It's the middle of the week and I thought I'd update you guys with happenings in our lives. There are so many random things I thought I'd combine them into one post. Nice Weather I finally have some sun and with it comes some hot weather, which in an a/c less world is not that cool! haha. At the moment I am definitely not complaining, Avi spent yesterday and today playing in the garden with our neighbor, Rosa, and they took advantage of the weather and turned the sprinkler on-at least they get refreshed!  Mall time We stopped by the mall today after I picked Avi up from kita, they have a little "get prepared to go to the beach" corner and Avi enjoyed her time there. Sometimes she cooperates and has a good time at the mall other times we just spend a half hour at their coin machines. #TrendyTuesday I am still doing the 30x30 challenge I just did not get to upload yesterdays #TrendyTuesday post since I don't have the pictures of the weeks...

so on Dec 19th I applied to test a Garnier BB Cream, and I received this email:  Hallo Diana, vielen Dank für Ihre Produkt-Bestellung für den Produkttest "Garnier  BB  Cream". Wir prüfen in den nächsten Tagen, ob die von Ihnen bestellte Produktvariante noch verfügbar ist und melden uns mit einer Bestätigung oder Absage per E-Mail bei Ihnen zurück. Liebe Grüße, Ihr Entdecke Garnier Team which basically says we will check if we have anymore of the products and either confirm or reject your product order. & then on Jan. 9th I received confirmation that I would be receiving my product for testing purposes.  I was to review this product and by doing so would receive a small thank you "Garnier BB Cream Eye Roll-On" but stupid me forgot to do the review online until it was past the deadline so I  didn't  receive the eye roll on. :/ vielleicht nächstes mal. Mein Fazit: erstmal ich muss sagen, Sie lässt sich leicht und ohne...

So, I've been here for 5 months 10 days approx and I still only know very little German, I know around 100 words but with those I cant make out a real conversation.. I know how to say stuff but if i get a response I cant respond back.. :/ so we borrowed some kinder bücher  from our landlords so I can read them with Avi and learn more! :)  Source The one I was reading yesterday was “Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt [the very hungry Caterpillar]” and when I read it the first time Pablo said he only half understood me.. which means.. I totally didn't read it correctly :/.. so today, I found a video of the book in german . I will be listening to it and read along and learn the pronunciation..  so far I think it's going good..  Here it is: Die kleine Raupe Nimmersatt Von Eric Carle The Very Hungry Caterpillar Nachts, im Mondschein, lag auf einem Blatt ein kleines Ei. In the light of the moon a little egg lay on a leaf....
