Svenja and Jacqueline did a wonderful job at Step into School at the Louisiana Children’s Museum on August 4, 2012. They also had a lot of fun making school cones with the kids.

Here’s Svenja’s note about the event:

The fair was a really great event and we had a great spot, right in the middle, in front of the food corner. Everyone passes that spot eventually so right from the beginning Jacqueline and I were pretty busy. Most of the people thought the school cones would be used as hats! So it was fun to explain to everyone our German tradition, the kids loved it! Of course everyone wants a school cone filled with treats!

I am always surprised how few people know about the Au Pair in America Program down here. We talked to a lot of moms, and a few dads, who were really interested in the program though and I hope that some of them really look into it!
Thankfully Tracey, from the LCM, had prepared some extra paper and everything, because we had a loooot of cones to make! Tracey was very helpful and left us with no questions unanswered.

All in all we had a really fun day. We were tired, happy and covered in glitter!
