The Trumpet

Is really a funnel. Don't tell the kids. 
NaeNae thinks that I have a set of trumpets.
NaeNae plays hers very loudly, 
she says that's the way it sounds.
It is too loud to capture with a camera.
I have noticed though it lessens considerably when it's her brother's nap time.
Dre is in on it too. 
 Sound effects and all.

This is how I found my daughter this morning.
We (as in the whole of Switzerland) air out our homes at least once a day and usually in the morning.
It was a chilly morning today so Daddy 'pappoosed' her.

And introducing to our country....
 Yup. They're new.
Notice the price.

And people wonder why obesity is more common in North America. I can tell you. Price of junk food.
Well here's a rant I didn't even feel coming on. 
Here in Switzerland it is more expensive to eat crappy food. I think that makes sense. Chips (4.40), pop (2.50 for 1L), MacDonald's (2 adult meals and a happy meal 35.00) are all much more costly then making a meal at home. Here they actually  reward you for making it from scratch by letting you keep some of your $$ in your pocket. 
Or your safe. 
Yes, a safe. Apparently owning a safe is some sort of genetic thing in my hubby's family. 
Owning two just makes you, well, more safe. 
When I mentioned to hubby that we should have a fireproof one he said that we would keep it in our air raid shelter in the basement and that should keep it safe. 
Betcha don't have one of those in your house M, do ya?
We have an air raid shelter in the basement ok. It's mandatory here that you have an air raid shelter that you can go to, so they build them into most houses. There are also public ones in case your house doesn't have one. 
Swiss are the over achievers of the Boy Scout world. 
I feel secure. Now.
