little boys don't sleep...by kim






Cheese had his first sleepover!

I have time to post..because it is a little after 6am...

It's funny how kids are different...

Pickles friends would have been quiet after the first time I told them, Pickles would have made them! Cheese and his little buddies, informed us at 1am, that they would "try" to go to sleep, but no promises...Luckily, they fell asleep! And woke up before 6am...loudly, talking louder than they normally do:) They are 8, so they keep forgetting...They are only 8..."can't help it"! They are really cute, it's a good thing too, cause they are also loud! They walk loud, they drop the toilet seat really loud, they talk loud...did I mention they talk loud? It's because, it's bright out, that makes their voices louder...their voices have been quiet for so many hours, they just can't stop how loud they are! Funny kids...ahhh, they go home at 10...it's 7:37am...I'm making waffles, they are now outside being loud, but for only a few minutes...they just ate cannoli's....which, yes, I know, will only make them louder!!!

I will post some pictures...as they are up full swing and I am putting my entertaining and teacher hat on...lower your voices...lets do this and that and this....boy they are busyyyyyyy!!

Elections.... Again


This weekend, France will have to vote... again.. This time for the National Assembly (or basically the government). Being an expat I do not have to go vote. My mum will vote for me. I didn't tell her who to vote for though, so I am not sure how this will work (not that it matters since I know she wont vote much differently than me on the first turn anyway).

Anyway, even though I don't vote I still follow the campaign, and I am so surprised how we do not have any choice. I mean let's be serious, on one side you have the party supporting the president. He was just elected, and French do not like to have a weak president, so chances are they will give him a clear majority. On the other side the opposition or socialist party... They are already saying that they want to be a strong opposition, IE they know they will lose. I agree with them when they say they will lose... I mean, their program was already very thin during the presidential election, but for these elections, this is even poorer... their main argument: Vote for us because we cannot give the absolute power to the president! vote for us because we need to be a strong opposition! vote for us because...because... oh yeah I forgot, because Sarkozy is evil...

I said it before, I will say it again... the socialist party did not do its homework for 5 years and have nothing to say at this point... Maybe in 5 years? Anyway... I do not know if Bayrou's party will be a big force but I am thinking it might be an interesting bet to make sure that our president stay open-minded... But once again, We cut our king's head to replace it by a president (just in name though), so will the French people want a half king ruling them, I am not so sure.
