The last couple days have been spent just kickin' it around the house and they have been wonderful! Yesterday we drove out to the large grocery store and did a full shop. I made a slow cooked pot roast and today I am making tacos for some missed flavors.
It has been very relaxing to take it slow these past few days and good for Lilah to have a little more time to romp around. The only problem with being here is I have to tell her "no" every 5 minutes as she tries to do things like open the oven, climb up the steep set of stairs, eat electric cords, etc. It is especially difficult because the main living space is the kitchen. It is simply not practical to purchase the equipment to childproof it given we are only here for another month however she is mostly likely sick of hearing "no" and having things taken away from here. When she accepts it, she romps in a play pen type thing Rene got us however she gets bored of it after a while and wants free run of the entire kitchen.
After a slow morning today, we went back to the park we visited a couple weeks ago. We were hoping to see the area in the way back however it was already closed for the winter so instead we returned to the lake. We had fun crunching in the newly fallen leaves.
Unfortunately, The Bean is sick right now which is making sleep very difficult for her. It took me two hours of reading, singing, rocking, etc to get her to sleep last night and she pretty much whimpered all night long so no one got any sleep. Her face is dripping snot and covered in crust. All together a not pretty story but at least it is nothing serious.
Tomorrow, we are going to see Valence and visit an Enchanted Forest (kids attraction). It sounds like it will be full of cool things for Lilah to see and is only an hour away, which for here is not far at all. Not sure whats on tap yet for the rest of the week but then we go to the French Riviera for a long weekend. Here is a picture of where we will be staying. Have I mentioned how much I LOVE air b&b? We are paying $110 a night since it is off season. During summer it goes for over $6k a week.
Well, that's all for today. Except for the bad song of course. I really cant get over how each day there is a new one to share. I am really craving some good music to listen to in the car since we have to drive so much. There is truly nothing but crap and talk I dont understand on the radio. At least they dont bleep out the naughty words which for some reason still cracks me up.
