Tonight I gave the kids the last bathtime and made the last dinner that I'll ever do for them. :( I haven't been too emotional about any of it this week, but now I'm starting to think about it. I took photos and more video today...... I don't ever want to forget them, and I'm doing my best to document enough so that I can always go back and look at how it was.
Tomorrow I'll do the regular routine one last time...it will be hard even leaving their school at the end of the day...I like a lot of the mothers and their teachers, and especially all the little French children that know me. We are going to have a little party in Tiph's English class...I made 2 apple tarts tonight for the kids. I will videotape in there too.
And then I'll do the last poney lesson with them......even though I wasn't a big fan of that, I'll have fun with it tomorrow.
I've talked to the kids about it being my last day, and they understand I think. They know I'm "content" and that I'm going home to my family and friends. They also know that we'll see each other again in 2 weeks after their April vacation...and we'll have a last big family dinner, and exchange little gifts. Then Virginie will bring the kids with us to the airport to say goodbye.
Oh my gosh........ I'm going to cry. :( I will miss them, and especially their little voices. Even sitting in my studio I can always hear Matt's little voice..."Papa, qu'est-ce que tu fais? Papa. Papa." hehe, he's so cute.
ooooooooookay gotta stop typing so I don't get too emotional yet.
wish me luck! i still have time left in Paris to play and have fun, so no goodbyes yet!

What are your plans until the 7th? Isn't that still 2 1/2 weeks? That gives you a lot of time to see Paris and surrounding areas. Would you ever want to take a train to Normandy? (I don't know how far that is from you...)
Enjoy your day with the kiddos. Make some good last memories. :)
the kids are on another 2 week vacation from school starting this weekend....so my job is done tonight.....I am going to play in Paris! I want to go to Giverny and Chateau Fonatainebleu (day trips). I'm not travelling anymore (financially)...I'll go with Mom to Chatearoux for 2 days and spend 5 days with her...otherwise just seeing more in Paris! I'm in the studio til the 24th, then staying in Paris with my mom's girlfriends, and also my friend Ashley here in Bougival....then a "going away" dinner in St. Germaine with the family and kids right before I go...
