It was a weird match last night ....

Both teams finished the game with nine men after a game which equalled the World Cup record for bookings - 16 - and broke the record for red cards.

Anyway, our boys can come home... no World Cup this year... but we'll be back in 2008 in Austria/Switzerland!

Ja de postcodestraatprijs van 14,3 miljoen euro is gevallen op.....
Dream on... maar deze is toch ook een hoofdprijs? Kleine Milan afgelopen zaterdag op de braderie! Ze hebben deze leuke foto van hem gemaakt... kon hem later zo downloaden vanaf de postcodeloterij website! Maar we kregen er ook een mee!

Tonights show before bedtime.... they're singing a song and jumping right at me!

Just for fun... my horroscope (no... it's really more like horror!):

I am a Taurus.
(Also known as "Bull")
My Horroscope starts like this:
" Petty, annoying and a whiny pain in the neck, a Taurus loves to brown-nose and is often a snitch to boot. In life and work, always blows with the wind, and runs to answer to his supperiors' smallest whim. " (Read more Find yours)

Everybody watches Holland-Argentina!

I tried to watch the first bit but then got bored so I moved to the attic to turn on my computer... check my mail, msn with Petra and then I found this kit.... and Petra put this photo on the daycare msn space.... I just had to scrap it!

The kit is called Soul Search by Carrie Stephens.

I didn't ignore the rest of the match... no I turned on the radio but the result was 0-0... Now on to the 1/8 finals on Sunday (when we have Mauro's birthday party)... Holland-Portugal it is!

I updated my blog today! The links are gone so I have to update those as well later. I made a blog header... Milo aka Petra and I were making one each while chatting on msn so this was fun... you can see her blog here: Milo aka Petra's Blog

This morning the boys were still on the campsite with their grandparents so that gave me the time to do an early-morning scrapsession (7.00 am) and these Beautiful Boys are the result. Kit is by CottageArts and is called Summer Serenity.

Well, only a little over 2 weeks before we go camping ourselves... we're off to France in 3 weeks!

Countdown, 12 days to go!!

Yes it's Mauro's 4th birthday in 12 days, and I had to think about which birthday cake to get him. After an elephant cake and a Pipo de Clown cake last year I found something else on the web... a cake with his own print on it made by our 'everyday' store HEMA! Only 16,95!

So this is the LO I made (with thanks to Camille Diaz for the Summer Playground kit) for the cake. I uploaded it to the store and the cake will be ready for his birthday party!

Tonight Holland won the World Cup match (against Ivory Coast) with 2-1...so we're in the 1/8 Finals anyhow! Now we're on next Wednesday ... Holland - Argentine, this will be a tough one!

Daar ging mama toch voor ... K3??? Nee, het was een superdag afgelopen zaterdag!
Wel druk hoor maar toch verdeelde die 30.000 (!) man zich goed over het park. En bij de parade stonden we vooraan dus konden we de beste foto's maken! Het was een lange dag maar zelfs Milan is tussendoor niet in slaap gevallen ....

Hi de hi!
Vandaag weer even lekker de tijd gehad om te koken... zelfgemaakte pizza. Deeg uit de broodbakmachine en Pizzasaus van verse tomaten uit de crockpot/slowcooker (ja, van alle gemakken voorzien, lol). Ik heb het recept voor de pizzasaus maar even in Mijn Kookschrift bij AH gezet, ben bang dat ik het anders ga vergeten want die was mjammie (en dat gebeurt niet altijd bij mijn kookkunsten!). Morgen wil ik toch echt de cherry cobbler uit het kookboek gaan proberen, gelukkig heb ik nog een extra dagje vrij!

Plopsaland here we come!!

Nog eventjes 6 nachtjes slapen en dan gaan we voor de derde keer naar Plopsaland!
Alles voor de kids natuurlijk maar mama wilde het 10 jarig feestje van studio100 ook niet missen hoor (optreden van K3, welke mama vindt dat nou niet leuk?). Milan is twee maar die zingt ook al heel veel liedjes mee. We gaan met alle kids, zelfs Mitchell gaat mee... erg gezellig! We gaan dit keer in 1 dag er naar toe, na Disneyland in februari vinden we dit nog maar een kort stukkie rijden!

Mooie LO of niet ... papa met z'n jongste kroost op de dag dat Milan was geboren (een baard van de vermoeiende nacht ... not ....;). Ik kreeg deze kit van Camille Diaz (ik zit in haar Creative Team op www.3scrapateers.com) en de kit heet Best Dad Ever.... voor vaderdag natuurlijk! Denk dat ik 'm nog wel vaker zal gebruiken!

Een lekker zonnige LO van een foto die eigenlijk helemaal mislukt was... Deze was gemaakt om de zelfontspanner te testen en Mauro en ik hadden hier de grootste pret mee. Natuurlijk stond de camera op de verkeerde plek maar met de juiste hulp van PSP en een hele gave nieuwe kit ( (Summer Serenity van CottageArts, zie www.cottagearts.net) is het toch nog wel een van mijn favorieten geworden... het straalt er gewoon vanaf!

Two layouts I made for the finalist contest at www.scrapstreet.com. I sent in the one on the right... and the winners will be announced on June 1st. Not that I am expecting to be a winner, but still.... We are ahead in time of the US, still midday over there so no sign of an e-mail. Anyway, this one will be published anyhow as will all the layouts of the 10 finalists! The kit I used is Back when from Scrapstreet.

Ascension day last week on Thursday so mom and dad had a day of work and we still had some free tickets to the Themepark Land van Ooit (translated: Everland...). Many of the attractions are about knights and horses but Mauro hates shows so it's just all the rides and playground...
Milan loves the indoor-playground in the restaurant, there are just some large balls to play with but look at his happy face!

This week was full of work but there's another day off coming up next Monday (Whitsunday... but we also have a Whitmonday lol). We didn't make any special plans but the weather forecast is good so who knows... The Saturday after we are going to do something really special... The boys' favorite themepark in Belgium, Plopsaland... Even our teenage boy will join in! It's the 10th anniversary of Studio100 so all the favorite TV Characters will appear in the Park... Even I can't wait! Milan is addicted to K3 songs (listen to them at www.studio100.be) and knows them by heart so it's going to be GREAT!

After that the boys go camping with their grandparents... on and off for 1 month! They will be on a campsite nearby so they will probably be on the campsite in turns, there's only space for 1 child to sleep over... Mauro is looking forward to it.

Today he had his 2nd playhour in Primary School, where he will really start after the summer break. He's even starting to enjoy it!
