Spiekeroog! (The second day)

Ok. So..
The 1st night Maddie had me agree to a crazy plan. We were going to get up in the middle of the night, take our blankets and pillows, and go upstairs to sleep in the 'clubhouse.' When the boys woke up we were going to scare them as they came out of their room. Everything went wrong from the beginning. First of all, Maddie woke me up at 1:30am (That's right AM!) and made me get up. We weren't sure if she would be able to wake up later, so we decided that we'd have to go upstairs then. Then she said that Nora couldn't sleep, and that she was coming with us. We started up the stairs. "CREAK!" I knew from that very moment that this 'plan' of ours would be a disaster. Some time later Nora creaked back down the stairs to her bed where she spent the rest of the night.
We fell asleep, but somewhere around 7 we all woke up. Nora, at this point in time was with us. She decided to get a baby doll to play with..she creaked down the stairs..Maddie and I both winced. She creaked up the stairs..more wincing. Then she decided to go downstairs, "Ok, but you have to stay there this time!" "CREAK! CREAK!" *wince wince* Finally some peace..not for long though.. "CREAK! CREAK!" *wince wince* "What do you need Nora?" "I'm going to stay with you now." This performance was repeated.
Finally Andrew emerged and looked straight at us. He stared..said, "What are you doing" and went down the stairs. We should have just given up then, but no. We had Nora try to get Jack out of his room for at least 15min, but it didn't work. Andrew had forewarned him. So much for that bright idea. Sleeping on the floor is no joke..especially with no blanket underneath! Sore ribs!
The rest of the day we spent visiting German relatives and friends, eating, playing on the playground, eating, watching Scooby Doo 2, and eating. By the end of the day we were stuffed with gummy bears, German tea cakes, and who knows what else. I'd go into details,but this post is already pretty long.
I'll just say that we had a ton of fun..Pictures to follow.
