Spring Break -- Week One

We're one week into the term break, and we've been having a very nice time. The weather has been lovely, which makes it so much easier to get out of the house. There are all kinds of little and big things that we never get around to doing while the kids are in school every day, so it's good to have an opportunity to do them. I have decided to do away with the stroller, which makes the kids more tired when we do go out. This way, they are not bouncing off the walls while I'm exhausted from pushing them around.

Pascale has discovered Teletubbies. At age 5. In case you don't know, Teletubbies is made for babies around on year old. They hardly even use any words. And my 5-year-old, who never watched it when she was the appropriate age, is transfixed by it. Hmmm.


Here's Pascale near the statue of Queen VIctoria in Kensington Gardens. We went there to go to the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Playground, only to find it CLOSED for renovations. So distressing. It's supposed to be open next week, so we'll try again.


Since the Diana playground was closed, we went to Westfield Park instead. It's not nearly as spectacular, but they do have sand there.

We went to Richmond Park today and rented bikes. Pascale did really well on the tandem bike. Josephine was in a little seat mounted on Bernie's bike.

Josephine was so exhausted when we got home (see above about no longer taking the stroller) that she fell asleep in front of Teletubbies.
