It snowed last night. Not much, a dusting really. But it was only the second time this winter they have gotten any snow in Maastricht. It is already half-melted slush, but still notable. This week is colder and windy. The highs are mid-30s to 40.
We do not have a thin hat that Natalie can wear under her bike helmet and her helmet will not fit over her dragon hat. She has a silk scarf that she could cover head with and it will fit under her helmet. IF she will wear it. She has not been interested in wearing it, but she may change her mind after a cold bike ride to childcare without it. There are not many places here that still have winter hats and mittens. We scoured many stores and bought two pairs of mitten for the tyke since we arrived. The second one has a string that runs through her coat so we will not lose one. We lost one of her first mittens.
Yesterday I tried a kikastick for lunch, again it was something you would expect to find at the state fair. It was chunks of pork(?) sausage and piecces of onion on a stick and deep fried. The mustard I had with it was good.
I saw the article in the Startribune about the FIRST Robotics competetion. Good luck, Centennial! Mark wishes he could be there to see the competition. Keep us updated.
