After market

Gretchen and Dylan can't believe it. We usually do our shopping at the market and the head home, but we had other errands and had to go back by after the market had been broken down for the day.
Those are gulls cleaning up after one of the poisson sellers, Liam would have had a field day.
Kick ass little cleaning trucks.
Mounds of boxes, bad fruit, fish parts and who knows what else.
Some of the homeless were going through the fruit.
Piles of ice kept fish and meat cold.

Gretchen ignores all the trash, Dylan rocks out.

What day is it?



Christmas lights are going up on the Marie.

Out and about Nation

Even though i stop at Nation four times a day I've never left the station but on Sunday we had to hunt down an open pharmacy and that meant exploring the southside of the 11th.
Pretty cool statue in the middle of Place de Nation. What, only one bare breast?
G looking for the platform for the 9.
Maybe it's down this escalator.
Or down this under construction hallway.
Success! Pretty sweet yellow walls.
The winter circus is sold out.
Nice goose statue. Alright, the whole breast is bare.
Awesome wheatpaste piece by Natures Revenge.
Lets strike!

Parent teacher conference

I've fixed D up with big headphones and my first mp3 player loaded with the Lion King soundtrack and some book on tape. A little less conspicuous then his firing range headphones.
Parent teacher conferences last night, that means instead of going home and then getting right back on the metro to come back to school we hang out in the park. Dylan still rocking.
Chloe in the midst of a snack.
Dylan rides.
and claps.
Liam also applauds from the top of the rock pile.
It was dark by the time we left.

Arttack

Let's paint.
Chloe made D a sheriff(check the badge).
Work
Is that a orange mountain.
Still working.
Don't mind the laundry.

This fella showed up at the kid's school as they were getting out.
Chloe wasn't havin any of it.
I made another soup for dinner, i think i'll call it turd soup.

In the hood

Dylan decided we should go to the park on wednesday, we went. Look at how terrifying he looks.
Liam laughing manically. Do you see the little girl on the left? She asked if she could take a turn on the horse, "Pardon Monsieur, blah blah cheviel blah blah sil vous plait? Liam got off the horse and said loudly to me "I hate that little girl".
Dylan takes a urn. This is why he likes this park.
Dylan using his super powers ... you will fix mac and cheese for dinner, you will fix mac and cheese for dinner.
Liam inadvertently being nice to Dylan. Liam was pushing really hard in an attempt to get Dylan off the horse but D just laughed.
Voltaire after a wash. The sidewalks get hosed down at least once a week in this part of Paris. It seems like they are always cleaning the street.
If you leave your couch on the sidewalk on our block for too long(three days) it's gonna get tagged.
