Today in Italy is Kids Day ; )
Inside kindergarden kids have made many images of schools and kids trying to explain the right of the kids to learn, to be loved, to be cared of, to be free, to have the right to play, sleep well and live in peace ; ) Momochan too has made a little image which togather with all the other made by her mates has been hanged at the entrance of the kindergarden ; )

5th bday Momochan ; )))

Since a few weeks we were organizing to preapare a celebration for Momochan's birthday today, the choice is simple because on monday daddy is free from work and relatives could come on visit for dinner, so daddy has prepared a list of ingredients to prepare sushi as our relatives like sushi so much.
My duty is to prepare and cook the roasted meat and veggies and decorate the house, balloons, flags and others, order, buy and wrap in a cute paper our presents ;) So it has been established that relatives shoud arrive around 20.00.
Before that, daddy in the kitchen prepares sushi, roasted meat is already cooking with veggies in the oven, I have prepared decorations and table and Momochan is preparing designs to give to the uncles and cousins as a memory of the day and as a "thank" for the presents ;) 19:40, the bell rings, some of the relatives are already arrived, oncle, aunt and the cousin, in a half an hour time also granny and the last cousin with wife and baby arrive.

In the kitchen daddy is cooking and moving quickly to prepare sushi, gyoza, veggies and other foods.
Well this time Momochan has a tons of presents, there is a packet from granny, one from me, one from daddy, one from aunt and oncle, one from cousin and anothering from the other cousin and family, she has plenty this year HEHEHE
Momochan plays around and shows her room to the aunt and cousins while the other look around and peep in the kitchen to see what daddy is preparing. Soon is time to sit at the table and starting from salami and wrapped grissini with ham, wee jump at sushi rolls and vegetable and chicken grilled gyoza.
In the meantime I have to wash dishes to prepare for roasted meat and cake, I do not have many dishes and to make 9 people eat I have put togather two different set od dishes, tools and glasses !!!
As the dishes are clean,  daddy cut the roasted meat and put veggies while granny takes dishes to the table, Momochan is nearly full, she has eaten salami and ham and after she has had gyoza and also asked for more, she has eaten 6 !!!
So she says she doesn't like so much the arrosto, she is used to eat another type made like a big meatball but in special occasion we cannot serve ;)
The evening goes on, parents talk, Momochan plays with baby cousin Camilla who also is celebrating 6 months togather with Momo, daddy goes in and out of the kitchen, I wash dishes and organize, until comes the moment to eat the cake ;)
Table is cleaned and new dishes and high glasses for champagne are taken, inside the kitchen wee light the special 5 year old candle and take in the livingroom for Momochan to blow.
I thought Momochan was joking when she asked daddy to give her an enormous slice duble than the one I received but really she did eat it all !!!! : O GOSH !!!
After the cake Momo opens the presents, each present opened she gives the correspondant design she has prepared: granny packet contains a Peppa Pig plush which lights and sound, oncle and aunt packet contains a pink cute Peppa Pig sweater, counsin packet contain a 100 pices puzzle, my packet contains a Ikea plush, daddy packet contains a Nikon camera and the other cousin packet contains a little kichen to play "chef" ;) he starts to assemple it togather with Momochan who wants to play and pretends to serve coffee to everybody ;)
Nearly midnight, is time for "sayonara" as baby Camilla is not yet used to go bed so late. Soon everybody has gone, Momochan has totally disappeared when I relalized when I realized she hass already washed and put pijamas, jumped in our bed holding her new dreaming Peppa ;)
A kiss from granny and after while daddy takes trash downstairs and accompany granny to her car, I start cleanings. Momochan is already sleeping hard but I will need a couple of hours more to finish all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

This evening we have connected to internet to buy the special present for Momochan who will have birthday next week.
This year we are not reserving a special party but we will have a special dinner with the family and relatives so we can but the camera for Momochan who likes it a lot ;)

Ikea treasure chest

In the afternoon Momochan and I are going to Ikea store for a treasure chest ;)
Nothing particular but we have chance to wander inside the store and give a look at the news, locations and new products, Momochan will win a toy and we will have ice cream too ;)
Items to find were not many, we composed all the poetry and then weent to take the prize: one of the big rats which Momo choosed in white ;)
We also had a pause at the coffee corner upstairs and had two ice creams, she amuses in putting the cone inside the manchine and insert the coin HAHAHA
We walked around and made several fotos of the X'Mas tree around to have some ideas on how to decorate our tree but we will have to buy some new paper decorations first ;)

cellphone .....

Today Momochan and I are goint to Ikea for the Treasure chest ;)

In the morning we are taking a walk with daddy around the town. I was giving a look at Momochan and realized how much she is different from the way I was, give a look to the fotos ;)
When I was a kid smartphone did not exist, the only phone I had was the copy of the normal landline phone everyone has at home connected with a cable that plugs into a wall outlet.
Now give a look at Momo, she holds in her hands a Peppa Pig toy phone, copy of a real smartphone, she pretends to choose a contact, dial and then speak with a natural easy way not common at my time HAHAHAHA

halloween party ;)

Nel pomeriggio del 1 novembre come ogni anno, il nostro parco giochi preferito ha organizzato una festa per i bambini a ingressi limitati cosi noi ci siamo iscritti.
Stavolta visto che Lidl aveva messo in vendita un sacco di belle cose e anche costumi e trucchi, io e Momo eravamo perfette, lei col suo costume da ragnetto e io con quiello da scheletro, mi sono truccata mentre Momo si sarebbe fatta fare il trucco direttamente là.
Il buffo è statoo uscire vestita e con la faccia da scheletro HAHAHA
Per fortuna per la strada abbiamo incontrato al zia che ci ha dato un passaggio e poi ci eravamo messe d'accordo con la nonna per farci venire a prendere là la sera alle 18.30 perchè col buio e visto che io sono sotto antibiotici per una tracheite di prendere freddo e con Momo stanca di andare a casa a piedi non ne avevo davvero voglia ;)
Una volta arrivati Momo ha iniziato a saltare, non vedeva l'ora di entrare piccina, c'era la grotta degli orrori con un vampiro ghignante appeso al interrno e una lapide spaventosa che si illuminava, i bambini dovevano fare i coraggiosi e passarci dentro HAHAHA
Poi c'erano i soliiti gonfiabili dove saltarre e arrampicarsi, bimbi mascherati correvano dappertutto, due scheltrini come me mi guardavano straniti per il mio trucco in faccia (veddi foto sopra) mentre Momo come altri bimbi si era messa in coda per farsi fare il trucco in loco, devo dire non è venuta affatto male, era davvero bellissima con la faccina verde e nera luccicante ;)
Dopo altri salti e giri, l'annunciatore comunica l'arrivo di pizza e biscotti naturalmente a forma di vampiretti e fantasmini, niente male, Momo ha mangiato una fetta di pizza (che per altro avevano detto c'era anche per i grandi e invece no e io sono rimasta a bocca asciutta), e poi un vampirello di cioccolato mandato giù di fretta perchè non vedeva l'ora di saltare di nuovo.
A fine pomerriggio la immancabile baby dance alla quale partecipano sempre tutti i bambini, in fila e attenti a imitare le mosse delle due animatrici che sono anche le proprietarie ;)
Momo si è divertita un sacco e a casa era visibilmente stanca, quando la ho messa a nanna è crollata in fretta ;)
