Good Families Don't, a.k.a the "fart book" is one of my favourite Munsch stories.
And is that little Olivia in the first pic, btw? She looks adorable! 
Oops, gotta get back to work now... except there's a fart sitting on my desk!  |
Hey Trunk...... We started with Canada for a couple of reasons. One b/c it is close to the United States and second b/c the kids heard that you sent candy and that is the box they wanted to start with (of course).
Oh yeah that is Olivia.... I have more pics of the girls that I will post for you all. Do you know that she will be a year old in a month.... wow.
By the way the fart monster book was my favorite too

I am not sure if I mentioned it in my letter, so I'm going to say it here: The German flag is called "Black-Red-Gold", not "Black-Red-Yellow". The colours might be the latter, but the *NAME* is "Black-Red-Gold". Calling it "Black-Red-Yellow" is considered an offence since it was in the past often used to ridicule the flag [also during the Nazi times, when they reverted to the old Red White and Black colour scheme]. Just a bit of trivia you can tell the kids [though I guess you might want to leave out the Nazi bit. Not saying that they should never learn about that, but I think they might be a wee bit young for that yet.].).
I think I might actually have mentioned the correct name in the letter, actually...but just making sure here.
Can't wait to see them reach Germany. ^_^ Home of possibly the largest variety of bread types available (500-600 different types, though some say it's at least 1000)! ...Darn, I just realised I should have sent you a "Bernd das Brot" ["Bernd the Bread"] Plushie too.  But now it's too late, right? (Why do I only get these great ideas after I've sent my stuff ages ago. )

Hey Jaz.... it is never to late to send goodies for the kids, what ever you would like to send would be so great. The kids are so excitied that you all cared so much to send these cool things to them.
Thank you for the info on your flag, that is the last thing that I would want to do, is insult someones flag or their country.
****Also by the way .... to everyone***** Once we complete studing your country The kids and I will be sending you al thank you card for all of your hard work. Inside the kids will have written their name for you to see.
THanks again for helping us learn so much about your countries
Hugs and kisses to you all
