Run around the house 100 times

The girls today had a lot of energy. It's spring, it has finally stopped raining and well you know they are kids. I on the other hand feel really sick and tired today. Not the best combination to say the least. When I was little and my siblings and I were getting crazy, which was most of the time, my mother would tell us to go outside. If we said we didn't want to she would threaten us with chores. We spent a lot of time outside :) D and Ir can't go play outside we live in the city and they have no yard at all. It's no wonder they have so much energy, imagine being a kid and never having the chance to run around.

On a better note Alex and I had a great time together. We went to Baden Baden, Germany to the spas. They were glorious! Baden Baden is famous for its natural hot springs and the water was so relaxing I could have stayed there forever. Alex got a little bored. I love the way German sounds. It's very guttural and choppy and most people hate the way it sounds. It sort of reminds me of Chinese. Baden Baden is an hour away from Strasbourg by train and it's surrounded by the Black Forest. It was very beautiful. The countryside of Germany sort of reminded me of Iowa. Obviously not rows and rows of cornfields but it was split up into neat sections. Iowa from the air is rows and rows of square cornfields and Germany, at least this part of Germany slightly resembled that.
