Decorating School Carnival

Certo non ci lamentiamo!

I try to bring all the little and big things that have occurred in recent days but the number is not insignificant, which is why I struggled to maintain the commitment of the blog, it's really a great challenge for my memory asphyxiated.
- A first novelty is that the age of two years and eight months Tea began to want to play in groups: whereas before there was the game alone or perhaps with one person, now is developing a passion for group games (doing a puzzle together, pull the ball back and stand in a circle, dress dolls with distribution to Mom and Dad materials to play).
not tell you our excitement when, for the first time, Tea has called us into her room and offered us to participate in a game!
- Did you know Cagnes Sur Mer is so named because as we wanted to pay homage to a female dog that was saved during the Middle Ages with its barking the inhabitants of the sleepy little village of the enemy invasion? Wake up i. .. cagnosurmaresi were thus able to respond to the attack and defend their freedom.
How do we know? From a nice lady who we met in piadineria (yes, it was not really a day diet ...) and he told us many interesting anecdote about the Nice 60s.
- Countdown to the start of the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the annexation of Nice to France. It seemed to me to see tears to the statue of Garibaldi in the square but did not want to believe in the miracle ...
- Last Saturday we brought tea to the aquarium in Monaco: the shark we saw only embalmed but since the aim was to see "Nemo" does not tell you the joy in the eyes of Tea when you are faced with a tub full of only small clown fish (at least one million!). As good and industrious parents, now we have the plush "Nemo" ...
- Sunday was the turn of Frejus zoo whose visit, because of bad weather, had already missed a couple di volte. Gli adulti sono rimasti un po' delusi dalla condizione del percorso e della struttura in generale che invece potrebbe essere un bellissimo parco visto che si trova immersa in una bellissima pineta. Gli animali, lo ammetto anche se sia io che Sergio siamo contrari al concetto di zoo, erano in perfetta forma e lo spazio concessogli era piuttosto curato ed ampio.
Va beh, Tea non ha avuto occhi che per l'elefante, animale che, credo di non sbagliarmi, insieme alla tigre e al leone (anche per affinità elettive con i protagonisti del film-passione "L'era glaciale"), le fa subito luccicare gli occhi e battere il cuore (così ci sembra...).
A fine giornata il bilancio è stato il seguente: Sergio se l'è cavata con un mal di testa memorabile, io con un 38 di febbre che ancora non riesco a capire da dove sia arrivato e Tea non faceva che parlare delle caprette alle quali ha dato i pomodori da mangiare.
- Abbiamo consegnato il progetto: tutti coloro che leggono il blog possono ufficialmente incrociare le dita delle mani e, come dice Lalla, anche quelle dei piedi.
- A proposito di Lalla: è stata ufficialmente eletta "migliore pizzaiola 2010 e anni a seguire" da una giuria di esperti piuttosto affamati di leccornie sane e succulente. Ancora ne parliamo e stiamo vedendo come organizzare una piccola attività di pizza al taglio nel centro di Nizza con fornitori unicamente mazzolinesi. Successo assicurato.
- Ieri Tea ha fatto una piccola recita a scuola sul tema dei Color: Because school disorganization and the above-named memory asphyxiated, the lords "azzman" were absent. The writer has officially started the list of maternal guilt.
- Saturday and Sunday we will take a little trip to Brescia but tonight we expect an "open Dinatoire" (we guessed that this is a buffet dinner) at home the parents of Gaia and Stephan, two friends and cronies of Tea.
I was asked to bring a fresh Italian and because, like most of you know, I do not have an oven but a mini-oven, I've gotten a good panna cotta accompanied by a dark chocolate sauce (homemade, eh!) or, alternatively, by a more sauce (also the result of my hands).
Sergio would say, "and Sparagna cumparisci" or "Save (time, in this case) and make a good impression.

Laundry Folding Board

Troppe emozioni?

