A better day

The kids played really well together this morning. It was wonderful as compared to yesterday(not so good). I love to hear them laughing and singing together as they build Lego for hours. It reminds me of the many long lazy hours I spent with my brother and sisters. I think one of the greatest gifts I could give them is siblings. I'm so glad they are close!
Nicole, Philip and Thomas rode horses today. I put some of the photos Nicole took on my adoption blog. Sarah had a great time riding her little tricycle. I found it in the sperrmüll. That's the trash people leave on the streets here in Germany. It's a cute little tricycle. It has a monkey on the front of it. I'll have to take some pictures of it. I'm so glad its the weekend. I hope to drag Jessica out of her room this weekend. She seems so content to just eat, sleep and watch videos. We need to take her swimming and maybe shopping. She is a typical teenage girl...she loves to shop!

You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

The Opel Agilia

I think I don't want to spend the money for the VW New Beetle. It's a very cute and safe car, but cost about 17,000Euros new. I can find it for 13,000Euros (this is the most basic model) but that's more then I would want to spend. I don't really drive that much. I'm pretty cheep at heart. I need real value for my money. I keep thinking we really should take advantage of the money Germany is offering to trade old cars in for 2500Euros towards a new car. If I buy a car that's around 10,000 Euros, then the Government is actually going to pay 25% of the cost of that car. That's really a very good deal. Since I know I will need a new car in the near future, I feel I should get a new 10,000 Euro car. The Opel Agilia is around 9,900 Euros. It's got 5 doors, and room for 5. It is pretty safe, and comes with a 6 year warranty. I would not call it my dream car, but I could easily afford it. I'm trying to be wise here. There are other cars in thi
