Aleluia!

Sunday. My little town's streets were all dressed up with flowers, people and faith.

Streets are decorated with flowers (wich takes pretty much the whole night to do) and by 11 am as soon as the religious service ends, the Flowered Torch Procession begins.
The leader of the procession cries "“He resurrected like he said!" and all men respond "Aleluia! Aleluia! Aleluia!"

One of the torches carried

How was your Easter? Hope it was as good (or even better) as mine!

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy your loved ones :) * * *

Flowers and pins

We have a Easter tradition where I live... Being such a religious region, we have an Easter celebration called Procissão de Aleluia where men take torchs made of wild flowers and celebrate the ressurrection of Christ.

Little kids also take flower torches and we had to make a few for our kiddies :)

First, get flowers... A lot of them! And as many colors as possible...

Then decorate the polystyrene previously shapped with a sharp tool...

Each flowers takes at least 1 pin to hold on to the polystyrene so it's a lot of work.... But worth it :)

These two were for the girls you were in the celebration and they actually won a prize! 6th and 10th place, not bad huh? :)

And these two were for the little ones... The left one for my godson and the right one for my little man :)

And this was only the making part... The fun part was still to come!

Wanna go for a walk?

Friday, a great sunny day, and there we were, sitting at home doing nothing...
We grabbed a little snack and went nature exploring!

And finally you can tell it's Spring!

We played, ran, jumped, ate our snack, and went to see my grandmother. On our way back, we stopped by an old house of ours wich is full of old stuff, just in case there was something there I might like for our new place...

See that blueish table in the back? My mom told me she used to run around that so her grandad wouldn't catch her when she didn't behave...
I did like a couple of tables but right now I cannot afford to fix them :/
Oh well... Maybe next month!

How was your Easter? :)
I'll post some photos of our weekend in these next days so stay tunned :P

Have a great day! * * *

Welcome!

With a "new" house, where to start?

The living room

We're (mom and me) still cleaning it up 'cause seriously... those people that were there before were such pigs... I mean, the floor... You know the little gaps between the tiles, gosh.... You wouldn't imagine the amount of dirt that came out of there :|

Hallway

It's still pretty empty but we already have the bathroom almost ready, a fridge, my mirror, and a brand new bergère!

I wanted a bergère since I got the mirror... Don't know why but before that, that kind of style wasn't really my thing... Boy, was I wrong!!! I really want to have better pictures of it... But here's one:

One of the things that got me reaaaaaaally excited with this place was the big terrace for my little guy to play! I can already see his painting stuff out here and both of us playing :)

I'll show more one of these days but now, it's friday, is a holiday, what am I doing at home?!
Nothing, I tell you... That's why we're out for some nature exploring and great grandma visiting.

Hope you all have a great day!
Enjoy your Easter!
Bless you all * * *

Work, rest and love

Gosh...... What a busy day!!
Because tomorrow is a holiday (Holy Friday), the government gave us (well, "us" who work for the government), the afternoon off to enjoy the holiday and because Sunday is such a big day in our town, to prepare for the weekend :)

And we even had a very famous morning (Praça da Alegria) and afternoon (Portugal no Coração) tv show right here where we live, actually 100 metres from my new place :P So a lot of famous portuguese entertainers and faces from tv. Quite exciting for our little town!

And today I bought the most beautiful bergère for my bedroom.... And I'm absolutely going to post photos of it 'cause I'm just so proud for finding it lol

So... a lot of work, shopping, and then helicopter seeing with the little guy :)

And tomorrow, we have a house and a bergère to take pictures of!
Hope you all have a wonderful day! * * *

A new page.

So, this is it.
We have a new house :)
It's perfect for us two.
My little guy is actually kinda excited with the idea of having a play room!

A lot has happened the last months... I left "our" family house, moved in with my parents, had a job... Lost the job... Got another the job and now a 2 bedroom apartment for us 2 :)

Life is finally getting on tracks in one way or another. I'm not sure about how life will be from now on but, today is just fine. Tomorrow? We'll see...

Of course, I'm taking pictures from our place to show you :D

Now today but it's a promise.

Hope you all have a lovely day! * * *



p.s.- I'm still working on the blog aspect so.... be nice to me... ok? :)

Sun, sand and sea

I can't think of a better way to spend an afternoon...

It was February but the beach was full of people enjoying the sun, walking on the beach. Kids running, tourist having a drink, families laughing... It was so nice :)

And you know what this means... Summer is almost around the corner... YEY!