Ah, yes: the Kapla have been or perhaps the" big kids ", the fact is that on Monday evening Tea there has been delivered by a teacher Anne febbretta to 38 degrees and a nice nose moccolone.
So we started our week, first for the 38 ° and then for a time-awful horror, we saw almost always stay at home enjoying at least 345645154768 times in the film "Ice Age 3", ultimate unbridled passion of Tea.
We did not understand what is being discussed: Tea apparently seemed to be fine but the thermometer continued to say the opposite to Wednesday evening when, officially, the crisis was declared closed.
Tuesday, as you know the echo that view was the news, Nice was hit by a massive tidal wave: by many decades of Nice had not seen such a thing and actually the beaches along the Promenade have all been very bad if not completely destroyed.
Saturday only five of them announced they were open but the awful weather made them desist from their good intentions.
The only good thing it seems it was the swift intervention of the municipal administration than that after a couple of days, in the person of the famous "Monsieur le Maître Christian Estrosi, met all protagonists of the disaster and has made available immediately to not only the facilities required to accommodate the beach (in a pitiful state) but also cheap, fast and very generous with funding.
From our side we locked in our little kingdom, we did not notice anything, except that the rain, and played with Lego while oblivious to two steps from the waves we went crazy: Sergio way home has also historically stated " When there is rain messes all, there must be a queue on the Promenade because all traffic is blocked and do not spend any more. " Only
Thursday we took the school and the usual routine for us then with a rainy weekend, wet and rainy total depression, global and general well.
Almost with relief this morning we reported to school and Tea, I suspect, we were not just Sergio and myself to be lifted ...
short, despite my good intentions just are not able to have that "something new" to tell that I promised you but I swear that I am putting it all: if you just came out a little 'sun!
In return here Thursday and Friday will be a celebration (ascension) and we we'll be in Italy for a short holiday.
A bientôt!
PS of 15.10: the sun came out!

How To Get Rid Of Wrinkles In Projector Screen

Magiche "planchettes"

Therefore, you should know that here a long time ago that if the tantrums and normally per tutta la settimana abbiamo delle bellissime giornate assolate, il fine settimana è spesso ammorbato da cieli plumbei e minacce di pioggia.
Noi arriviamo al venerdì con mille piani per far divertire Tea e poi dobbiamo cambiare idea e limitarci a piccole passeggiatine vicino casa.
Stufa di questa ripetitività e viste le previsioni nefaste per il week end appena terminato (confermate), mi sono messa su internet alla ricerca di spunti, scoprendo che a due passi da casa nostra si trova un kapla bar.
Curiosi?
A parte Enzo (suppongo), credo che a tutti (compresa la scrivente quando si è trovata davanti la notizia) la cosa non dica nulla e quindi, oltre ad un bel link , I tell you that Kapla (or Kapla, as they say here) are nothing more than a Lego-style game, made up of small blocks of wood and colored with natural colors which can be constructed from the simple to the real figures and their 3D models.
The history of these "Planchettes" is really nice and made me curious: well, given the rain, on Saturday afternoon we decided to go in this bar, very newyorkparigino style, see what he could come up with Tea tablets that are made freely available to children.
Never could we imagine what happened!
Well, we entered the beautiful room, we sat down, ready to lead Tea in the room where the children were ready for baskets and baskets of Kapla when the owners of the bar we were told that tea could not play because the space was rented for a private birthday party.
not tell you the disappointment and the difficulty of having to explain to a Tea to say the least distraught that he simply could not play, nor with those beautiful pieces of wood or with all those kids sitting space with a lively Kapla children.
While Sergio and I sipped our coffee as quickly as possible, Tea continued to watch the kids with shiny eyes and almost every time he tried to approach timidly.
short, and the laugh, the owners have pity, have taken Tea and it was presented to the birthday girl, a fresh "cinquenne" named Carole, who then came to our table to ask if she could invite her to tea party.
Tea in brodissimo of giuggiolissime, was entrusted to the gentle and protective hands of another child, Nicole, about seven or eight years is that if the pampered, spoiled-ri, made her play, 's has made the soul (which was conquered and sometimes she came to tell us what was good and what Tea with Kapla was smiling and nice), the supplier of soft drinks and desserts, in short, a paradise on earth.
OBVIOUSLY, Tea had to wait until the cake (chocolate and delicious, I think, since it still Parlotti with dreamy eyes) and the distribution of favors and bon bon for the guests (including Tea had its bag of candy like everyone else) ... In short, a hit and a double satisfaction because Tea on Saturday reminds us often that he played with the "big kids", something hitherto only dreamed of.
us, we managed to thank everyone, including parents, and giving, dutifully and lasting memory, two beautiful boxes of Kapla, a Carole and Nicole, really a magical girl from Peru's ex-communication and carefree smile enviable.
the remainder of the weekend was held in the name of a traditional and peaceful Labor Day, welcomed by thousands of bunches of lily of the symbolic flower of May 1, also called the fleur du bonheur, "the flower of happiness, provided we have found, on the branch there are at least thirteen flowers.
