First Day at School

Yesterday (Thursday) was our daughter´s first day at school. Benjamin and I went with her to school for 3 hours and then we enjoyed a wonderful lunch and a visit to the Kinder- und Jugendmuseum München (childrens´museum).



Wonderful small classes with 16 kids:

Benjamin and Aaliyah in front of the synagogue (which is right next to the school in the center of Munich):


Cooking at the museum:

She (and we too!) really enjoyed her first day at school. I wish her the best and that she can still keep her purple-colored glasses on for a while.

Schultüte (School Cone) - Part 2

The past nights have been sleepless again, making the Schultüte (School Cone), baking and cooking for a friend´s wedding, completing molys, etc. but I´m glad my daughter appreciated the hours of work I put into her school cone.

"Mom, its´the most beautiful cone of the world." :)

The contents:

Schultüte (School Cone)

"When children in Germany set off for their first day in school upon entering first grade, their parents and/or grandparents present them with a big cardboard cone, prettily decorated and filled with toys, chocolate, candies, school supplies, and various other goodies. It is given to children to make this anxiously awaited first day of school a little bit sweeter." (wikipedia.com)

This is my daughters Schultüte and I need to get this decorated tonight! Any creative ideas? I´d rather fill my moleskines. ;)

Update: Here are the results.
