What have i been upto of late....
well. ive been incredibly busy to say the least.
Saturday night was the Stavoren Beer Party. It had a pretty interesting band with an awesome saxaphone player and a trombone player aswell.
i had a good time dancing with virpi and it was also nice to be meeting new people. at the end of the night we found ourselves in a makeshift bar in someones old chicken shed with a bunch of really awesome kids. after that party we dragged ourselves over to cees' home where a man with coke still in his nostril was lecturing me on how drugs were incredibly bad and he has never even given them anythought. needless to say. i made my excuses to leave pretty quickly. around the time i got home (5am) i soon found myself eating a giant bowl of milo covered cornflakes in my bedroom before falling asleep for the rest of the day. i would have to say that the evening was a raging sucess based on that event alone haha.
Monday Night was virpi and myself's first night at archery and man what a fucking blast!!! everyone was really lovely and they taught me how to hold it comfortably and stand properly. and i got quite a few bullseyes and even came 3rd out of 15 at the final competition. it was such a good night with lovely lovely people.
Tuesday:  was an amazing sunny day with no wind and bright blue skies. Barber and Sander were out all day and i was incharge of the school runs. so on the dreaded mumma bike i took rinse and we picked annemijn up from peuterschool and went playing in the park until wende was ready. we spedd back home for a quick lunch and then i put the younger two in the pram and wende rode to school on her scooter. there followed a two and a half hour walking marathon with both kids sleeping and me enjoying being outside :) after picking up wende and finally getting home. we watched some t.v before i raced off to joannas birthday celebrations...
Tuesday night- Joanna's birthday celebrations. even though i was ridiculously tired from the days work (see above) i was so excited to give joanna her presents. joanna and i are both huge fans of the disney movies. im so glad im not the only adult in this world that still loves those movies to death! i gave her the cutest princess throw rug for when shes relaxing on the lounge and i also gave her princess oven mits and an apron. she loved them so much she wore them all night haha.
job well done i think...
