Sundaynight, here we are again! I finished two LOs this weekend, one is for the PDW challenge and the other one is just another LO to remember Milan's 3rd birthday.

Yesterday we went shopping for shoes for the boys but we didn't get what we were looking for. We did come home with one pair of shoes, in the shop they were too small for Mauro, although a size 26 but apparently it turned out a bit smaller.

They were a great bargain, marked down from 49,95 to 9.95! When Milan tried them on they fitted him like Cinderella fitted her glass slippers! The boys are 19 months apart but only 1 shoesize!

The boys cleaned the inside of my car today ... with a little help of dad of course... I haven't seen it yet but I am ready to make COMPLIMENTS tomorrow!

Have a good night!

I just had to do something with all of the stuff I bought recently so I decided to scrap one of my alltime fav photos and put as much stuff in as I could, lol! I think it turned out quite pretty!

As it is just work here for me there's not much to tell except that work is going smooth and I enjoy what I am doing ... being back in the training dept. is the best choice for now. For now since I keep my options open :)

Looking forward to a weekend with no plans! I forgot, we planned to buy shoes for the boys since Mauro's feet have grown 2 sizes, he needs new shoes! Finally out of the toddler section!

You already knew, my babyboy turned 3... only a year away from school. He can't wait (but I can... )... Of course he celebrated his birthday with a party at the daycare and the girls who work there made a hat for him. He was so proud!

Not a lot more to tell you, I was in the office today, had plenty to do... Have a nice evening!

What we did on Sunday...

The boys enjoyed it... just watch the video:

Not a lot of news today... We had a quiet weekend, last night we went to see the Carnival Lights Parade in the village where the boys' grandparents live. They were dressed up as a clown and a lion and they enjoyed it a lot! Today we were lazy in the morning and around midday we left for Scheveningen. We hadn't been there in 9 years or so, since we left The Hague (where we used to live). It was cold but we enjoyed it, played on the beach for a while with the sand (no real sand castles, just digging, lol). Then we walked up to the boulevard and looked how it hasn't changed over the years (even the shops are all the same...). Little Milan was really frightened for a moment when a HUGE dog came up to him and touched his face. He was sitting in his stroller so the same height... even I was scared for a minute.... reminded me of when I was for and a dog bite my leg...brrrrr. On the way home we stopped at McDonalds, of course the kids favorite!!

It's Spring Vacation so no school tomorrow, we are going to play with Rick and Luuk!

Cool Dude!

Just wanted to share the LO I finished today for Melissa Bennetts' CT...

It was a wonderful sunny day here today and I enjoyed the Spring feeling! I even saw the first flowers popping up... crocuses like these (photo from blueridgeblog):

Today I wanted something silly!!! Can't tell you why but I am just not inspired by work right now, lol!! So I chose my Sesamestreet Character and I wasn't surprised by the outcome at all... ROTFL... I was called Koekie in highschool and it seems I haven't changed in 20 years ... :)

You are famous for: Your slightly crazy eyes and usual way of speaking How you life your life: In the moment. "Me want COOKIE!"

I am on Melissa Bennet's CT...woohoo!!

This is the first LO I made with one of her kits Winterhaze. She sells at PlainDigitalWrapper and I love her designs! She has such complete (I mean complete!) kits with all the different elements and papers you can wish for! This is the first LO I made, it might look a bit simple but that is because I am trying to get the hang of Photoshop. I used to work with PSP X but I read more and more about actions which are only for Photoshop so I try to teach myself to work with it... Tutorials are a great help!

I just finished another LO, this one is for Sherry Ferguson, made this for the CT.

And I have to run to get some batteries because I want to see my new camera working... You think, another camera... yep! But it's for the kids! They always want to 'borrow' my cameras and I am so afraid they will drop it! So I (ebay freakie as I am) discovered this and bought it instantly:

Oohhh I know what you think... but it's a great thing to work on camera skills when you are 3 and 4, you can never start too soon! Take care, have a nice day!!

Snow!!

Finally, some snow in Holland! And Mauro was so lucky because when he arrived at school this morning they found out the teacher had called in sick and all 1st graders could go back home! A few hours later it started to snow! So in the afternoon the boys and their friend took their sledges and found the nearest hill to go sledding! They also made a large snowman in our backyard... Unfortunately I had to work but dad was there all the time so he was able to take lots of pictures:

More organizing and hopefully scrapping tomorrow (but a lot of laundry too... :( ) because I have the day off tomorrow, yippie yeah!!

Happy Birthday to my baby!

My babyboy turns 3 today! He's telling the world that he is now BIG!





We celebrated his birthday last Saturday with his friends, our friends and family. He liked his birthday party, his cake and his gifts... I ordered a photocake:

Saturday morning we picked it up and I was still a little afraid he would not like it because he told me he'd rather have Kabouter Plop (another of his TV heroes) cake and certainly NOT Piet Piraat... But when he saw the cake he was happy, such a relief :)

Today daddy had to go to work and his brother had to go to school so there isn't a big party today. Some things make it festive anyway, sometimes even unexpected. I had sent his photo to Zappelin, a Dutch childrens' programme and this morning Milan was on TV! His friend Tim called immediately after that, he had seen it too! You can also view it here on the Zappelin website. Milan is on page 3... I can't believe there are over 50 children on there celebrating their birthdays and his photo was picked to be shown on TV (there are only 3 photos on TV!).

Now that Milan is 3 he can use the playground and ballroom facilities at IKEA... Something he has been looking forward to for a VERY long time! So we are going there for dinner tonight and he can play at the playground with his brother... he is even taking a nap without complaining so that he will be extra-fit tonight!

Off to scrap some birthday pictures!
