Keeping busy

Well, the weekend flew by somehow as it always does, even in this dreary wet weather we're having. Time to pull out the cookie recipes and bake some sugar cut-out cookies with the kids. Elephant, heart and bear shapes were the favorites here. As winter vacation has begun with no snow in sight unfortunately, we'll be trying to stay occupied with trips to the pool (indoor of course) also a play area called Tom et Co located in Metz which the kids really love and if the weather improves, hopefully some outdoor activities. Good thing Santa brought so many games this year. There's always time for another round of Margot L'Escargot or Pretty Pretty Princess.

Of course my other means of staying busy is my new blog. As I'm a complete neophyte when it comes to blogs, I've been learning a lot just trying to set it up and add some "decorations". I've only just begun but it's a start. Doesn't look too bad anyway.

My son who is in 1st grade (or CP here) has homework during the break. He needs to read in his book that they keep at school but allow the kids to take home during vacations. He enjoys reading and it's fascinating to watch as he learns to read and the world of books opens up to him.
The girls being twins never get bored. They keep each other amused and are non-stop all day. It's true what they say that once you reach a certain point, twins can be a lot easier since there is a built-in playmate. That time has arrived at our house and it's wonderful to see!
May this week be filled with fun activities and occupied happy children. 'Cause as we all know, when they're happy, the parents are happy!
