Oh my...

Since August, I found a new job, went to college, found a boyfriend, made friends, got to know places, ate new foods and got drunk (only once) like never before.

Since August, my little one went to kindergarden (or is it preschool?! oh well...).

Since August, my father died.

Since August, a lot of things changed in my life and a lot more is still waiting for a change.

I miss blogging. I really do. But I'm still trying to find balance between all these new things and all the new responsabilities and all the new feelings I have to deal with.

I miss reading your blogs. I really do.

And I hope each and every one of you is doing ok and having a blast in your life. I really do!

Miss you all! Love you all!

Our day

So... This weekend was A.'s dad turn to have him (I really don't like how it that sounds)...
He takes A. to spend every other weekend with him and it's kind of hard 'cause he's with me during my working week and then when I don't have to work, he's away for 2 whole days!
But today we all went to Zoomarine to spend some time together.

I was really mad 'cause A.'s dad was like 40mn late to pick me up and then when we're on our way he entered Albufeira wich is near the park but still a few miles away from it and because we're in August, this place is FULL of people... Spanish, french, german, british, dutch, you name it we have it! So, a loooooooot of traffic. We turned around, got there and went for it :)

After lunch we got to see the dolphins show! :D YEEEEEEY

It was 24 euros (around 34 USD) each adult (children under 5 don't pay) so 48 euros but we got to ride everything A. wanted to without paying more for that...

And we could even go to the pools area but naaaaa........

They have an aquarium...

And in there on the way out they had this...

And it's huge!

So... We had a great time... Well.. A. did, I did, I don't know if his dad did but... I sure hope so...

And man... I sooooooooo love this picture!!! :D

What are you up to this weekend? :)

Hot day, wet plants (and kid)

I'm back at work and it's so bad that I even have stress acne around my jaw line.... It sucks actually... I didn't miss all the stress, paper work, mail to send, smart ass people to not respond to... But I did miss my co-workers and the way it all gets more relaxed after we close to public.

What do we do around here to fight both the stress from the back to work and the heat?

We spray our plants of course... :)

Thursday

After a quick bath (and before another), there we were. A piece of paper, pencils, a cold beer (that one was just for me), add spray bottle and you'll have one happy kid :)

On Vacations!

Yes I am! Until Friday......... *sigh*
And I was going to the beach but it way too hot to leave the house... I think we're going to paint and glue and whatever something today, outside, maybe sitting on our new daybed (wich actually still needs a cover for the sponge used as the seat, so i'll post pics of that when it's finished)...

And I've already "decided" where I'm headed for next year's vacation...

Azores is a archipelago in the middle of the Atlantic... And it's beautiful! It has nine islands and a lot of cows...

That's Pico Island you're seeing, from Faial...

(That box is just like this! But I bought mine in town and not online..)

I love...

What are you loving ? :)

His room

So... My mom had this old bed (that was actually at a friend's house, standing outside in the rain and sun and wind and whatever else.......) that was quite rusty.

I was looking for a bed that could take all the jumping and hiding, and climbing troughout his childhood and this one is perfect I tell you!

I took it to a man to clean the old paint and rust (for 35euros, around 50usd) and then it was painted.

(that's my mom btw)

After a few days of shopping for bed linen, pillows and curtains ('cause I'm too weird and I don't usually buy the first thing I see and like...), we had a bed and a room to set up.

Cute details :)

His art on the wall

What do you think about it? :)
