Six year old sneak out

This morning Petite says "I want to do something and I know we aren't supposed to . if i have a sleepover" I asked "what?" "Sneak out" OMG my heart skipped a beat. My total fear is teenage sneak out running around somewhere at night. I'm thinking WHERE THE HELL did she get this idea? at 6? she still "sneaks" into our bed! So i ask where she got the idea "I don't know" I try another tactic, "what do you mean sneak out?" She replies, "like….out of bed" "OK…..where to?" im imagining six year old girls roaming the streets at night She takes a deep breath and says "ok i KNOW this isn't allowed BUT….sneak to get ice cream….out of the freezer" I had to bite my lip to stop from busting out laughing I gave her a hug "you're right. you're not supposed to sneak out of bed during sleepovers" (thank god she didn't mean sneak out of the house!)

California style

As much as I miss the vibe of Paris, California life seems to suit my kids. I miss living in a city that is literally eye candy. Beauty everywhere you turn, people bustling about, numerous social and cultural events at any given moment (not that I was attending any of those with two little monkeys clinging to me). This week both of my children have walked down to the beach with their schools. That blows my mind. Sure, a field trip to the Louevre sounds impressive. But which is more fun for the kids?
