The Angry Hostage

A few weeks ago we were over at Katie's parents' house and Katie decided to "birdnap" an Angry Bird that her 14-year old brother Christian got as a present.
At first, I didn't get it, but after Katie sent this text to her Brother, it was game on!
Vor ein paar Wochen waren wir bei Katie's Eltern und Katie beschloss, den Angry Bird von ihrem 14-jährigen Bruder Christian zu kidnappen.
 Anfangs habe ich nicht den Sinn dahinter verstanden, aber nachdem Katie diese SMS zu ihrem Bruder schickte, ging das Spiel los!

It turned into a serious hostage situation and we just HAD to take it to the next level the following day... 


Es entwickelte sich in eine ernste Geiselnahme, und wir mussten es am naechsten Tag einfach aufs naechste Level fuehren...



How could we top ourselves each day? We were plotting and scheming for the perfect torture :) so naturally we fed him to our dog, Zuma! And this is when we came up with our alter-ego's "Pigs in Helmets" and if you've played Angry Birds before, you know what I mean.


Wie wuerden wir uns jeden Tag toppen koennen? Wir schmiedeten Pläne und Intrigen für die perfekte Folter:) und so fütterten wir ihn an unseren Hund, Zuma! Wir gaben uns den Spitznamen "Pigs in Helmets" und wenn ihr schonmal Angry Birds gespielt habt, dann wisst ihr, was ich meine.
Zuma thought he was in for a treat and excited to play with his new friend.


Zuma freute sich, mit seinem neuen Freund zu spielen.




          Day 3: Campfire and Bird, he did get toasty!
           Tag 3: Lagerfeuer und Vogel, er wurde ein bisschen warm!


The grand finale! Bye Bye Birdie
Das große Finale! Bye Bye Birdie


In the end, the pigs in helmets got what they deserved, the Angry Bird was back home and we had some delicious "pigs in helmets" for christmas dinner! 


Am Ende bekamen die "Pigs", was sie verdienten, Angry Bird war wieder zuhause und wir hatten ein paar leckere "Pigs in Helmets" zum Weihnachtsessen!

Christian apparently got the hint that we really needed an angry bird as well and gave us one for Christmas!

Christian dachte anscheinend, dass wir auch einen Angry Bird brauchten und schenkte uns einen zu Weihnachten!



And Zuma was happy too!

Und Zuma war auch glücklich!

Oh the fun you can have when you put yourself on house arrest for two weeks! :)


Oh ja, wieivel Spass man doch haben kann, wenn man sich selbst fuer zwei Wochen unter Hausarrest setzt!:)

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
