Marc and I took a new resolution (it's never too late!): we are going to start improving our house.
I explain: one of my colleague who moved house in February of this year and who has three children, already finish to improve her three children bedroom and the au pair's one. I asked her to tell me her secret to do some DIY with three children. She said that they decided to have only one day during the week end for DIY and the other one to child out. When they are doing DIY, their au pair is playing with the children.
I suddenly remembered Christelle complaining about the fact she never has time to play with Arthur because he goes directly in bed when she baby-sits him.
I talked to Marc, I talked to Christelle and we decided that from now, Christelle will look after Arthur while we are doing some DIY at home. We moved more than a year ago now and we did little to improve our house: Marc painted his office (necessary as one of the wall was black!), Arthur's bedroom (also necessary to avoid having a child with epileptic crisis because of the bright colours!), the bathroom (we were in an aquarium before!), Marc's father fitted the laminated floor, Marc's grand father dig the garden and Marc removed the wallpaper in the corridors. There is still some much to do.
Next week end we starting with Arthur's bedroom to finish some details and this way he can have a beautiful bedroom.
Little by little we should progress and not being disgusted of DIY!
