Rock the Statue Green!

I am really (really) proud of my high school students who made this video so they could enter the 'Rock the Statue Green' competition, a competition which calls upon French and American schools to produce art to celebrate the 125th anniversary of the Statue of the Liberty. The theme? The Statue of the Liberty and the Environment.

I hope you enjoy it!

Smiles,

Happy Birthday Jack

This is Jack's "YES, I'm FIVE" smile...



and



"yes, I've got a Cars' sticker stuck to me forehead but I don't care" smile :-)



Jack had a grand birthday, with presents and cake and a cool party with some of his friends... but he also had a cute wee sad moment. It was the end of the day and he was getting ready for his bath when he caught sight of himself in the bathroom mirror and starting crying: Maman, look, I'm not five... I'm still four. You lied to me, I can't be five...LOOK, I'm the same as yesterday. I'm still four!"





Then, one week after his birthday, we moved from our apartment to the apartment at the other side of Jack's bedroom wall. The reason is simple, our apartment is sold and our new house is just about bought (we should get the keys in the next couple of weeks). As we've about 6months renovation work to do in the house, we're going to be renting until (at least) the summer. So far, so good as our new apartment is very similar to our old one, cosy, comfortable and a complete mess of kids toys most of the time.

hugs n all that,
