grrrr grrr

O ...what sound does a cat make? ...grrr grrr

O has discovered our books with pictures (real ones, not cartoons) of animals and is really interested. So we have been making the appropriate sounds. Fun for both of us.  So now when he sees a cat he says Poes (cat in Dutch) and grrr grrr .  ..we will continue to practise :-)


Friday we all kids got dressed Dutch style. Or Queen is stepping down ..her son is taking over so all schools organized: The King games ..everyone got dressed up in orange..and they played games in the classroom (it was raining outside). Tuesday we will celebrate the last queens day. As of next year we celebrate Kings day ..hmm still need to get used to that.

 Lot of updates this week...

O is a charmer he gets his friends to do anything!  :-) We had lots of play time outside this week...we are loving it.

 Our milk carton garden...every day the boys check its progress. We talk about the different seeds and the different plants.

 Some of them are growing really fast :-)

K has got art lessons as part of the after school program. They are experimenting with different materials. This week water colors and oil crayons. This is ....a pirate ship in pieces in the water.  :-)

Another great adventure. K and one of his teachers went spawn fishing this week. We have them at home now and their progress is followed by all the kids of our neighborhood.  ..they all felt it  & smelt it. They all come in every day to check on them. Curious about what is going to happen.

 K's drawings now show spawn instead of eggs :-)

 This week K asked me how he could draw a heart. I showed him but he had some trouble so I drew a few hearts with a pencil and he traced them with a felt pen.  ...he loved it and now continues to ask me to draw more hearts :-)
