Le Weekend

Saturday, October 3 /09:

This morning I woke up at 8 and ate breakfast with the family.

Gillian went for a run and I got dressed, then crocheted. then we both went to to the market in Sommieres while the boys planted grass with Fred.

I looked at a nice jacket for fall and rain and it was 25 euros, so a good deal, but didn't buy it. (I'm being FRUGAL)...If it is still there next week, mom has given me permission to buy the jacket. I DID buy strawberries and made a jam out of them. MMMMM :) I've spread it over top of a piece of Gillian's chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream and coffee for an afternoon snack.

FUN FACT OF THE DAY:

Denim was invented in Nimes, a large city about a half hour north of here. It's original pronunciation was DeNime (de-nime)....DENIM!

***********************************************************************************

After the boys had their 'non-nap', we went to a park by a lake with people and their children from church. It was fun!

We went to a cafeteria (like a food court) for supper. I got pasta and we all ate ice cream for desert. I got chocolate with espresso sauce on it. So Yummy!

Tomorrow, we're going to have a pot luck lunch after church, so I'm going to make a chocolate surprise cake to bring.

Sunday, October 4 /09:

In efforts of curing my poor feet (that are all blistered) I put Sea Buckthorn on them before I went to sleep with fuzzy socks. I really hate wearing socks to bed...

**********************************************************************

It is October 4th and I'm wearing shorts and a t-shirt! (yippee!)

The boys didn't nap today, and Gillian was getting tired, i could tell, and so I'm going to take them to the park down the street to get them out of the house. Maybe It'll tire them out.

**********************************************************************

I just got back from the park. The boys got to play with a little girl from their school named Madeline. We left because Ben started throwing rocks.

**********************************************************************

The leaves are starting to fall from the trees and turn pretty colors. That makes me happy, because it was like 24 degrees Celsius today.

...I want to go apple picking.....

.....I also want friends who aren't three years old.....
