No one can make S laugh like T can. Unfortunately, we've only gotten it on video once (when I find it, I'll post it). This video is the most recent one we've taken. S, who will stop and smile for the camera now, somehow knows the difference between our taking a simple picture and taking video. Whatever cute, hilarious, or impressive thing she's doing stops immediately when she is being videotaped. Granted, cute, hilarious, and impressive is totally subjective and probably only impresses us, but still...
Wednesday night, we all bundled up and went for a short walk to see if there was a movie we wanted to rent. When we got down to the bottom of the stairs, there was a dead mouse on the floor in front of the stairs. This is the third dead mouse I've found in less than two weeks. Given that we've never seen mouse droppings, much less a mouse inside, I was a bit puzzled. But then it hit me - there's a cat that's been hanging around out building. We've seen it on the stairs and someone in the stairwell put out some food for it last weekend. This cat belonged to someone, because it's dashed into out apartment before, not realizing that the little munchkins that live here are the cat equivalent of terrorists. They aren't intentionally mean, but for the kids, the lure of that swishing tail attached to movable feet is the equivalent to the lure of Elvis and fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches. Uhhhhuhhhh - huh.
Anyway, T bends over and puts his nose about one inch away from the mouse -- which, can I just say it--what is UP with the people in this building? I know that at least three people stepped over that mouse on their way to their apartment. So, T is looking at the mouse saying, "Mouse, asleep?" And we say yes, the mouse is asleep, so I end up picking up the mouse (I was wearing gloves) and taking it back to 'bed' which just happened to be under a tree in a pile of leaves behind the trash building. I figured it would go well with all the dog poop the slackers in apartment 2 leave back there apparently thinking that if it's behind a building then it won't smell or be visible.
Anyway, the following pictures we took today at a Christmas market in Dudeldorf. As Christmas markets go in Germany, this one was tiny, but it was really neat to walk around and see all the handmade crafts for sale. We are probably heading to the Christmas markets in Trier and Bitburg this weekend too, so I'm sure we'll have more pictures soon.
