Classics

For the majority of today I didn’t do very much. Both the girls were at Thomas and Sabina’s house. They are a really sweet German couple with three kids. Thomas walks with Frank on Saturdays and Sabina does paddling with Carrie. We all wanted peanut butter cookies and so our plan was to make them, pick up the girls, and then go to dinner. However upon arriving to pick Alex and Catherine up they invited us to stay for dinner. So Carrie and I went back to the house to get the cookies, which I was glad about since I looked terrible, not expecting to see anyone. Thomas’ sister was visiting from Germany and she also has two little ones also. So there were about 8 kids running around. It was a good thing there house is so big so we only saw them when they all came charging in for dinner and cookies. It was pouring outside and all of the kids were all soaking wet. They had been outside running around for hours. Good thing it is still warm when it rains here!

Thomas called their son Sebastian who is fifteen telling him he had to come home and hangout with me because they thought I was board. When he eventually didn’t come home though he said hi to all of us and went in the other room. They all joke around about being German and give each other a hard time. It was pretty fun just listening to all of them. Frank was shocked that I had never seen Casablanca before and had been planning on me watching it before I left for some time. When the topic came up of how nice the German uniforms were in that movie we decided to watch it.

Thomas kept saying I was so polite for saying I liked old movies and dinner and was having fun, but I was telling the truth! About five minutes into the movie I realized that I had seen it before. When the movie was finished they invited the girls to stay the night. They are all Alex’s friends and she barley gets to hangout with them because they are all guys so we took Catherine home with us. She was so upset and sobbed and sobbed. Not caring that she had a sleepover earlier in the week when Alex stayed home. Even when we got back to the house she was still sobbing. It was pretty sad.
