Holidays

This holiday has been mostly spent at home, as two of us have been sick. The weather is turning colder, but the boys still managed to play in the sand pit. This is a sand impression of the landscape of "Lord of the Rings"...can you see the eye of Sauron?

Cleo was lost all day Friday, I couldn't see any squashed cats on the road...then in the afternoon, I heard her meowing in the backyard diagonally opposite our back yard,... she must have easily gotten down, but couldn't get back up. The fences are quiet high and they neighbor has a wire fence all around the edge of her garden. The lady has an allergy to cats, so she just left her there in the yard, waiting for her husband to get home. Hubby was able to go around and put her back up on the fence, so she could climb back down to our yard. Cleo does have a chip, in her neck for ID, but now she has a lovely red necklace, with all of her details...just in case, for the next time.

The youngest, found this lovely Easter artwork in the cupboard, he doesn't remember doing it, but it has his name on it! He's a funny chicken!

Yesterday in Paris...

Yesterday, the eldest and I went to Paris to see a friend and have a big walk about. Around Paris, there are lots of sculptures, so we managed to see a few.

The eldest took these from the train.

A Self Portrait

Waiting at Concorde.

These were the sculptures at Tuilleries.

Niki Saint de Phalle, Nana Fountain.

Close up of the Tree Sculpture.

Sorry it's a bit fuzzy, but here you can see the size of the Tree Sculpture.

'Foucher' is a small chocolate shop, 30 avenue de l'Opera. They have the most amazing selection of boxes. You can choose any box and also select what goes in it (chocolates of course!). I'll be going back to pick up some more boxes for sure. This box is for me and the chocolates are for hubby. They speak english and have the most amazing window display.

Click here to see the site for the shop...they also have a shop 134 rue du Bac!

2014 Mondial de L'Automobile, Paris.

The lovely neighbor across the road, gave us some free tickets to the Paris car show, so hubby and the eldest had fun looking at all of the cars... it was the last day and therefore very crowded.

An Aussie Solar Car...

Both the photographer and the model, were tired after this visit...
