other.
By the way, Charlotte's nursery teacher at church told me this past week, "she's one of those kids who thinks she's the general manager of the universe."
Yup, pretty much.
