It's Fasching Time!
Fasching or Carnival is the time right before Lent... in the USA we refer to the day before Ash Wednesday as "Fat Tuesday." Here it is called "Fasching Dienstag" (Carnival Tuesday). The kids and adults all dress up in costumes to celebrate. And the children play games and eat Krapfen - an Austrian jam filled doughnut :) We joined the kids and our neighbors for a celebration over the weekend! The kids also enjoyed dressing up for school... and Isaac enjoyed dressing up for walks around town (which he does year round, I'm somewhat relieved when he chooses to go out in public as Br. Francis v. the dinosaur).

In other news, we're allowing the guinea pigs out of their cage more often. Sr. Eliana told me we need to cuddle them so they learn they are our pets and not just animals in a cage in our house... hmmm, I'm kind of thought they were the latter.
Not sure if Sr. Eliana would approve of them joining Isaac's Mass....
But surely them watching other guinea pigs on YouTube is approved!
Many fun times around this place with 4 kids and 2 guinea pigs =)
