3 Days.......

On Saturday we went to the Christmas Market in Rothenburg o.d. Tauber. We managed to get a bit of shopping done but really we just soaked up the atmosphere and avoided the kiddie rides. Alex loves the merry-go-round...too much..he never wants to get off of it.

Sunday found us getting ready and hauling arse to Wurzburg to see the 3 o'clock showing of Harry Potter. We made it in time to eat Taco Bell and get good seats in the 6th row center....but these turned out to be awful seats...It seems as if Alex has a bladder the size of a grain of rice....5 times in 2 1/2 hours..poor Chris saw more of the bathroom than he did the movie. Before anyone says anything...there were way fewer people to step over down his way and it was just easier for him. I'm still scratching my head as to the whereabouts of Alex's bladder.....

Today found me on the never ending quest for a proper white shirt. For some reason Gabe has to wear black pants and a white shirt for his Christmas program (on Thursday) and we just found out last week about this dress code....I swear there is not a single boys pair of black pants or even a plain white shirt in Southern Germany. If I had more time I would just order these things, but I talked to the teacher today and black jeans are fine..but I was still in need of a shirt. After walking all over Bad Windsheim I ended up at a strange clothing store located in one of the grocery stores ..and there I still couldn't find a white shirt in kids size. I ended up buying a size small mens sweater...it almost fits. The sleeves are too long but they don't look strange rolled up and the bottom is easily folded under and tucked in......I'll post pictures on Friday.....

Chris has a CTscan on his kidneys tomorrow...it's no big deal..they just want proof that he doesn't have kidney stones (he takes a medication that is known to cause them) so that he can turn in his flight psysical for approval. Phew, this process is almost over.....then we just have to wait....ugh!
