evening at home/ soiree a la maison

Depuis qq jours/semaines, Rachel adore nous lire un livre le soir avant de se mettre au lit. Elle se souvient un peu de l'histoire et y met un peu de son imagination, c'est adorable. Il faut que je leve la main pour poser ma question
- oui maman
- comment est-ce que la maman dalmatien a su qu'ils avient retrouve les chiots dalmatiens
et ma reponse est souvent en anglais
- the other dogs found them and barked to let them know where they were
mon dieu que ces moments sont precieux. Maman, si tu pouvais etre avec nous pour les vivre ca serait merveilleux.
Avec Natalie je lui fais repeter en francais et elle a plus facile a prononcer les "r".

I used to read books at night before they go to bed but in the last few weeks, things have changed. Rachel now wants to read to us. She remembers some of the story and the rest she makes it up, it is so adorable to sit there and listen to her.
She shows us the book and asks if we have questions and we have to raise our hands if we have questions regarding the page she just showed us. Priceless, I love it

Halloween 2010

voici mes 2 princesses: Ariel et Blanche Neige



This year Rachel wanted to be Ariel and Natalie Snow White

The fun of being at school: lice

Let me spell it : LICE.
The idea never crossed my mind that this could happen. Last week, we were told that one case had been diagnosed.
We did check everybody's hair at home. Rachel had to be treated and had to have her hair combed many times with special metal combs. She was very courageous. She is fine now but these last few days were not fun for none of us..

I was upset and first felt so bad but realized that it was nobody's fault and this is part of being at school I guess. I got even a little bit paranoid and certainly went overboard....

OK, this is my first blog entry for the month of November and I do feel that I can share this issue with all of you without feeling bad about it.
I hope that the others ones will be more fun.
