Halloween in March!!! No it's the school Carnaval...















Today, Chloe and Dylan had their annual end of the year carnival...
Witches, cow boys, indians, cave men, africans, medieval characters, etc... paraded threw-out all of Bazainville...
Happy kids with hugs smiles, it was like halloween at the end of March....a burst of color on a saturday morning...
Chloe's class has been working on a big project concerning AFRICA....learning the history, culture, even corresponding with students from a school there...it has been a great adventure for the kids...they ended the big project with a play that they have been working on....a famous African story teller came to the school to read the kids several African fairy tales (comptes des fees ), the kids then mimed the stories read out-loud by their french teacher...
It was quite funny and very creative...so as you can see Chloe was dressed as an African Princess...
Dylan a bit more on the wild side decided to be a pre-historic man....a cave man... how sexy....
It has been a fun morning, we are now expecting Lola for the weekend....
hope you all started the day of great...
kisses and happy weekend

My grego's 40th Birthday...


What a Birthday party.....
Hello family and Friends,
Saturday night Gregory had the surprise of his life….
February 25th Gregory turned 40 and we blew out his candles while on vacation in Megeve…. gave him his presents, and spoiled him the way he ought to be….
But what he wasn’t expecting was what I have been planning for the past two months…. a Sexy-Surprise B-Day Party, re grouping the old gang from Paris and all the great new friends we have made over the years of living out in the country (suburbia)….
Meeting point his warehouse at 7pm on the dot….
Gregory’s Arrival time 8pm….
Under what pretext, showing the new lines to very important Italian agents…
Mounir and Claude two of his business partners were to take care of him all day so I could go in and finish all the decorating with my team of super girlfriends…
Well it worked as a charm, he didn’t suspect a thing…even as he arrived and saw all the balloons that decorated the stair case with the number 40 all over, he thought the guy up stairs was having a 40% off sale party…. What a geek my husband…
And what waited for him inside just blew him away….
The theme…Red and Black….
Poster size pictures of him as a child decorated the space, a fancy all out display of Balloons done by our friend Monique, A delicious spread of Italian food from Buongustaio created by our friend Marco, fun music, a slide show created by me and titled ''The Perfect man''... (Gregory’s life) accompanied by songs such as Wild thing, you’re the one that I want, hopelessly devoted to you, we go together, why can’t this be love, My perfect man…
It came out great…. then the hot sexy surprise...two sexy strippers Katia and Jessica who left all the men with their tongues hanging over their shoulders… I then rolled out a cake done by an American English teach, a Formula1 circuit and a Ferrari…all in chocolate cake…As he blew out his candles an enormous balloon full of red petals exploded and filled the room… we all pitched in for a great present…and May 27th we offered Gregory and two of his friends a Day at the circuit Club of Magny-Cour driving a F3 monospace… a day that they guaranteed will be one he will never forget, + a bonus on the 15th of May he is invited to the VIP of formula1…
We had a bath of emotions Saturday night. A night we will long remember….
Thank you all for coming , some more great memories that will long live in our hearts…
I’m sorry that all of you who are in the US live so far, but know that you were all there with us , I had all of you in my presentation….
Thank you all, and as my father always says, ''take the time to smell the roses''...
Enjoy life and every moment of it…
I send you all much love and plenty of sunshine…
Andrea
p.s. thank you for being in our lives…

To my Grego....
Mon ami, mon amour et mon mari... L’amour de ma vie, j’ai tellement de chance de t’avoir... chaque jour mon amour pour toi deviens plus fort, plus passionnĂ©e... Nous avons encore de nombreuse annĂ©es de bonheur devant nous... Merci pour la vie magnifique que tu m’offres chaque jour...
Je t’aime
Happy Birthday my love..
