Mexican Food on St Paddy's Day and Cats in the Sun

Like cats in the sunlight, the boys sat here for hours
basking in the warm sun through the windows which
did not properly convey the cold temps outside
On St Patrick's day we had our friends, Bridget, Luke, Elia and Tesh over for dinner.  Because Bridget and I both love Mexican food and it is so hard to come by here in Berlin I figured I'd make that despite the fact that it was on an Irish holiday not a Mexican one.  That is just how we roll here in Berlin.
No pics, but a lovely, laughter filled evening with the Shaughnessy clan.  So fun to be able to laugh at all of the "German experiences"  with people who truly get it!!
The Friday snow
turned into bitterly cold, windy weather for the weekend.  I think the high was 23 degrees.  WTH??  I thought we were done with winter.  The cold temps along with the wind made going outside literally painful.
On Sunday Leopold and Suzy came over for the day because their mom was running a half marathon.  Crazy in and of itself but in these cold temps.. NUTS.
The boys had a great time playing Gravitrax and the girls building a kite to fly in the icy wind.
After lunch they went out to our big play area in the back that was basking in sunshine
albeit very cold temps.  They played capture the flag out there for nearly 2 hours!!
