Five Friday Favorites and a diy ghost decoration

-
I figured I haven't posted enough this month so i'm ending the day with a five on Friday post. here are five things that have been happening recently:
Five Friday Favorites, A Guest Post, A DIY & more!

1) No School

That's right, school started last month and we already have our first couple of weeks off, they call it herbst farien (Fall Break). But since Pablo is using up his vacation days in December we weren't able to go on vacation. instead we've been doing things around the city.

2) DIY Ghost Decorations

Like we usually do when Avi doesn't have class we went to storytime at the library. But this time since it's close to Halloween they ladies had a craft prepared for the kids (and adults) to do in between the two books they read. I'm sharing the material list and steps with you:
DIY Ghost Decorations

Materials:
Aluminum foil sheets
Tissues/Napkins
String
Permanent Marker.

Directions:
1. Start with the ghost's head, by making a ball with an aluminum foil sheet.
2. Place the ball in the center of an opened-out napkin (or tissue), and then close your hand tightly around the "head".
3. Tie a piece of string around the napkin/tissue under the "head."
4. Draw some eyes and a mouth with a permanent marker

3) A New Moms group

Well it's technically not "new" I created a version of the HMM Group for us living in this part of the city.  We got together for the first time yesterday. it was a lot of fun, but poor Avi kept following all the little kids saying "if you're finished, put it away" after a while she started letting them play more freely. #LikeItShouldBe.

4) Clothes Swap

A group of moms got together for a clothes swap, I might be posting about it, it was fun and a nice way to get rid of  clothes we no longer need, whatever wasn't taken was donated to the refugees.  It was fun and we're planing on doing a toy swap in November, good for the holidays around the corner.

5) Guest Post

Curiosities discovered while living in Germany.
If you didn't know, back in April I participated in the A to Z Challenge, talking mainly about what it's like living in Germany. Well, today I'm guest posting over at Michelle's blog and I touched up on the subject, talking about 4 Curiosities I've discovered (while living in Germany).

 What’s the highlight of the week for you?

     Hi Everyone! it's been a while since i posted anything to my blog, and i opened blogger today and found a couple of drafts, this one I had done as a guest post on a friends blog and figured I'd post it here to! Have you been following along on instagram? I post on my stories almost daily and it's so much fun for me!    List the top 5 cities you've visited and why. I've already done a post on this, 5 Places I'd like to revisit go check it out and tell me if we have any cities in common! What do you like doing in your spare time? I enjoy spending time on the computer and watching stuff on Netflix. when I have time I like challenging myself to do puzzles. What are you reading? I just finished reading Accidental Tourist and am currently reading The Girl on the Train. What is your favorite food to cook? My all time favorite recipe is Enchiladas Suizas , but sometimes I settle for Chilaquiles (as tortillas de Maíz/corn tortillas) aren't found...

I read Rachel's post: liveblogging  a 12 hour flight to Bangkok and loved it.. granted not every flight is a good one but I figured I'd give this a go and try doing a similar post. I decided to record happenings on my most recent flight, even thought it was less than eight hours it seemed to go okayish and so i'm sharing it with you today. Here's how my flight went down: Before the flight, we were kind of worried about not having any in-flight entertainment since we booked our transatlantic flight with eurowings. 13:03 Board the plane. We get happy the plane does have in flight entertainment. We also noticed that every seat has a water bottle. Sadly only the ones with extra leg room get a blanket/pillow. 13:17  Find out the in flight entertainment requires a 9,99€ payment. 13:44  Time for the safety procedure demo. 13:53  Prepare for take off, then eventually take off. 13:56  Kid behind me says: "guck mal da unten die kleinen Autos." ...

I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I felt like I needed some time off. Lately I haven't had much free time, yet I haven't done much. Allow me to take you back and tell you what happened these past few months.. In July we took a trip to attend a conference in Boston and then stayed an extra week to visit the big apple. I loved getting to revisit this city and got to knock a lot of items of my NYC bucket list. Once we got back from our trip, Avi went back to her last week of school, and my cousin came to visit.. but I kinda screwed up and Avi ended up missing the last day of school (we took a day trip to Berlin instead). We had all of August free, and we took advantage of this (and a wedding in our hometown) and went to visit our family in Mexico. We had a packed two weeks in Mexico, during which we were able to catch up with a lot of friends, visit the BBVA Stadium and  Avi took an intensive swim course, she was able to get the basic done, but she...
