Primeiro corte de cabelo da Alice
Semana passada minha missão foi levar Alice para seu primeiro corte oficial de cabelo. Enquanto a gente esperava, eu expliquei pra ela o que iria acontecer e como as crianças da sua idade, Alice se sente mais confiante se sabe o que vai acontecer. Coisas desconhecidas e inesperadas podem causar ansiedade, então foi bom ela ver o processo com uma outra menininha, na frente dela. Quando a vez dela chegou, eu não podia acreditar como ela se saiu bem. Ficou quietinha, só curtindo o trato e se olhando no espelho. Tão crescida essa minha filhota! E de bonus, agora ela consegue ver melhor, sem cabelo nos olhos!! hehe Missão cumprida!…

Canada explained
* Hey everybody, thanks for the sweet comments on here and Instagram… nice to hear from you! ** Second hey to William – Aqui vai um link para um ótimo texto postado pela Mirella do Mikix no Mundo, falando exatamente sobre a carta convite e o que deve/pode constar. Espero que ajude. 🙂 /// Hope everybody had a great weekend. We had a very busy one, with lots and only of improvements in the house. Sorry that it’s all I talk about, but this is all we’ve been doing lately… 🙂 Just to start this week in a good mood, here’s how to explaining Canada in a fun way:

Winter preview
Fall has given clear signs that is leaving and winter is just around the corner showing its powers. On Saturday we had the first snow here in the capital, about 1cm, which was all gone by Sunday due to the temperature (who follow me on Instagram may have seen a picture of it…). The most incredible is the view in front of the house and how much it has changed in less than a month. October 18th November 9th November 14th 🙂

DIY – Blackout blinds – the beginning
Alice’s bedroom and the whole house already have blinds. They probably date back to when the house was new, in 1998. We actually like the fact that we don’t have to spend money on blinds right now, since they are all custom fit (as usual), but they do look a bit dated, with their off white and brass colors. But my point here that Alice’s room has, along with the blinds, a very useful blackout. Very useful yes, but NOT our style. First and easy fix, cutting the bottom part, leaving with a much cleaner look. Next step, in my intent to reuse them, is to actually replace the fabric…

Month of change
October was a month with lots of action, new house, new job, new routines, visits and so much more… Here’s a video to celebrate this past month… /// Alice as Minnie Mouse on Halloween. /// Alice putting together the animals. /// Alice learned how to ride a tricycle! /// The song was recorded at a restaurant we went this past weekend. They had a musician playing live and he made up a song for Alice, the only child in the restaurant at the time. He was very nice (and talented) and she (and us) loved it! Unfortunately, I don’t know his name. Hope November is even better! For everybody…

Uma tarde na fazenda Saunders Farm
Há alguns finais de semana, fomos visitar uma fazenda nos arredores de Ottawa a convite dos amigos Carlos e Cláudia. O dia prometia chuva, mas mesmo assim resolvemos dar um pulinho lá pra aproveitar o dia. Diego não pode ir, mas prometeu que na próxima ele compareçe… 🙂 A Saunders Farm fica a aproximadamente 40 minutos do centro de Ottawa. Tem diversas atividades, especialmente nesta época de Halloween, com coisas de horror, muitas abóboras e as tradicionais atrações da fazenda, que incluem labirintos verdes, animais de fazenda, parquinhos temáticos, shows e passeios de trator. Nós aproveitamos um pouco de tudo, até um passeio de trator com emoção, no caso, abaixo…
