Thursday Decision Day - Paris Explore Trip

Is it really Thursday!?

A super-long week here in Paris. But, mission accomplished! We squared away the school and even started the application process. Wahoo!

This helps us really dig into our apartment hunt since we want to be located within walking distance to the school. Now that search is officially ON like Donkey Kong!

Today we wanted to walk around our new neighborhood and get a feel for what's there. No surprise, it was filled with a lot of shops, restaurants, and markets. Just about anything we'll need, all right there. So, we're feeling like we made the right school/neighborhood decision.

Check out the pictures from the neighborhood open-air market. Just, you know, where I'll buy eggs, cheese and fish. No big deal. ;)

Macarons, Of Course! 

Fresh Veg ... With Dirt Still On

Fresh Pasta Has Leah and Alice's Name All Over It 

More Veggies.
I Wish I Took a Picture of the Raspberries and Homemade Yogurt.
There was another school in another neighborhood that we were considering all week, but after walking through it yesterday, it didn't have the "right" feel. Not sure if I can explain it better than that. Once we got here and walked around, we could easily see all four of us here. Just felt like us. Go with your gut, right?

Next, we get a few days to vacation! Be tourists! Maybe head over to the Louvre and find out how to become members ... **so I can spend my days roaming around and maybe finally see everything there and check that off my life goals list.** amiright?!

Behold! Everard Blue!

Here's the After picture of our master bedroom now that the walls are a dark and moody blue. Maybe the best part is I was at work while the painters were here, so I walked in and found -- as if by magic -- the room no longer minty green but a bold blue. That's pretty awesome. They also painted the trim an eye-popping white, which I just love against this blue. And the angle is a dark beige-y, tan color that I hope goes with the headboard. I spent the evening cleaning and re-hanging the drapes, and moving the furniture back into position. It will be a while before I dare hang anything in here. I'm too in love with the walls to put too many holes in them right now. So, just in case I'm looking for this information later: The walls are "Everard Blue" by Benjamin Moore . And the tray is "Curly Willow" by Behr . Now, does that furniture look too dark against the walls or is it just me? And wouldn't a lighter wood or white look fabulous agains...

France and the Third Baby

Odd fact of the day .... The French government pays for a mother’s tummy tuck after the birth of her third child (you do have to have at least 3 babies to qualify). Found on this blog about raising kids in Southern France. Yes, I'm day-dreaming again. Related posts: All the fancy quotes My love of France runs deep, people

So Long, Hanukkah Part Two

And just as quickly it started (in New Jersey, on the night of Thanksgiving, no less), Hanukkah is over.  Our eight nights were full of fun and squealing! And lighting many candles, of course. We missed one night because we were in a hotel room after spending the whole day driving home from New Jersey -- and I just didn't have the wherewithall to pull out the menorah.  Speaking of menorah, we've replaced our old, wax-filled menorah with this lovely silver beauty given to us by David's mother. It belonged to her mother and sat in the dining room for years. Isn't it pretty?! And, the wax cleans off it much easier, so we're sure to hang on to this one for many Hanukkahs to come. I'm a sucker for traditions.  Here's some photos of the last two nights: Leah Lighting the Candles - in an Eli Manning Jersey, No Less Alice Lighting in a Top She Calls her Genie Shirt David Constructing the Cardboard Pirate Ship The Last BIG Gift?
