BE BRIGHT!

 It takes a big effort 

to keep up with all the daily activities,

school and sports schedule. 

E. is doing very well

even if sometimes it's hard

to study after dinner

when you get home 20,30

from training  sessions.

B-DAY

On Sunday afternoon

we celebrated E's birthday:

11 kids running in the garden 

from 14,00 to 19,30 in the afternoon

playing hide and seek, volley ball, rugby, 

basket ball and football .

Fortunately

we had the B-party 

with cake, pizza and sandwiches

in the garage

(I wonder what it woul have happened

to have all these kids upstairs!)

A nice party. E. was really happy.

This year theme was

minions and despicable2

(we went to 3d cinema last weekend 

and both adults and kids liked this movie very much).

Time goes really fast

one more candle on my kid's cake!

2012, 2011 (also here) and 2010 (also here)

looks just round the corner

but 4 years are gone!

Y E S, IT'S FRIDAY !

Very busy week this week

(for all of us)

swimming, football, dentist

driving up and down the valley

everyday, but today!

Alarm clock for everybody at 6,30 this morning:

there was some Celsius

and how thermometer works

 still to study for today.........

But at least it's Friday 

and we have a weekend ahead

I CAN, I WILL

Last Saturday mood 

before the football match

was really NEGATIVE

since the coach said that
the opposing team was very strong
(and indeed it really was).

This time the coach just said
"We will win"
(even if probably they will not)
but this time the mood
is different:

YES
We can win. We will win.

Y O U

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

 And finally sun came back again!

Such a lovely day today.

Mountains are getting more and more colourful

Days are getting chiller and chiller

and Rayman (our cat) is getting lazier and lazier

sleeping most of the time

instead of chasing mice!

FOOTBALL DAY TODAY

Training twice a week

Match on the weekend

Busy kid!

F I N A L L Y !

I've been waiting for so long 

for these stools

and finally

here there are.

M. built them some weeks ago

and I'm really happy about them!

Thanks.

SURPRISE !

And suddenly came the  S N O W 

or at least some kind of "ice cubes" snow .

Not unexpected indeed

(weather forecast had been warning us for days

but we didn't pay so much attention)

So what a surprise when morning light

showed us this white icy blanket covering everything!

It will melt soon. There is still time for Autumn.

Anyway this happened
also in the last years in October
2011 (click here) and 2010 (click here)

but every time here it looks like
the first time

GOOD MORNING AUTUMN !

via

It's getting darker and darker.

Yoda (E's alarm clock) is set to sound on 7,00 o'clock.

M's iphone on 5,45 and mine "inner alarm clock" 

some minutes in between.

I really miss Summer morning light

that fills you with positive energy.

This dark morning makes me sad

and this fog we are wrapped in these last days

doesn't help at all.

SUMMER IS OVER

 This wonderful September is gone

and with October came rain, fog and cold.

Summer is really over.

We need warmer cloths now
