We started the week with a visit to Les Poussins, the boys new school. School is not in session until mid-September, so this is just "warm-up" for the real thing. Colden was a bit shy entering his class, but the sweetest British girl came to the door and reached out her hand to him saying "it's ok, English is my first language too". After they sat down at their spots, she assured him that she would teach him the French words if he doesn't know what to say. It was so sweet. Later in the week, I met her parents and learned that she was new at Les Poussins and didn't know any French either :). Blakely also visited his classroom and with lots of tears, we separated for an hour! That should not surprise any of you!
And for a little fun in the afternoon, we played in Centre... The boys think daddy should have one of these!
Tuesday, with the boys at school, I went for an hour walk... A whole glorious hour to myself walking wherever I wanted! I had been eyeing a street that was much too steep to take the boys on and found several hiking paths and stairs off it. Down these stairs I eventually found beutiful vegetable gardens.
Another path led thru the trees.. So beautiful and only about 5 mins walk from my house in the middle or the city!
Wednesday, I drove the car without the GPS. That was huge. I'm worried about driving in bus only streets and one-ways, so was always using GPS as a crutch. A week later it seems so silly!
Thursday, I walked home from school so I could explore. I found a craft shop with yarn (finally!) and thought of all my friends (Kristi, Sherry, Michelle, Gail, just to name a few!!) who love French Country.
Friday, I put 56 liters of EuroSuper in my car. I know you are curious what that costs... About $100 and that was not even a full tank!
