this and that, and moving to France

IMAG0160
{Look at these two. While I made dinner, they sat sweetly together and looked through an old box of Patrick's football cards. I overheard Henry say to William, "Daddy knows what these say. We'll have him read them to us when he gets home."}
Tonight I was going to jump on to send a few quick emails and then be going. {I was going to skip my blog.} I was going to head straight to bed and curl up with my phone turned new Kindle {again, thank you Dan} and read the book I sort of accidentally downloaded {when I touched the "Buy Now with 1-Click" button I really didn't think it would actually work}.
I was going to do those things, but,
I stumbled upon this blog. A designer, a mom, six children, she recently moved to France and is going to spend the next year there with her family. She is making the move sound so easy - like even WE could do it. This tree house is in the backyard of their rental home there. 
These are their neighbors. I mean, there are chickens down the road from us, but this is France and just that alone romanticizes these chickens. Did I mention their children are named Oscar, Ralph, Olive and Maude (to name a few). Cute, cute, cute.
I really am going to go now. Do you want to see what I sort of, accidentally bought from Amazon and therefore now must read?
Goodnight friends! Or should I say Bonsoir mes amis!

Chris, all I'm going to say is Tori Spelling. Really?

Uncharted Terri"Tori". Sounds spellbounding. Let me know how it ends.

Those boys are too cute in that picture, and I love how sweet they were being together. Patrick has a big collection of cards!

You know I read Tori's last book in two days! ha ha! I wish you had one clicked the real book so I could borrow it :-)

Love you!

Or-Eh-Voih! (Sorry I don't speak French, but I will not be going to France with you and Sara). ha! You can have chickens on the farm and name them Frenchy and feel all fancy right where you are. :) It's not where you go, but who you are that matters, so carry on with your French ways in FC! :)

About the football cards I like when Henry said "Daddy knows what these say..." so sweet.

That is funny that you "accidentally" downloaded that book! :) :) :)
