Children's Day preparations

The preparations for the upcoming Children's Day tomorrow are going on. the children learned from their friends at school that there will be presents involved but I could convince them that this only applies to Korean children here! 

As I already mentioned before, we like to visit the city's canal 'round the corner of our appartment. Over there they are also preparing everything for the big day tomorrow and the festivities for Buddha's Birthday on the 10th.

To complement all the lovaly lanterns suspended over the stream they added a reddish-pinkish ribbon curtain to one of the bridges. it looks so amazing from afar and it is great to walk through this shower of organza in Pink, Red, Yellow and Orange and Blue:

After our stroll we stopped in a cafe for a sandwich, a game of cards and fresh lemonade. Jakob loves to play cards, or pokerface. And I love all these sweet little drawings on the paper items, on shop windows (another good post for show and tell!). I even collected the papers and packaging of some of our purchases to compile a little scrapbok made of our first encounters with Korean paper.

After we arrived in the appartment, the children took their pencils and were drawing what they had seen. And this made me really happy! I put a lot of effort into bringing them to express themselves with paper and pencil over the years and they are really doing it. When they could not write they were just scribbling things with pen, pencil or watercolours after they experienced something. And they are still doing it without being encouraged. These are the moments when you know all your efforts are leading to something good - and that in itself is good for me to see because we all need this encouragements from time to time, don't we mothers out there?

So no presents tomorrow but a bit of Korean children's day and a bit of Cinco de Mayo! Maybe homemade fajitas and Tortillas with some ribbon garlands or so! 

Enjoy your day!

Yvonne

Liebe Yvonne,
ich genieße deine Fotos aus Korea sehr und bin ganz begeistert von dieser farbenfrohen Brücke. Eine tolle Dekoration!

Was du über deine Kinder schreibst finde ich wunderbar. Mein Großer malt sich im Moment immer Erinnerungszettel mit Dingen, die er auf gar keinen Fall vergessen darf.

Danke übrigens für den Fernweh-Tipp :). Wir haben viele Freunde, die als Expats in den verschiedenen Winkeln der Erde leben und sich dort richtig wohl fühlen. An positiven Beispielen mangelt es also nicht ;).

Liebe Grüße und dir und deiner Familie ein schönes Wochenende, Nadine

With havin so much content do you ever run into any issues of plagorism or copyright violation? My blog has a lot of completely unique content I've either authored myself or outsourced but it looks like a lot of it is popping it up all over the internet without my authorization. Do you know any techniques to help prevent content from being ripped off? I'd definitely appreciate it.
