Schloss Stolzenfels

A couple of weeks ago we drove up to Koblenz, and visited Schloss Stolzenfels. It's a gorgeous castle with an interesting past. We were able to take a tour of the inside (no pictures allowed though, sad face.) We even had to put on slippers over our shoes so we wouldn't ruin the original wood floors. The kids had a blast skating around in them.  The funny thing is last night I found a 2011 calendar in our drawer that shows castles from all around Europe. I kept it thinking maybe I could do something with the photos. Right on the cover was the castle we had just visited! How cool. (This is a calendar we bought in South Dakota while we were home visiting!) I had to show my husband and ask him if it looked familiar. We saw some other castles while we were up in the area but I'll save them for another post. (One of them was in the calendar too...)

Here are the pictures from the calendar...

Save the Date

I got the cutest save the date in the mail the other day, I just had to share it with you. I can't wait to see the invitations.

 It's a magnet!!

The Rapture

It's a very good thing that I don't believe in the rapture because seeing this would have really freaked me out....

There was even a pair of underwear in the pants!!!!

She told me she was picking out her clothes for school the next day :)

I've been coming across more and more "flat kids" over the last couple weeks. There was even a flat ballerina!  (The tights were inside the leotard along with a pair of underwear inside the tights, a pair of leg warmers over the legs of the tights, and skirt around the waist.)
