Good morning, all. Very cold this morning--20 F when I left home--but fortunately not very windy.
Happy Shrove Tuesday/Mardi Gras/Fastnacht everyone!
Sadly
Fastnacht (we say
Fasching) took place without us today. I don't like Fasching for myself, but traditionally we go to the parade on Sunday and to the
Kinderfasching on Tuesday.
Kinderfasching is a big and loud party for the kids with music and fun games in the gym. The kids wear their costumes and run around like crazy while we adults sit in the back, chat and drink coffee (as you easily see we're not Texans
).
Today my poor baby was sick though. Nothing serious thankfully, just some kind of bug. He had been looking forward to this day for weeks, planned exactly what costume to wear, and was just so excited about it. He cried when I told him that we can't go. Aww, my poor baby, I felt so badly for him.
