The Frenchman made his bi-monthly dash to the emergency department last night. Health being a subject that is near and dear to his gallic heart. He threw in the towel around 4am after a three-hour vigil with a few other die-hards. His return to the marital bed was preceded by a visitation from the three-year old, triumphantly announcing that there was an article in her underpants that needed to be removed forthwith.
We're talking 5am now and the seven year old, having had a splendid 10 hour sleep, is practising scales on her recorder with gusto. I flirt with the idea of barricading myself in the bathroom with a packet of biscuits and a thermos of tea before I realise that I can't wedge my pillow and my slumbering person between the ladder, assorted pieces of lego and the toilet. Neeedless to say I have no craftyness to show you here although the seven year old wants to demonstrate a little origami bling she's been making. Here's hoping this evening is slightly less eventful. x
I honestly have not laughed so much in days! You have a wonderful gift for capturing the essence of daily life with a foreign husband and two young children. Add a dash of absolutely amazing photography and it's no wonder this is one of my favourite blogs! Thank you for giving me a good chuckle. Lee :) P.S. Maybe you want to think about shifting that ladder & lego tonight?? ;)

Awww, even in sleep-deprivation you capture the loveliest images. Adore that beautiful tablescape you created in that first photo. Here's to a more creative day...

What is it about the recorder that makes the notes pierce right though your brain?!! My 8 yr old has that magic talent as well.
