Leisure and sports

Racing again ! Today the race is about the children's extra-curricular activities, just in time too lol. Laura wants to take dancing, singing and violin lessons. Peter would like to do theater and trampoline or gymnastics. For Christopher, it's art and drawing activities. Kévin would like that too but he would much rather go horse-riding. Chris should do some sports too for his back and maybe I have the solution with a circus activity that fits in very well timewise with the art activities, let's ask him about it tonight ! Amandine is still a bit young since I can't stay with her and I have limited time frames to take and fetch people to places. Laura, Chris and Kévin can manage either walking or cycling. Peter should probably go Saturdays since he never got to the Post Office from my work lol ! I got most of the information I need this morning but I'm meeting the lady from "l'école des beaux-Arts" this afternnon and I have to return to the music school at 6pm (with Laura then!). And that's why they haven't done any activities so far, not possible when working full-time... It is great to work only three days a week I have to admit.

I'm trying to control my enthusiasm but I got some good news this morning. I got a phone call from an agency we know concerning a certain house decorated in orange and turquoise blue (rings any bells? see 03/09 entry, 11:09am) and... it's available for rent again, from 01/11 ! Life is crazy sometimes, we had just about resigned ourselves... I must get the latest rent receipts for the agency and then we'll see. I rang Mrs landlord, should have the receipts tomorrow. About giving notice (normally 3 months...), I have to see with Mr Landlord, maybe we can work something out? Anyway, better not say anything to the children before we're sure of moving this time, they were too disappointed last time.

Yesterday we went to "Dédal' Prune" (Pedal Prune as the children say). For those, numerous, who don't know what it's about, it's a corn field shaped into a maze with a sort of treasure hunt to complete Mr Prune Quizz. It was fun, we walked around in circles for about two hours, we split into 3 teams and in the end, Laura and Kévin were the best clue finders ! The most remarkable was Christopher. For the first time I saw a practical application to having a brain shaped and tuned to video-games ! Chris found the exit in two ticks with no hesitation whatsoever and got back in to get Laura and Kévin. He found them and got them out in less than 10 minutes when they were lost, amazing. So, Christopher, King of the Maze ! Maybe I'm going to forgive him for having already lost his school bus pass then. First thing I had to do this morning : get his photo back from the swimming-pool (don't ask, complicated story lol) then go back to the school bus office to get him another card, grrr.
