Week in Pictures

Here are the latest news from the trenches:

We went to the birthday of a friend -theme? Superheros, so here is our BATGIRL in a taekwondo move:


After months of refusing to wear this dress because it was green, her majesty decided to give the dress a try. When picking it up in her closet, she said 'it smells just like my vovo, I want to see vovo!' - The dress was a smashing hit at school and surely has many happy days of outdoor cirque du soleil training ahead:


We baked a chocolate cake - the best part? Licking the spatula:


She is writing better and better (merci pour le tableau mutti mutti et Aicha!!):


We are also warming up for the upcoming world cup:

Latest Career Thoughts

This morning:

a: Mommy, when I grow up I will be a rock star!
M: Oh WOW, that sounds great. What do you think a rock star does?
a: I don't know!

15 minutes later:
a: Mommy, when I grow up, I want to be a mom!
M: OK, you can be many different things when you are a grown up, maybe you can be a rock star and then a mom, that would be easier because a lot of rock stars are going on trips a lot.
a: Good idea mom, I'll travel and then be a mom!
M: Awesome idea!

Throughout the conversation, memories of the 'Runaways' movie came to mind... Decided to keep THE talk about rock star lifestyle for later...

Latest Pix and stories

Ah long time without posts, so here are our latest adventures en vrac:

Mother's Day Weekend -

On Sat, I went to Tae Kwondo Class with Amélie, lots of fun, and Amélie was ecstatic that her mom was in class with her.

On Sunday, Daddy had to travel so we had breakfast entre filles:



Then we went to the Buddhist Center, where we met our friend Merf. We were there to help them with decorating their garden for the Dalai Lama's visit. As they didn't have a job for us to do, we ended up just enjoying the temple garden:



This weekend was super rainy, so we decided to go to the Children's Museum, for Amélie to enjoy her favorite attraction - The Carousel:



Lots of rain coming down again today, it's good for the garden!
