Waalwijk and Danne's birthday!!

Last thursday we went to the dentist for our half yearly check and after the dentist finished with dad, Wende wanted te be next and climbed up dad's lap. Last time she gave the dentist a hard time by keeping her mouth shut but his time she let the dentist check all of her teeth. All of them were in good shape and Wende was allowed to take a small toy from the cardboard box the dentist kept in a corner of the room. Nils did not need dad's lap and jumped in the seat by himself. Also he had brushed well so he was also allowed to grap a small toy and everyone was happy. Ah well, maybe the dentist could have been a bit diappointed. Saturday we first did some shopping for groceries and after that we did some serious work on the outside of the house and the garden. NIls and Wende had a great time on their bycicles cycling up and down the street together with friends from the neighbourhood. In the afternoon we went to Waalwijk to buy two small seats for Nils and Wende in the car. After we completed that mission we set out of ice cream while mom bought new cloths in a shop nearby. There was a scouting exhibition on the great square and while mom was having fun, Wende Nils and dad took a tour round the square and we found someone who could paint wende's face with lovely flowers and Nils found a stand where you could build your own boat from plastic foam. Sunday we first went for a swim after breakfast. Mom stayed at home with Ingmar because he still suffers from a bad cold. So, dad Wende and Nils plunged away in the pool and Nils showed how he learned the "schoolslag".

In the afternoon we went to Duiven to see Danne who celebrated her 5th birthday!! It was nice to see her parents again as well ofcourse. Nils gave Danne a bowling kit and Wende gave Danne a stretchable plastic string. At first she did not know what it was for but Leonie explained her that she would show her what it was for. There was so much going on that Nils and Wende (especially Nils) did not have much time to play with Danne and Nils felt a bit sad about it. When we returned home, Nils drew a drawing for Danne of a house with Danne's dad and Danne's mom (who was drawn on the roof for whatever reason..??) and ofcourse with Danne. From what I know he made this drawing a specially nice one and we were asked if we could post this drawing to Danne.
