The Walburg Boys~Some of Our Favorite Germans :-)

This past weekend, we went to one of our favorite "localish" spots, the Walburg Restaurant, a great German restaurant in Walburg, Texas, about 30 minutes away. We have a great time in the summer when the biergarten is open and we can go outside to hear the Walburg Boys play. They play great alpine music, with an impressive yodeler as their lead. My little girl LOVES to dance to their polkas, waltzes, and *especially* the chicken dance! Here's a taste of their music if you're not close enough to stop by in person. Caution--this video may cause cravings for German fried potatoes, sauerkraut, sausage, and a Spaten!

Do Little Fish Pee Pee in the Ocean?

The first bed time story tonight was Ten Little Fish, a wonderfully vivid picture book. We love it in all of its sing-songy glory. Tonight, as we read the last line on the final page, "Just ten little fish swimming in a row," I encouraged my daughter to count the ten fish swimming. She firmed up her pointer finger, "One, two, three....{GASP}...do little fish pee pee in the ocean?"

So is the thought process of a potty training 3-year old...and someone who is NOT allowed to pee pee in her grandparents' pools! :-) In life there are teachable moments and laughable moments, and this was a "yes" to both.

[Solution: Yes, fish really do pee pee in the ocean. Try not to let it gross you out too much!]

[The second book we read: Naughty Little Monkeys. We don't even want to get into discussions of bathroom habits of naughty little monkeys!]
