It's snowing!!! And oh so chilly!! I sent to kids off to school this morning all bundled up but without snow pants. It was lightly snowing but there wasn't any accumulation. By the time I picked them up this afternoon there was a good amount of snow on the ground. As soon as we pulled in the driveway, they threw their snow pants on and off they went!

I even ventured out for a few photos. I do NOT like the cold. No I don't. My motto is beautiful fluffy flakes on Christmas Eve and then it can all go away! At least my babies like it.
I meant to post as soon as I got home from PACS (Paper and Co Show) but I had some serious jetlag and then my kids needed mommy time. So, finally, here is a quick recap!
I arrived in France on Thursday morning, dropped my bags off and then headed to Forum Des Halles for a little SHOPPING! I bought a few gifts for Christmas and then explored a little before meeting up with Julie Fei-Fan Balzer to take the train into Buthiers. This was my first time meeting Julie and I have to say I LOVE her! Very talented and fun gal!
Forum Des Halles
We met up with a bunch of ladies at the train station in Buthiers and proceeded to head over to where the Paper and Co Show was being held. It was very dark so I didn't see how beautiful the area was until the next day.
Wow. What a beautiful area!! It is popular for rock climbing and mountain biking. I went on a little hike in the woods and took some photos of the flora and fauna, the fungi and a horse!
Oh! And some wild cats.
The teachers shared living quarters for the weekend. We were able to chat after classes and get to know each other. Lots of laughs, late nights and an all around good time!
