A day at home

Today was a day at home with Haydn, he woke up in the night complaining of not breathing well, straight away we thought it might be one of his allergies, but no it's a chest infection, not a bad one but bad enought to stay home with me. we had a lovely day, scrapbook this morning, and here is the page he did, isn't he cute in his PJ !

aujourd'hui j'ai passee la journee a la maison avec Haydn qui n'etait pas tres bien cette nuit, nous avons d'abord pense a une allergie, mais non c'est plutot des bronches encombres.
je ne l'ai pas enmener chez le medecin, mais nous avons passe une journee ensemble, j'ai prepare un cours et il a aussi voulu faire un page de scrap, que nous avons scanner ensemble, je lui ai dit que j'allais la poster sur mon blog ! il etait tres content. et quand j'ai pris une photo de lui il m'a dit... je suis en pyjama!! trop mignon !
c'est le super pyjama que lui a offert Lori pour son anniversaire.
bon je vais dormir !
bisous

Voila un Layout que j'ai fait hier soir, une journee d'automne en Bretagne a ramasser des champignons. j'adore la saison de l'automne quand les arbres sont couleurs orange et or.
Eleanor avait 10 mois environ, et le petit cardigan rouge a ete tricote par sa marraine Francoise, je l'ai toujours.

sinon pour les nouvelles Eleanor a commencer un nouvel instrument violoncelle, donc maintenant le lundi cela nous fait deux instruments a emmener a l'ecole, violon et violoncelle !! heureusement que la voiture est grande !!
Eleanor started playing a new instrument cello, sounds just beautiful, she is such a talented cookie i tell you !
Haydn is doing well with his violin, has gone up a class this term already, Eleanor is so good with him, teaching him, he is so lucky to have her, so are we.
Haydn fait toujours du violon aussi, et il a vraiment de la chance d'avoir une soeur comme Eleanor qui qui donne des lecons en plus de l'ecole.
Haydn is now in the top violin group for his age group in a nice little group of five. i love our school, i love it that the children can learn music like that, i wonder what instrument Suliac will play !! he loves music already !
j'adore notre ecole et le fait que nos enfants apprennent des l'age de 7/8ans a jouer d'un instrument de musique, je me demande quel instrument Suliac jouera !??
bon je vais poster des photos dans le prochain message !
bisous
i will post some photos later on tonight or tomorrow

Yesterday, friday,was assembly at school and Suliac and all the Prep children, went to shake hands with Mr M., the asistant principal, they were all so cute ! they were given a certificate, hat and drink bottle because they are the first time Prep, as it is a new program in queensland.
i also took some pictures of Suliac's classroom, it is all new and so nice.
Hier, vendredi, c'etait jour de l'assemblee a l'ecole, tous les vendredi toutes les classes se reunissent dans un grand hall, ils chantent l'hymne national, et monte le drapeau Australien. le directeur de l'ecole, annonce les nouvelles, parle des regles a respecter dans l'ecole etc, il y a souvent des invites comme des sportifs,par exemple.
les petits de Prep hier on ete un par un voir l'assistant de la directrice de l'ecole, pour recevoir un certificat,un chapeau, et une bouteille en plastic pour mettre de l'eau, car ce sont cette annee 2007 les premiers a faire Prep, un nouveau program a plein temps qui est l'equivalent en france de la grande section maternelle.
Nancy, je sais que tu nous lis ! Suliac t'envoie plein de bisous !!

{busy Sunday}

Every days seems to be so busy at the moment. Having someone staying in the house makes it very busy.
we had a lovely quiet day, yesterday, i took the girls shopping, and we found some great bikinis at $5 each ! at the new Billabong store that open not far from where we are. i got a lovely top for Eleanor for 15 dollars instead of the $60 price tag !!
what a bargain !
we went to the beach in the morning and both Haydn and Eleanor were booked in with the Mermaid beach surf club to learn about rip in the sea. Eleanor even got rescued (as part of the learning !) it was great. Suliac had a great time making suncastle. i took a few photos, just haven't had time to downloasd them yet

today,we had a quiet day at home, but busy with one of Ellie's friend sleeping over. they made cakes, and i looked for a flat for Dee.
right better go !
see you !
mimi

{been flat out!!!}

Been a bad blogger i know ! i am suppose to blog everyday ! just don't have enough hours in the day at the moment. A friend from Melbourne is moving back here on the gold coast and we are helping her to find somewhere to rent, not an easy task when you are on a budget, rent are so so expensive here on the coast.
it's always fun having someone at home, i love it ! today i drop everyone at Pacific Fair and came home with Suliac for a quiet day, as another migraine was on its way to me !! it's been a very hot day.
had a lovely day with Suliac, had a nap this afternoon, and prepared dinner. we had pizza. My darling husband went near Brisbane tonight after work to pick up my camera that i forgot ( i still can't believe i left it behind!!) at Kathy's house on monday, and did not even realise. only because i have been to busy to even take photo this week, which is a rare even for me !!
better go and see my guests !
take care
Mimi

Newsletter

Enfin j'ai trouve une idee pour creer une newsletter, juste sur la droite il y a Blogarithm, vous avez juste a mettre votre adresse email et comme cela vous pourrez recevoir un update ! je sais que moi meme si je n'ai pas d'update je ne prends pas le temps d'aller voir tous les blogs. merci de vos visites, je suis heureuse de pouvoir partager un petit bout de notre vie avec vous.
at last i have organised a newsletter, i must say if i don't get updates of blogs i don't visit as often, i love it when my favorite blogs send me updates. they don't have the news letter on blogger so i had to look elsewhere and this one seems to be easy to use. and thank you for your visits and comments, it always make my day to read them.
take care
a bientot
Mimi
