Fasching / Carnival

It's "Fasching" season again. Also known in other parts of the world as Carnival. Munich isn't the best place in Germany to celebrate (Cologne is more reknown for it's parties) but it does make a valient effort.

For me Fasching ranks right up there with Hallowe'en - wouldn't miss it if it were gone. But once you have kids you kind of have to jump on the band wagen. So Lucas has been to several parties with his friends (lucky for Mom all still small no big ones with hundreds of kids) and well, Lea has had the privelage of tagging along. Lucas was a clown this year, and it has not been uncommon in our house in the last few weeks for Lucas to unexpectedly appear wearing his costume.

These pictures were taken this morning before the big Fasching party at the day care. You can't tell in the picture but they were really excited. Lea by the way is a dog (she's wagging her tail behind her).

Below is not another costume of Lea's but rather an outfit she picket out herself. Madame already has a strong sense of what she does and does not like to wear. Luckily when I changed her diaper I was able to make the swim suit dissapear. Oh what fun time we have coming upon us. And her shoes! Let's just say we're going to have to get a bigger closet...
