A new business. With bonus material and bloopers and all. And you're right, I changed the title. Bit too presumptious. But if you want to find out more, got to learn Dutch first. Coz I tried in English, i really did, and it's just too much struggle. And hey i am lot smarter and wittier in my own language. So what i'll do; i'll just give it a go and juice it up with some Dutch whenever i am stuck. K?

Watskeburt?








So, to follow Watskeburt wat is niau?

  • R. has been painting all the woodwork outside in between rainfalls. With massive woodfires in Portugal and enormous fluddings in east and central europe (34 ppl killed in Romania they said on the news yesterday) we're experiencing a normal Dutch summer. Lots of rain and from time to time some sun.
    Today we got ourselves a real creepy ladder and i am freaking out just seeing him go up on it, so I stay wisely inside.
  • C. and I went over to Binnepret, the kindergarten she's been to before and registered her again, now as off her 3rd birthday. All the kindergartens in Rotterdam (at least this area) have become socalled voorscholen. Pre schools.
    With the high percentage of originally-non-dutch population and the fact that -still- a lot of the kids that entered the school at 4 didn't speak any Dutch, they have moved the idea of a real school to the kindergarten. Meaning the children have to go 4 times a week, including 1 or 2 afternoons to get them used to the afternoon part of a school and they sort of prepare the kids using the same themes (seasons, counting, days/months etc) as the first and second groups.
    So, other than keeping her at home, we have no choice then to send her to a preschool too.
    I did make an agreement on limitation of the days. (parts of it actually, 3 mornings and an afternoon or 2 mornings and 2 afternoons). For starters she'll go twice a week and after a few months , we'll see if she wants to go more often.
  • After school (m. is doing fine at the moment !) i've taken the boys to the hairdressers and
  • I made a new appointment with someone who's interested in my wedding dress. About a yr ago i placed an add on several sites offering my dress, and had some women fitting it, but it didn't really suit anybody. Actually i totally forgot about the ads untill this Femke mailed me 2 days ago and she 's coming this Saturday. We'll see. I don't even know if i wanna sell it.

With A. gone to Rumania, the kids spend a whole lot of time behind the pc and T. is actually getting better at it than his big brother!
