Busyyyyy

When you live in an apartment... no, I should say, when you are condemned to live in an apartment, because your house is stinking and being repaired, you don't want to spend your weekend between four walls. When it is minus 10ish Celsius outside, it is actually comforting to have some walls around. Still, as long as those have nothing to do with the apartment...
That's how we started our last weekend.

Friday: after school, we were at Annemiek's house. The kids played, mothers chatted and father (only P was in town) came later to join the chat. Did I say we started the wine at 3:30? No baby, yes wine! We were probably at the apartment after 9.
Saturday: Started the day with sporting. While the kids were at the daycare service, we were on the treadmills etc. I went with F wall climbing. We went all together swimming. After a late lunch, we met Tena and her son Beck for a little bowling. Kids loved it. The balls were actually too heavy for A, but with some help, she actually won their game! After bowling, we got stopped by the police for speeding in a military complex. We knew the name of the commandant which helped us enormously. We didn't get a ticket, but got an escort to the exit. We were lost and looking for the exit, so it was more like a service. We met Tena & Dave for dinner - mmmm sushi. It was after 9 that we came back to the apartment. Go parents go, aren't we just so irresponsible...

Sunday: We brought P and F to the church and went to her first real party. Her classmate Wyatt turned 3 and his b-day was at a gym. The kids parties here are not more than 1,5 hours. A spent 1 hour hanging from my leg. At the end, she didn't want to leave. So typical... We met P and F at the ice rink in our little village. F was for the first time on the ice and she did quite well. It was very cold though. Then we went to Leo and Carla's. Their younger son Alex plays soccer with F, that's how we know them. Fun fun fun.... We left, as responsible parents, around 6 p.m. and ended our weekend marathon at the apartment, exhausted but happy. Than the four walls of the apartment were very welcome!
