What else is new?

Well, not much, we had quite a routine weekend. Groceries, get rid of stuff at the recycling point, pumping water out of te bacement with a new toy (since the experimental previous pump burned as dad overloaded it ofcourse.. ) The new one is safeguarded in ever way so more or less idiot proof. Saturday we went to Duncan's birthday party in Honselersdijk where we saw a lot of friends from the past with their kids and time has certainly went on.. Afterwards we went to grandpa and grandma in De Lier. We told Nils and Wende that we would go to China, little China. So after a phonecall and a short trip we arrived at "China Graden" in De Lier. Wende and Nils loved the drawings and the paitings but the food was a little less for them. They missed the butter and a little sugar as we do at home for them.. Ingmar suprised everyone by loudly breaking wind in the middle of the restaurant. Sunday morning dad took Nils and Wende to the swimming pool where it was crowded with parents and their kids. I have never seen the pool so busy. A couple of Nils's friends were there as well and we had great fun on the big slide. Afterwards we had lunch at home and Nils made a collection of shells he found in the garden. We saved some shells from a holiday in France years ago. He wanted to show what he made to grandpa through the webcam but dad had a better idea, we took a couple of pictures and dad promised to put them on the web for grandpa to look at. Mom and Wende were working in the garden, Wende "cleaned" the windows and Ingmar played with the water. Another weekend passes by, another busy week is eminent.
