Clara singing "The Most Beautiful Girl in the Room" from Flight of the Conchords. We have the original version and then Clara's rendition

Monika arrived from Germany yesterday, so we spent some time cleaning up the house to get ready for her arrival. She's sharing a room with Rahel, so we spent a lot of time cleaning up that room, and I came across a few boxes of shows in the closet. Miriam is always saying she needs new shoes, so when I saw these I decided to do a quick photo inventory of just how many shoes we currently have.  Take a look!

Pinchie got a silver necklace for Nikolaus Tag yesterday. She is endlessly irritating with it because she takes it off, twists it around in her hands, and ties it into impossible knots that we have to detangle several times a day. But she loves it, and said last night, "I'm so glad that Nikolaus gave me this necklace because it makes me feel magical"
