June 6.2009-

I crashed Amy's small town life this weekend and joined her in her Au pair duties Saturday morning. The kids, boys I should mention,

were desperate to go outside and show me their snail collection. Sure enough they had a tank full of escargot in their play area. After a few minutes Amy got them excited about going on a slug hunt! A what? I had to chase after the three of them going full sprint into the front yard.
"Sneglen, hvor er du?"
Amy said one time she walked through the woods (the forest as its always called here) promising the boys slugs and they couldn't find any. She said it was because they hadn't called for them yet. They yelled out, snails where are you, and all of a sudden found one. Now they can't go anywhere near the woods without Daniel screaming at the top of his lungs to get the snail's attention.
Here they go on a mission..

Oliver spots one!

Daniel pokes at a fat one.

"Sød Kelly.." Amy taught them to address her kindly.
Sweet Daniel picked me a flower.. aww!

Oh Amy, the ever happy Nanny!!

Oliver, 3, and Daniel, 4.. Too cute for words! Danish only speaking too mind you, its amazing what you can communicate without ever talking! After I was handed a bug, a flower and a "sword" , while with the help of Amy got to tell them I hated snakes,
eww slanger, I was in!
