Léna's Report Card

A few photos that I managed to get this morning when I dropped Léna off at Carnaval.

Léna and a little classmate, Liora (Little Red Riding Hood). Louise refused to let me take her photo but she was a very cute Tinkerbell.

 
 And for those of you who want to brush off that rusty French....enjoy.

Happy Valentine's Day!

 Our Valentine's Day is off to a good start.  Here's Estelle & Léna with a nice care package that arrived in the mail last week from Auntie Martha.

 Little Debbie's Snack Cakes - Iced Valentine Brownies.  (this is a silly joke between me and Martha which dates back a few years, trying to hide Little Debbie products on each other.  Don't worry if you don't understand.  We barely do!)

 But look how excited they are because of the colorful box!

 Yum Yum!

 If it's sweet, she'll eat it.

And here's a little "atelier" for making Valentine's Saturday morning before we left for our snow-weekend.  This was fun.

Today at school it's Carnaval.  Really, Tuesday was Mardi Gras, but since the teachers were striking (There is a proposed reform to make the kids go to school on Wednesday mornings, which no one wants). Carnaval was pushed back to today.  Léna went in full cowgirl/flamenco dancer attire.  She was excited!  Estelle's school doesn't do this but I will go today to give a little English lesson, my first time since she's been in 1st grade. Should be interesting!
My special Valentine Thomas is in bed for day #2 with a gastro/flu bug that all of Nice seems to have.  I myself am back on cortizone for my lungs as I've been coughing up stuff.  And Léna's been sick too with a cough.  We are ready for vacation which starts in 2 days!
