Birthday boy and guess what… new layout!
We had lots of things to celebrate so that’s what we did most of June… PARTY! First of all the kids were really happy that their grandparents are camping again on the campsite half an hour driving from here… They love to spend the weekends there (mostly in turns to keep it ‘nice’). The weather has been quite good too but if not, the pool is where they spend most of their time anyway! And there’s the first ‘bridge’ to one of the things to celebrate…one day before our oldest turned 7 he got his “B-diploma”.
This is the second swimming certificate. There is a C too but perhaps he will get that later, we don’t think he would be strong enough now.
And then there was his 7th birthday, we postponed all the parties for this because swimming exam and birthday don’t go well together … but last weekend it was party time. On Friday we took him and 5 of his friends from school and had lunch in our backyard. We had small cakes (tompouce
) and he unwrapped all the gifts.
Then we went to the bowling center to do some real Jungle Bowling! I was amazed by some of the talent :)
On Saturday we had the big family party for his birthday and we celebrated again with family and friends in our backyard, the weather has been beautiful so around 5.00 pm we got the BBQ out and cooked dinner for everyone! The birthday boy himself was invited back to the campsite with his grandparents so we filled his bag again, of course with some of the favorite gifts and off he went! We picked him up on Sunday afternoon and he had been in the different pools (indoor and outdoor) almost all day with his little friends Gaby and Corrie.
And now the last week of school has begun! Only 3 more days of REAL school until a 6 week Summer Break! The boys will get their school reports tomorrow but they are both going to the next grade.
Finally… I did something today that I hadn’t done in months… tonight I scrapped!!! Here’s the result!

That’s all for now!
