Marching on

Hello again. Not much has happened in March, TBH. Even as I look at my photos to remind me, there really weren't any events of note. So for the Missourians out there, here is what Ilona found and chose to wear the other day:



And here is Bluet's choice from yesterday:


& Ilona in a different outfit, I think also yesterday


& Bluet's painting clothes from Saturday


& Ilona's too small raincoat to take Bluet to kindergarten last week


Yesterday at the animal playground (Wipkingen)


& last weekend riding bikes at the school playground

back to the pirate playground

The weekend after Della, Gus, Simon and Angela left, Bluet needed a stapler. As we knew of a stationary shop near the house we stayed in when we first moved to Zurich, I decided to take Bluet there on the Saturday to buy one. We then stopped by the English language bookshop, and I showed Bluet where our house used to be (not surprisingly, she doesn't remember). However, she does remember the pirate playground next door, and there she happily played for an hour or so, as you can see. It's a great playground, but unfortunately it is about as far away from our house as it is possible to get in Zurich, so we don't go often.

More visitors

As soon as Emily's Mom and Aunts had left, we had more visitors. This time it was Simon, Angela, Della and Gus, all the way from York, as that week happened to be a holiday in both Switzerland and the UK. Obviously the kids loved having their cousins around, not only because they got to go to the dinosaur museum and Spaghetti Factory, and do many art projects
