Kids say the darndest things!

Meyke is seriously the most adorable thing in the entire world. Today we were biking home and she started gaging so I asked her what was wrong and she said that the smell was gross. We figured out that it was the aroma factory close by which sometimes smells very good but not always. I was trying to explain to her that they make smells but I couldn't figure out how to say aroma. She follows by saying in the most matter of fact way "What do they make poop". The way she said it was just so cute.

This past weekend was a very interesting weekend...extremely interesting....

On Saturday I finally made it to the vanGogh museum. It is definitely worth going to see. I'm not much of an art person and had an entire discussion with henk (who adores art and spends lots of money on it) about how art is a waste of money and the money spent on it should go into other things. After seeing the paintings in this museum I wish to take everything back. I cannot believe that I would insult an artist so deeply. Some of the paintings were so well done that they could almost be pictures taken with a camera...now that is talent...making paint look real. It must take them forever to do and you would have to have so much imagination. All you artists out there, I take my hat off for you.

I am fortunate enough to be able to go to Austria and Switzerland this coming weekend. It happens to be Easter so we get to go for extra long - thursday night until tuesday morning. I am very excited but also feel a little bit weird b/c in my mind a religious holiday like this is to be spent with family and in church...hummm....I guess while I am here friends are family and I am going with Hannah so we will figure it out...

Talk to you soon...it appears as if this is an exciting time for a lot of my friends. University friends done university, some friends going onto masters or teacher's college, others looking for jobs, others making big moves...I am thinking of you all!
