Working Saturday

Today was a working Saturday.  Dan headed off to the office early and I warned the kids at breakfast that they had to pitch in today get the house ready for Grandpa & Grandma Machiela.  So shortly after breakfast we started.
Micah sorting laundry

I have started sorting our belongings.  (Yes, I do love organizing.)   Unfortunately, the pile on the left is the one going home - hopefully with Dan's family.  

We see Germans airing their bedding outside their homes.  My modified version of this is hanging our comforters over the railing when I am washing the covers.  

Sophia opted to sharpen pencil crayons and then did my ironing.    



Gabe has started to draw.  It's so much fun to see him growing up.
Dan & I love this Joghurt with Müsli.  Our favorite flavors are  Rhabarber - Himbeere and Brombeer-Vanille-Geschmack.   

Recycled products get used a lot in our house.  Gabe asked me if we could drink more beer so that he could get a helmet tomorrow.  

Yeah!  We are now ready for our visitors to arrive on Tuesday!  The kids are super excited to see their Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt Kris and Uncle Randy.  As a reward for working hard the kids got to play video games while Dan & I went for a nice walk.
