Elise, Celia, and I are loving the change in seasons. There are piles and piles of leaves to jump and play in all over campus! Although the campus workers are working hard to consolidate the leaves into nice, neat piles, we don't feel bad about jumping in them! (Read a blog from the past...the workers love to blow leaves and dirt into our apartment when we leave the windows open! Revenge is a beautiful thing!)
It's so fabulous to walk around town and see all the beautiful trees. There are so many great colors and I'm loving the weather. I'd be totally happy to stay in fall for the rest of the winter! It's not allowed to get any colder!
Anyways...we had a great break in the weather this weekend! It's warm with clear skies and perfect for flying kites and playing at the park. Although our kite only lasted a few flights, (very tough wind in which the wind won the kite! It swept the kite away and it is now resting peacefully on the roof of La Maison de Mexico!) Well, it was fun while it lasted! ;)
Today we got to meet Katy's Dad! We played at the park, drank some delicious chocolat chaud, and got some fabulous treats from the States via David Thompson. Elise and Celia snacked on some Oreo cookies before coming home to a peanut butter sandwich! Brian and I are really excited to use our new chapsticks! And Mrs. Thompson threw in some very special additional treats for the ladies: stickers and holiday decorations; very nice surprises considering we did not pack a single holiday item.
Oh, and the Bird: Brian and I went to see Andrew Bird on Friday night at the Casino de Paris. Fabulous venue and it was an amazing concert! Bird sounded amazing and was so on. He was incredible to watch and I loved the show! I loved being out, I love our new, fabulous babysitter, and it was so cool to just be in Paris, hearing a great show, and then walking the streets on a very pleasant evening with Brian. We even stayed out for a beer and played a little longer after the show was over. What a treat!
The rest of our day will either take us to a Trampoline Park or keep us close to home and to fix up Elise's Birthday surprise and go for a ride! She is so excited about her Happy Birthday Bike! Hope all is well!
