you told me how to get rid of those ----! Those ----- were freaking me out and i hoped that only i could see theem and everybody else saw a plain white page.<br />
but now i removed the dotted lines and i like the look much better. <br />

"open the book and you're ready to play president and first lady!" so it says. it is quite old - so not barack obama was the top-dog of this mansion but ronald reagan. so the little book suggests to "redecorate with nancy" or "raise defense spending with ron". <br />

it is such a colorful and happy one that i am always quite excited when i go there.<br />
the store is called <a href="http://www.okversand.com/">ok-versand</a>. and there you can get things of the everyday life from people all over the world. from russia, mexico, ghana, india, china, thailand, morocco, yemen or even vietnam. <br />
you can always find something interesting you must take home with you. some things are useful, most are just for fun or for decorating. years ago i bought a bright red enamel bowl and since today i know it was imported from china.<br />
they still sell them in the store.<br />

the 10 year old party guest were given crime scene kits, filled with tools to solve the case.<br />
in their imagination justin bieber was murdered and they needed to find the killer.<br />

<br />
i found another option that should be great fun - it's called<br />
<a href="http://www.cologne-conference-bike.de/">the cologne conference bike.</a> <br />

this vehicle is a bike that transports up to seven people. one person is the driver who navigates and brakes. the rest may lay back and relax or support that kind person. the more people pedal and work together the faster they will get. there's no special approval needed to ride this bike as there is no motor in it.<br />
you may also bring your own drinks and snacks with you as there is a cooler in the back to keep everything cold. so you can take a break at a place you like.<br />

you can also rent a driver if you prefer joining the party and like to try a kölsch or two. you could also use the bike for an inspiring conference or just a fun meeting. it could become a bit edgy for the person driving backwards but i think you get used to itvery fast. otherwise take a break and swap seats. you can find all the technical stuff on the <a href="http://www.cologne-conference-bike.de/">cologne conference bike</a> website. that's where you can book and rent it. <br />

<br />
so when i wanted to buy our first game i searched the stores for a cute one. but i did not want a "lion king memory" or a spongebop one. so i started looking for a used memory game. and soon i found a "sendung mit der maus" memory.<br />
<br />
my boys really LOVE the orange mouse...<br />
<br />
when i realized that there were really cute and also stylish memories from the 50's, 60's and 70's i started looking for them for myself. and now i found this great one and had to buy it...<br />

<br />
the idea is gorgeous!<br />
i remember times when i was doodling all over my white converse. making things worse.<br />
but now i could pimp our shoes professionally.<br />
at first you can choose a shoe style, and then upload a picture or design you like and step by step every part of the shoe gets it special character. and there are 13 parts. so being creative would come in handy...<br />
<br />
you can even print a text on each part and may choose between different fonts. <br />
i chose cars and trucks as design. of course. what else should i take? <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WV1_mhalh_A/S_g0y8FlPuI/AAAAAAAADdU/wV_PmTPfiRs/s1600/keds2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_WV1_mhalh_A/S_g0y8FlPuI/AAAAAAAADdU/wV_PmTPfiRs/s400/keds2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
so this is MY SHOE.<br />
<br />
when you are ready save your shoe. then you can buy it.<br />
you can also design keds for men and women, not just kids.<br />
<br />
perhaps i will try to create two different shoes with different pictures so that mats knows which shoe to wear on which foot.<br />
must try that...<br />

i had put too much "goods" in it - too much wooden pasta, too much pretzels and so on. so when it came to cleaning up i had to do the whole work. so the small parts take a break in the cellar now till it's time to come out again.<br />
by the way i learned that it's a mama-habit to arrange all the goods in the kaufladen. the boys immediately threw everything in one pot again. hmmm.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WV1_mhalh_A/S_VxMVxcjgI/AAAAAAAADZE/8Ucit6PERkk/s1600/januar2010+153.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_WV1_mhalh_A/S_VxMVxcjgI/AAAAAAAADZE/8Ucit6PERkk/s400/januar2010+153.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br />
when i was looking for the kaufladen i was sure about one thing: i didn't want to buy a new one. i wanted a vintage one. there are lots of them on sale but some were damaged, too small, too big, too expensive. then i found this one. must be from the 70's i guess. it's perfect for the boys. mats can sell everything while tim prepares the meal in his <a href="http://auntcharliescabin.blogspot.com/2010/01/fridge-and-oven.html">playkitchen.</a><br />
<br />
i had thought about building one on my own at first but that was way too optimistic and i gave up soon.<br />
but i also liked these kaufladen<br />

i found this baby carriage that you can easily transorm into a <a href="http://www.creativeindustrialobjects.com/pixstudio/pixstudio_net/pix_press.html">roller buggy.</a>. so both parties have a good time while being out. the roller buggy has a hydraulic brake system and of course a safe belt. you can go faster with it and <br />
