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!:)

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
