Every day life

Jason has started work and the girls and I are settling into everyday life. While somethings are different a lot is still the same. We eat, play, read, go to the playground, go to the grocery store, do the laundry, clean the house. How we do them is a little different.

We walk to the playground now. I have found 4 playgrounds so far that we can walk to. We also walked up to Prague Castle the other day. It is about a 10 minute walk. Sofia was so excited to see a real castle (so was I).

We go to the grocery store every day since we can only get as much as I can carry back to the apartment. There is a big (not like Stop & shop but like a small town grocery) grocery store that is about a 10 min walk and there are a bunch of smaller shops along our street. Sometimes I go to the big store ad sometimes I just go to the small shops. One of the things that is interesting is that there is a store called the Drogerie. It is a store that basically sells cleaning products....kitchen, bath etc as well as shampoo, conditioner soap. Some also sells hair coloring and perfumes. People must clean a lot around here though because there are a LOT of Drogerie shops.

The Laudry takes a little time to get done since the washer is smaller and we have no dryer. Jason originally thought it was a wasjer/dryer combo but it isn't. It is just a washer so I have to hang the clothes on the clothes line that is off our balcony. I don't mind hanging the laundry but it would be nice if it would dry longer. I am learning to be more aware of rain though since a couple times my almost dry laundry got rained on. I'm also starting to use fabric softener since without drying the clothes in a clothes drier they are pretty stiff. I'm hoping the fabric softener will take care of that. The only other downside of not having a drier is that I don't get the fabric shrink on my pants that makes them fit me. I guess I will have to go by new pants.
