A taste of things to come

For the past couple of days, Juliette's big game has been holding on to my two fingers and running around the rooms upstairs chasing Sophie, killing herself laughing. She's been getting faster and faster and holding on to my fingers less and less. And tonight, just before bedtime, she kept walking two or three steps by herself between me and Sophie or me and Mike. Looks like the fun and games are about to begin !!! Especially as she thinks it's hysterically funny and giggles herself silly every time she launches herself into someone's arms !!

Through the wars

Picked up the girls from the childminder's last night.

Sophie got tripped up at school (by the little git Stanislas again) on the way to the dustbin and hurt her chin on the side of the bin.

And Juliette got knocked over because she was standing behind a chair when the childminder stood up (childminder's version) / got pushed over by the childminder's little boy because she knocked down the castle he'd been making (Sophie's version !!!) and bashed her lips/teeth on the floor. It was quite swollen last night but doesn't look so bad today.

But even bashed up, they're still looking gorgeous and all smiles !

Especially when the sun's come out so I can show off my new EuroDisney Tshirt !!!

Through the eyes of a child !

I was watching a TV programme with Sophie the other day and there were identical twins. I asked her if there were any twins at her school and she had a good hard think and said : "Well, Kezia and Jaouad have got the same colour skin" !!! Awwww !

Taking the Mickey

Well the weekend at Disney was a great success. We headed down to the Haven/Siblu camp near Paris on the Friday afternoon when Mike got out of work. First surprise on arrival - all the signs were in English, all the camp workers were English, most of the holidaymakers were English ... It was basically a UK campside transported across the water, so that was an added bonus for us ! Sophie got loads of Tiger Club colouring sheets, a badge, a pencil and a ball so was well chuffed, then off to the mobile home. Very nice, but freezing cold at night, and only a gas fire so I wasn't keen on leaving it on overnight while we slept.

Beautiful weather all day long on Saturday for Eurodisney. Nice weather in the morning on Sunday for Disney Studios but just after the parade, the sky clouded over and it poured all afternoon at Eurodisney. Luckily we'd done all the outdoor things the day before so we still managed to have fun.
