Chalk drawing

The other day when I came home from work, we went down to the road in front of our house and did some chalk drawings and colouring.

Today it rained and all washed away




Ilona drew a picture of herself by herself



And finally here is one Bluet drew inside with crayons

The Gallery

Since Bluet got back from York, and was inspired by Della, her favourite hobby is to draw. For hours she draws various things. A new thing every day, and the pieces of paper with sketches on them accumulate all over the house. Ilona also likes to sit and draw, so often they will both quietly sit around the table drawing with crayons or pencils. Here are some of our favourites

Last weekend we went to the Pirate playground (which is near our first Switzerland house) and found some abandoned chalk lying around, so Bluet and Ilona decorated the tables.

Afterwards, both kids were covered in chalk, ready for the journey home

Finally

And so to finish the tale of our trip to the UK, we spent a couple of days with Gran Helen. While we were awaiting news of Bluet and Ilona's new cousin, we did some feeding of ducks

Climbing of stairs (Ilona's favourite game, but not mine). Much to Ilona's joy, she has mastered climbing several different kinds of stair, including ones made of rock and other great things.

And going through the Grafton Centre to more exciting places (though little was more exciting to Bluet than standing inside this thing, whatever it is).

Then we returned (over a week ago now) to Zurich, and awoke to a foggy Thursday morning.

Fortunately we haven't done much of interest in the last week so you are almost totally caught up. But just to be sure, here are Bluet and Ilona playing together a little bit more at the Viadukt and at home, as well as enjoying the tram and chalk drawing (which Bluet is fascinated to watch gradually was away every time it rains.
