France Day 1: Paris

-

We’re in France! We first had tickets to go to France in 2020, but, well, that didn’t happen and we took an RV trip instead… Then with everything had was going on with Pat’s mom, we went sure that the trip was going to happen at all… But it did and we are here!

I think Josy was the most excited. While we were getting our luggage at the airport, but he kept saying “I can’t believe we’re in Paris!!!” Meanwhile Gabe told me that it didn’t look like he thought it would. Um, that’s because we’re still at the airport train station…

Both boys decided to stay up on the last flight and did not sleep at all. So they both fell asleep on the train into the city.




Once we got to our Airbnb, we also slept for 4 hours, which made us all feel better. However, waking up the boys was incredibly difficult…and the both fell asleep again on the metro. Jet lay is dumb.


But then we got to turn Eiffel Tower and that finally woke them up.


By the time that we got tickets, all the elevator tickets were sold out, so we got to take the stairs. Josy definitely did the best with that. I’m not sure how he got to be such a big kid…





We made it all the way up to the second platform, which was as high as you can go on the stairs. Then we had to get out traditional Eiffel Tower pictures.






Then we went back to our Airbnb and had dinner at the restaurant across the street. The boys had to Cheers their cokes.


And then Josy promptly fell asleep. Luckily we were right across the street from our house…


And that was day 1…

Josyisms

Josy is a funny little boy. The things that come out of his mouth are the best. And sometimes he describes things in a really funny way. Yesterday we went on a bike ride and there was a worm on the plastic wind cover, but he kept telling me that there was a worm on the windshield and it took me a while to figure it what he was talking about. I thought he saw a stick on a car’s windshield that we drive past… J: We need to get out our Halloween decorations. M: Oh, we already did. J: Where are they??? M: We don’t have any. So they’re already out. J: We need to get some! M: No. I don’t do anything scary. J: It’s not scary. It’s just a pot. M: What? J: The pot at Home Depot, with the fake blood. We need to get it. M: No J: It does not give me nightmares. The guy with the beak and the goggles, that gave me nightmares. ———— J: It would be cool if my lunchbox had batteries! Then I could play video games! M: That would be weird. J: Not weird. Awesome. Then I could play video games all the time....

Ski Lessons

Josy started ski lessons for the year! It was our first time up the mountain and, um, there’s very little snow so it was a good thing it was our first time… But we had fun. While Josy was at his lesson, Catherine and I got to go skiing together for the first time ever.  Then after lunch Josy and I got to ski together for awhile. And this one is entirely too independent for his own good and decided that he can go up the chairlift all by himself…and then not wait for me at the bottom. He even went up with a friend! Meanwhile these two were in Seattle at an appointment, missing all of the fun!

Never a Dull Moment…

Once again, I am behind in posting. In my defense, the last couple of weeks have been pretty crazy… Pat was out of town for work for most of a week. Then he came back sick. Then a few days later his parents started having some struggles, so he flew up to help and was gone for most of another week. Meanwhile Gram and Gramps were here, Bella turned 19, it’s Spring Break, the internet went out for a few days and Josy’s school caught on fire. So, um, never a dull moment? Meanwhile, here are some pictures of the last few weeks… Apparently Lucy likes sleeping in the snow gear. It was sunny, so we went to play in the woods. Someone needed to have the entire giraffe family listen to the story. Gabe made a fishing pole…and caught a catfish. St. Patrick’s Day dinner The last day of ski lessons, which was good because there has been very little snow. We had to make a Chicken Pot Pie for Pi day. Gabe sang at his school talent show. Every night I put the boys to bed in their own bed and when I wake...
