I am proud to announce that yours truly has completed her Kindermusik training. All that really means is that I now carry a license to make frog and elephant sounds in a room full of 2-4 year olds. How does one celebrate such an accomplishment? I used to have a friend who would commemorate important dates by buying a new pair of pretty panties. I thought about doing that or perhaps changing my name to Maria and sewing play clothes out of ugly old curtains so that my kids can frolic the Austrian countryside while singing “Fa…. a long long way to run”. But what better way to celebrate both Fall and my new certification than with some crisp apple strudel… as in “cream colored ponies…. doorbells and sleigh bells…” you get the idea. It was either that or schnitzel with noodles which, let’s face it, who really knows what a “schnitzel is anyway? As we speak, my youngest is plundering the fruit bowl that Mommy left at eye-level and juggling red delicious apples under the dining room table. Best get to baking!

Thanks for your patience with me while I’ve been M.I.A. lately completing this course. It’s nice to be back in the blogosphere.
