Make-up by Moi!

Ok time to start plugging that I am can officially offer make-up services! So far we have done DAY and NIGHT looks, FLASE EYE-LASHES and SMOKEY EYES in any colour. And this month finally... WEDDINGS!

Am so excited! Dare I wish that I will be doing a wedding this year?? But this might be a good goal no?? If anyone needs make-up done you know who to call... oh you just need to come to Madrid first!

Now it's time to wash my face as I am COVERED in make-up from today's class.

Christmas in Madrid

Click on above for some festive xmas shots!

We spent the end of 2010 with our lovely American/Canadian/Argentinian/Scottish friends! Was lovely mixing lots of traditions and enjoying the comfort of not being snowed in at some airport!!

David stayed 'not ill' for the xmas celebrations which must have been a nice change for the little trooper, it was certainly a joyous 5 days for him mom and dad! Now just knuckling (that can't be the right spelling) down for the 3rd bout of bronchitis... bring it on!!!

Hope everyone else out there felt the love this xmas, as for new years.... we'll be watching other people partying from the comfort of our couch... my how times have changed!

LOL,
The Ms

Merry xmas all you peeps out there!

David dances to Dad's Birthday card

I think David enjoyed Mike's Birthday card way more than he did!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN :)

From a very serious looking vampire!

Yesterday David's daycare 'buddy' bit him in the face, I guess he got overexcited about fancy dress but didn't get the memo that they were vampires Friday not Thursday.

Well so far it's been a really 'spooky', 'terrifying', mainly 'annoying' Halloween week for me - first my wallet got stolen from under my nose and today I got backed into by a lady pulling out of her parking space. Seeing as bad things come in 3s I am seriously thinking of exiling myself in the flat this weekend!!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Update: Nr 3 was a parking fine for 90 Euros... ouch.

David's New Uniform

I love David's new school uniform - for me it's easy to dress him each morning, he gets in a great mood as he seems to realise it's time for daycare and plus it feels so soft and squidgy it makes you want to cuddle with David all the time!!

In the picture D is holding his school diary where they write every day what activities they did that day (e.g. today we played with cars, sang a song in english about parts of the body, etc etc), what he ate and when/if he took a poop and if it was normal in consistency (I find this amusing which tells you something of my mental age).

Mike was initially outraged about the uniform part - I think because it brought back his British school experiences as a small boy. He seems ok with it now as since it's introduction David has not been kicking and screaming like he did.

Although is he really over it? When I suggested a British school for David I got a very firm "no way". So Spanish school for David? American? Swedish? Hmmm I guess we have to think and discuss this a little more...

Segovia Trip

Nothing like the best trip ever to send you crashing into some serious Monday blues! Sign of a good weekend though :)

Thanks to the top trip planners Jen and Ric we went to Segovia for the weekend. We seemed to spend quite a lot of time in various wonderful restaurants eating and drinking like kings. When not eating we were busy entertaining the two adorable little monkeys David and Sadie who were angels the whole time - mom and dads even managed a dinner alone undisturbed on saturday night!

We can't wait for the next trip, click on the below picture to view the album.
