By surprise they gave it to the kids in the evening during 'Kinder Disco'. Hannah was asked first to come to the stage. She was asked 'What's your name' and 'Where do you come from?'. She replied 'Hannah' and 'Germany'. Besides the fact that she went to the stage and seemed to be not shy at all we have been very surprised about 'Germany'. She knows our address in Germany (Wendeburg, Ahornring), but we've never told her the country itself. 2) At home: Hannah was not willing to make up the living room after playing, a lot of toys, books and the like are spread. I reminded her 2 times to make up the room. At the third and last reminder I told her that everything which has not been removed in time will be thrown away by myself in the evening while she is sleeping. At this point she started to do something. I did not check the result immediately, but later on I still found some items left on the floor (but not knowing exactly what it is, I just assumed there are still toys or the like). I asked her whether she completed to make up the room, because something is left. She said 'Yes, I put MY things away, I just left the trash, YOU can throw away!!' I was shocked!! I've never expected this reaction. How can she be that smart to use my own threat against me ... ?!?! 1) Vacation in Tunisia: During daytime the kids did some t-shirt painting.

But I think she was cheating – I’m sure she was reading it off a cheat sheet. :-) I heard Grace spell the name and recite her phone number over the phone.
