December So Far

Just when we think we have exhausted every single park possibility in the area, we find a new one. Seb is a climber so this is just the right level of dangerous to keep him interested. 

It has been so warm and sunny that we haven't had to deal with putting the trampoline away or getting a cover for it. Both Freddy and Sebby go straight to it in the mornings before or after breakfast. 

 I brought a pretty depressing Christmas tree home and I couldn't bring bring myself to put it in the living room and make it our official tree.

 Chillier nights mean a lot of card games at the table in front of the fire. Tomás and Freddy are my best card players (Zita is not a fan :( )  with Blackie and Prosciutto taking a lap when it´s available.

 Prosciutto will not give up on his lap-dog phase.

The boys and I had a great day at the Expo last week on a gray, but balmy day.

 Sebby was beyond excited about riding in this car.

  We never get pumpkin patch pictures so I thought I would at least attempt a "tree lot" picture. Doesn't Sebby look happy to stand there and smile?

 We thought it was too risky to take an already wrapped tree so the lady kindly dragged this one to the back and wrapped it for us.

We were all too happy to bring this tree in and get the lights on straight away.

 My phone is full of Prosciutto-Sebby cuddles. I look tired in all of them, but this is cropped nicely. It also gives a good view of Sebby's self haircut. We had to shave his whole head.

Rugby has been tough going. Mooji's team lost two games in a row  by one and two points, respectively. For both games they had more tries than the opposing team, but lost in the last minute or two because of a penalty kick. Still, it is a huge improvement from last year when they wouldn't have had a chance against these top teams. 

Next weekend they play their rival Cascais, who they already beat last month. Mooji has a concert the night before the game and I'm  sure it will be last time he goes to a concert before a rugby game. Let's hope his allergies don't act up :)  

Blackie's best poker face

Sunday evening cards by the fire is the best.

Christmas Train

The Christmas train was up and running for a few days until it just stopped working. My well of patience has run dry for train troubleshooting, and Moojie's has too. Such a bummer.

Happy Weekend

This guy has gotten up to so much mischief around the house lately. I don't even want to add up the cost.
