Time for trees


Cuando tenemos unos días de vacaciones ocurre esto:

Las niñas se despiertan más temprano que nunca. Y quiero decir muyyyy temprano.
"Quiero ir a desayunar"
"¿Puedo pintar?"
"¿Puedo ir a jugar?"
"¿Me bajas el libro ese que está en la balda alta, que yo no llego?"

Y tras desayunar:
"¿Ponemos el árbol?"
"¿Ponemos el árbol?"
"¿Ponemos el árbol?"

Sí, éste es el fin de semana de poner el árbol, y lo saben, de poner en común listas navideñas. Pero también es tiempo de reunirnos con amigos y de pasear por Getxoarte. Quién sabe igual veo algo tan fascinante que no tengo más remedio que ponerlo en mi lista de deseos...

........................................................................................................


This is what happens when he have some days off:

The girls wake up earlier than ever. And I mean reallyyyy early.
"I want breakfast"
"Can I play?"
"Can I draw?"
"Could you reach for that book on the top self?"

And after breakfast:
"Can we put up the Christmas tree?"
"Can we put up the Christmas tree?"
"Can we put up the Christmas tree?"

Yes, this is the weekend when we put up the tree and they know it, and this is the weekend when we gather all our christmas lists. It is also a time for meeting with friends and to walk around Getxoarte, the local art fair. Who knows, I might as well see something that I can't help but include in my own wish list...

children just somehow KNOW when it is a weekend or holiday. our girls flew out of bed unbelievably early this morning (saturday) - they would have never woken up that early on a school morning!

and you know what? i think my spanish is getting better, thanks to you. now i try to read and understand the spanish part of your blog posts first, and then i read the english to find out how much i did (or didn't) understand. thanks for the lessons :)

Hehe, my little cousins always get up really early when people are trying to sleep-in. It must be something all children have in common :)
I love these photos.
