French apartment renovations, Day 676: Reading competition

Ivy is so excited--she is a finalist in a school reading competition. She had to pick out a passage from a book and read it out loud. She had to use a loud, clear voice and make it interesting with no errors. The teachers gave grades and the classmates voted on their favorites.

She chose the first few pages of the book "La Fille Sans Nom." Maybe I can get her to read it for all of you 🙂

Eric's parents left early this morning. We hope they will come even longer next year! Eric was up since 3:30 am. First the musicians who practice in teh basement woke us up in the middle of the night with loud yellng and door banging. Then not that long after, he had to drive his parents to the airport (too early for the trams). Then he had to wait for 2 hours to find a parking spot.

I encouraged him to take a nap once he was back.

I had a good run this morning and then have been working on emails, various breech-related tasks, laundry...so exciting, right?

All of the kids have a free day tomorrow. It's a miracle! Dio is planning on going to the beach with some friends and maybe we'll all go there at some point. I could use a nice swim and sunbathe.
