Spring...

I worked from home today and took a break to go buy groceries...
I passed by this tree on the way to the supermarket. My mother says it's called "the love tree" I really have no idea what it is, really. But I think it's so pretty.


Just in front of the supermarket there's a small store with fresh fruit and vegetables... expensive too. This bunch of things cost 13 euros. By the way, have you ever tried raw fresh peas? They're good!
I must have passed at least three couples cuddling... Spring... or maybe it's just because tomorrow is Saint George, the most romantic day here?

It's been now 5 months since my husband had a seizure, I can't believe it! We feel so relieved, and think it's probably due to the addition of Zonegran to his regular pills....

The best of times doing nothing...

That's what we did this sunday, nothing. And it was great. It was a lazy morning, with Hubby organizing his music, me just... well reading and working in the house (not that much, really)... and the girls just playing and dressing up. They set up a "school for fairies", and A was Cinderella (not a fairy but she was in the school anyway) and C was Tinkerbell. As you can see, she was a groovy kind of Tinkerbell, because she didn't bother to take of her pyjama before dressing up, and decided that sunglasses gave her the perfect touch. Along with what she thought was lipstick. She found it in a drawer but was, in fact, concealer. She applied it to her lips, anyway... Then we went out for lunch at a tapas bar, strolled through the old part of town and went back home. A found my secret game... Playstation. Yes, I admit, at 38, I still like to play Tomb Raider. It's an old playstation, that I rescued some days ago from a forgotten box, and tried the game again. EHEM... A tried it but it was too hard for her. C decided to imitate Lara Croft and tried to climb on the shelves Lara's style... she's great at mimicking people...
Anyway, just a post so that this blog doesn't die completely...

Being a toddler is hard work

I took this pic of Cristina at a friend's house...
Doesn't it look like she's stressed??

Art class

We (I) signed up the whole family for an art class. It's every saturday morning, for three hours, and only during April. The first one was great. Our first job was to paint an animal on our hand. I did an octopus, and I was quite proud of my job. I felt like a kid again, even hoping that our teacher would praise my octopus, but no such luck, she seemed to save all her praises for the kids ;-)
A did something close to a butterfly... and C just put layer after layer of paint on her hand. She just loved seeing new colors appear everytime she put a new color on her hand... All the pictures came out blurred, so no pic of A's hand. As for my husband, I think he was trained too successfully by his mom, and he just wouldn't get his hands "dirty"... HA HA HA
Afterwards we played (there were four families), returned to class, did a small boat out of walnuts and a dolphin using a banana, which we ate too. We had a great day...

Have you heard?

Alicia, our 5 year old, lost her first baby tooth today. It must be on CNN, because she's been talking about this tooth endlessly for the last two days... As she reported, she lost her tooth at lunchtime in school, and her teacher taped it on a small pink card so she could show us. And we heard all the details several times, as I'm sure everyone in school did. She's so excited I doubt she'll sleep well, because she knows the tooth mouse (it's not a tooth fairy in this part of the world), will visit at night and leave a present...
