divertissement d'hiver {winter amusement}

we have been finding some very good distractions from the cold this winter season....since the mid-atlantic has been hogging all the snow...geez!!  

i have also been trying to buff up on my french {thanks to a killer app on my iPod} and craving a little trip to europe.  

ah...winter dreams...

...first 2010 visit to Wagamama...tried the new one at the Prudential Center...

...Charlie's first time...pas dans l'utérus {not in the womb}...

oh so good!!!!

kare lomen: a spicy soup made from lemongrass, coconut milk, shrimp paste, red chilies, fresh ginger

and galangal.  

served with ramen noodles and garnished with grilled shrimp or grilled chicken breast, bean sprouts,

 cucumber, cilantro and a wedge of lime

…heaven in a bowl…i am drooling just looking at this picture!!

...discovering how fun it is pour jouer ensemble {to play together}...

{this tent is the best toy we have ever had!}

...seeing just how much we need to put in our purse for an outing...this is a really funny game!  matilda loves to have a great assortment in there at all times...comme la mère, comme la fille {like mother, like daughter}!

...scooter boy...who has figured out how to maximize his potential by carrying one thing in each hand and one in his mouth...so clever!

...and si mignon {so cute}!...

...standing up and trying to walk...and drooling on everything because cutting four teeth at once is fun for all of us!!!...

...taking pictures of each other...

...and trying out new coiffure {hairstyles}...especially buns...and her new favorite hair accessory...the snow white headband!

au revoir pour le moment......
