Halloween (Lisbon)

Trick or Treating just ended and I thought you all might like to see how scary it is on Halloween in Lisbon!

We had a little over 100 kids come to our house. These are a few of them.

Spider man and his big shoes!

Antoine got a new costume yesterday!

He also loves the shoes! So comfy!

Antoine a reçu un nouveau deguisement hier!

Et il adore les chaussons, super confortables!

pumpkin carving and shoes

Owen and Isaac in their shoes...no, Isaac isn't drunk.

Pumpkin carving party...Isaac carved Brutus the Buckeye freehand onto his pumpkin!
Owen did a hockey puck and a hockey stick. The main thing is that he did it all by himself! He pulled out the seeds, drew the stick & puck and cut it all alone.

Sunday Walk

We finally took our walk. It was a brisk Fall day. I got that long awaited photo of Ely on her bike. I know some of you will demand a drug test but I can vouch for her that no steroids were taken for todays ride.

Making a mask... Faire un masque

This is my new project, create a mask, so first we have to cast our face, here are some pictures!! Pretty scary but interesting!

Notre nouveau projet est de faire un masque, et pour commencer on foit mouler notre visage, voilà quelques photos!

Un peu effrayant, mais c'est super rigolo !

My sweet potatoe is growing! Ma patate douce pousse!

Hello! So here is a picture of my famous sweet potatoe! It's growing SO fast!!!

Coucou! Voila une photo de ma celèbre patate douce! Elle pousse super vite!!

Les fameux coussins de celui dont on ne dira pas le nom !

Pour Ngoc, enfin les photos des coussins de celui que vous savez ! On taît le nom, sinon la veuve va venir après nous !!!

For Ngoc, finally a picture of the pillows my mum made for Antoine. They're so pretty but wa cannot name the caracters because of the widow, she's craving for more money!

Fall Colors in Lisbon

What a difference a few days make. This morning we awoke to a sunny day and some changes in the colors. We are still extremely late with the leaves but it is inevitable. I will probably bore you all with my pictures but it is my favorite time of year and we have some beautiful scenery. Today I will try to get Ely on a bike ride so expect a few more pics. Here are a few from our house.

Lily's last day in Ohio

We hated to see her go but someone needed to settle the transit strike in France.

More sweet potatoe!! Encore des patates douces !!

Hello! Here are more sweet potatoes! It's growing!! I want to keep it in my room in Paris :)

Coucou tout le monde! Voilà d'autres patates douces! Elle pousse maintenant!! Je vais la garder dans ma chambre à Paris :)

A week-end in Toulon

We visited Loïc's submarine and went to the zoo.

Nous avons visité le sous-marin de Loïc et Antoine s'est fait un copain au zoo.
