Another weekend well spent... returned yesterday from what is starting to feel more and more like home. Nothing special, just relaxation and taking time for the kids and our good friends Jos and Sas, who were there before us on Friday.
We had a really smooth ride down, only took us 3 hours and 40 minutes! Friday night we ordered pizza from Sezanne, they make very neat pizzas there, the flavours on their menu, remind me to show you if you're ever at the house :) and then the size :) American style... anyway it was the perfect meal for us and the kids. After that it was bed time, Madeleine got to sleep in her brand new princess like Ikea bed, which I had assambled while waiting for the pizza... I forgot to take pictures, it looks very nice, especially when she is in it :)
Saturday was another beautiful day in Oyes en Champagne, with loads of sunshine, mild temperatures and clean air. After hanging around in the morning, assembling a reck for the bathroom, chatting and playing, we went for a long (well for us it was) walk in the afternoon, Maxime stole the show with his cute-factor. The kids had a good time. Madeleine found it really unfair that girls weren't allowed to get dirty ;) (the boys weren't either but they truly did)
Came home, time to bake chocolate muffins and make dinner for 8 hungry little and big monsters. So good to sit down at the table all together, with the fire going. It is a beautiful fire place, and clean now. The yearly cleaning had taken place in our absence. Monsieur Boivin passed by on Saturday to tell us he had done it and to take a look at the next project. We absolutely need to fix a grill in the well. So dangerous, but at the same time beautiful and impressive at least 10 meters deep.
Voila, now you know (almost) everything about our weekend... enjoy the pictures, Michel is turning into quite the photographer... Until next time... Salut!
