Last week of Holidays

I am so far behind in my blogging but will try and catch it all up soon.
The last week of the school holidays was relaxing and fun. On the Wednesday, I went off to an appointment with the "Fussflegerin". I have never been a person who has facials, manicures or pedicures but since we have been here, I have had a problem nail on my big toe. I decided that I would try this Fussflegerin out and see what gives.
Well, it was so nice to sit back in a "dentist chair" while she worked away on my feet. At the end of it my toenails looked so healthy and my feet felt very smooth. So this will definitely take place again. It literally cost me a euro per minute, so will not be doing it often but need to get this toenail sorted out. She reckons that by this time next year, my nail will be back to normal.
That afternoon, I had promised to take Robert and Lara to see The Simpsons at the movie house. So we all went off, including Stevie, who had seen it the previous week. The movie was great and easy to follow in German.
Then on the Thursday, I took the kids to Halligalli, as the weather was miserable and I wanted them away from tv and playstation games.
Marcelle joined me for most of the afternoon. It was nice to sit and chat away while the kids were having a ball.
On Saturday, both boys slept out. Steven joined his football club who were having a sleep out in tents etc. at the football club. Robert had been invited to Vanessa's birthday party which was also a sleep over in tents in their garden. He was the only boy there so had quite a good time.
Sunday was spent relaxing and making sure that the boys had all their school bags ready for school the next morning.
