Fun Autumn Walk with Lots of Mushrooms

On Sunday afternoon, we went for a walk in the Odenwald, we were lucky to spot a lot of different mushrooms.

Really cool looking roots

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 This is the sign with the different walks, Logan insisted on posing in front of it :)

 

Couldn't Resist! <3

Logan asked us for a baby picture of himself to bring to Kindergarten, as part of something they're doing in the "Vorschule" group, here it is, Logan aged 5 1/2 months

Parcels for Eastern European Kids

Every year, we take part in this "Kinder helfen Kinder" initiative. We prepare two parcels (one from each boy) to be sent to a different country each year to disadvantaged kids. They contain toiletry, toys, hat/scarf/mitten, pencils, etc...

We always involve the boys in this. Here they are posing with the parcels before they get brought to the collection point

OK, they appear for about 5 seconds, but still...

Here's the link:

You need to click on the right handside on a link that says "Video Länderspiegel von 31. Oktober 2009"

They both appear at 1min 53s and then again at 4mins 25s. Connor just stares at the camera! LOL

For those who don't understand, it's about the increase in "Kindergeld" (children money, that the states gives to everybody who has a child), which will happen in January, together with the implications... Our town is considered very child-friendly and they filmed in the boys' school and interviewed the mayor.
