Tuesday Market

The cheese sandwich man was back at the market today. Dylan stared at him the entire time he was preparing his sandwich.
Dylan at the entire thing before we made it a block. Look, it's miles davis in the background.
Don't worry, there was a break in the rain so the sandwich stayed dry.

Tuesday breakfast

Is it wrong that i'm excited about my tiny new skillet? Ready for an egg.
Coffee press, this is how we do it in France.
Pressing.

Monday Randomness

One of the neighbors left a box of free dishes in the foyer. I picked up a cast iron skillet and these three glasses. They say America's Finest Beer on them... don't tell anyone it's full of panache.
Liam dressed himself after swimming.
That's right DietCoke with Orange. We also have Mojito flavored Diet Pepsi.
Cool building near the kid's school.

Volume

Somedays life is a little too loud.

fete

There was a crazy garden celebration in our local part on Saturday, G and D check it out.
Chloe and the good pigeon.
There was some crazy art stuff going on.

to school

Walking down convention.
Still no teeth.
Back up the stairs for Dylan.
Liam waits for the train on the way home.

To school

Everyone heads down the stairs as quiet as possible(something that isn't easy for Liam).
Down the block to the Metro. I'm gonna have to do something about the broken camera soon but electronics are hella expensive here.
Dylan is having some next level hair issues this fine morning.
Not even Chloe can tame this rat's nest, our solution was to pull the hood down further.
Liam concentrates on keeping his teeth out of the picture. With a strike on the B line the 6 has been wicked crowded, i had to put the camera away after this shot.

Wednesdays are half days

Dylan has found a great new place to pace as we wait to pick up the kids.
Liam is out.

We met up with Gretchen down the block.
and then back down to the metro.

Tragedy at the market

Dylan and i took a break from school to hit the market for the weeks fruits and vegetables. One of the first stalls we always hit is the Lebanese sandwich guy. His booth is usually the first or second one in the market area, today he wasn't there. Dylan stopped in front of his usual spot(occupied buy a dude selling olives) and yelled "CHEESE SANDWICH" as loud as he could.
"Oh great" I thought but i convinced D that we should walk the market and look for the cheese sandwich guy. This resulted in me doing the shopping in my horrible french while Dylan followed, stopping every 10 feet to yell "CHEESE SANDWICH" this went on for 45 minutes. Luckily there was a protest across the street at APEC that involved 4 bullhorns each with a different siren sound(it was pretty tame but i was ready to overturn and torch a car if the opportunity presented itself). On the plus side i bought a piece of cheese that smells like a goat's ass so it should be tasty.

CHEESE SANDWICH

More random Paris

What in the world? This car with a surfboard in it was parked in front of our bakery.
Clean bridge.
Not sure but it looks like crane style.
This crane is huge, unfortunately with a busted camera i didn't quite get the shot.
Big clock.

End of the day Sunday

A momentary truce.
Just walking along.
Liam is still concerted about his teeth showing in pictures.
Looking at the Seine.
