A post just for her, with Mizoune's cow and Grand-Maman's cute shirt...

Marin Mammal Center

It was raining pretty hard on Sunday when we had just decided to go visit the Marin Mammal Center, a big "hospital" which takes care of sick or injured mammals found along the Pacific Coast. We took the risk to join a class, followed by a guided tour, with Kyan and Anastasia, and, surprise, they behaved impressively well and were totally absorbed by the presentation. Granted, they had been there before, with Grand-Maman and Grand-Papa, so, unlike us, they knew the place.

Kyan was very interested in seals, sea lions and other sea creatures skeletons, their different kind of furs, and especially in the rescuing methods (I've been overhearing a lot of it through his plays since).

And for more infomations about that great place, it's HERE.

Kimonos and Eskimos

I'm busy making new products for the Christmas Fair at the Lycée Francais, next month, and on top of whatever products I have in stock (pillows, toys, printed shirts from last year), I'm hoping to have a few new things ready, like little kimono tunics and collections of sweaters sporting my own prints. Kyan and Anastasia are, of course, always the first to get them.

Kimono with big pink, mint and coffee flowers, and hoodie with eskimo print.

Halloween

So, Halloween finally arrived. Many kids on the street, much laughing, great costumes, and Kyan and Anastasia brought back so many candies that we don't know what to do with them. Kyan even treated each house with the owl dance (he picked the colors for his costume, he loves pink). Anastasia was dressed as a hedgehog. And Jacqui, our little neighbour, was adorable as a Candy Corn.

Puddles

It must be the Pre-Hallowee spirit which is making kids hyper. Kyan and Anastasia have been jumping all over the place lately. To try to calm them down until the trick-o-treat, we went puddle-hunting. We only found one, but we sure enjoyed it.

And don't miss the little movie at the bottom. No comments necessary...

Pumpkins

We really waited for the last minute to go get pumpkins for Halloween, and there really wasn't many left. That didn't keep the kids from spending a very long time looking for the perfect pumpkins to decorate our front yard.
