Rachel started to read and can now recognize a few words. She was so proud to bring a book from school and read it to us. She was not that keen when I hit the drawing.
At night Natalie wants to read to us now and it is fun to listen to her stories.
Rachel loves to make up songs and they are quite entertaining.

Rachel speaks
mom: Rachel, please do not sit in the sand box without an underwear, it will hurt
Rachel: (not very happy).... when I am old, I will boss you around
[not looking forward to that]

paques avec mami/ spring break 2011 with grandma
Maman a passe 12 jours avec nous. Les filles l'ont gate de bisous et d'attention.
Avant qu'elle ne parte, elle a enregistre des chansons et une histoire que les filles ecoutent chaque soir avant de s'endormir.
Avec son aide, nous avons paint la chambre des filles en rose - couleur de leur choix. La 1ere couche n'a pas recu l'approbation de Rachel "non c'est blanc, ce n'est pas rose clair". Apres 2 doses de couleur supplementaire, nous avons eu le rose parfait. Elles adorent et Natlie est en pleine admiration pour sa chambre.
Le living a recu lui aussi un coup de pinceau et le resultat est merveilleux.
Photos a suivre
Avec les filles mami a plante de jolies fleurs dans le jardin et l'on y a mis de l'engrais maison qui on l'espere fera grandir ces merveilleuses fleurs.
Mami tu nous manques et merci d'avoir redecore notre maison.

We had wonderful days with my mom this past month.
She did get plenty of cuddles and hugs and kisses. Before she left she taped a story for the girls to listen to and they love that.
The big change during this break is the painting work we did. We painted with the help of Rachel and Natalie their bedroom in PINK- their chosen color. The first pink color was too white to Rachel's taste who kept saying "no, it is not pink, it is white".
After a trip to the store, we got the perfect color. They love it.
We did not stop there and painted the living room which is now light orange/apricot at the top and darker, with white trims --bright and just beautiful.
The girls helped us to plant beautiful flowers at the back of the backyard where I had a hard time to fight the weeds in the flower bed.
The house is now back to "pre-children" era. Tks a million mom
