Sledding

Eve has developed her preferred sledding technique, which involves laying down on her back and holding on for dear life. Her head is sticking out though, so it’ll drag behind the sled through the snow, causing her to laugh like mad all the way down while snow is spraying up. Unfortunately I only have a picture of her at the bottom of the hill (the one above here), would have loved to get the whole thing on video. As you can imagine Kate and me where damn near falling over laughing our ass off.
Amy hates the cold and usually goes in turtle mode as soon as we walk out the door, sticking her head in her coat, or even better ours. But for some reason ever since we gave her new gloves she thinks snow is awesome and she runs around smacking it. From one heap to the next, smack smack, big grins, next heap, smack smack. Weird kid.
Good fun. :)

Sledding with the class

Eve going down hill


Today the whole class went sledding in the snow. Quite fun with about 30 4 & 5 year olds, 2 teachers and about 6 parents trying to guide them all. Lots of slipping and sliding just walking to towards the hill, and once the sledding began I had fun trying to prevent them all from running each other over. ‘t was a good day.
And we survived. ;)

Sleepy

Me: “Are you sleepy?”
Amy: “No.” then rubs her little eyes “Yes.”
Priceless.

Een grote meid

Often when the girls do something well we’ll them they’re ‘een grote meid’, which is Dutch for a big girl. You can just see ‘em grow all proud when we say it.
The downside is that now every time I do something the kids approve of, they call me a big girl. >.<

Dear daughter

thank you for defeating crushing us at Memory last evening. It made for a proud, if somewhat humiliating, daddy moment. Quite good for a 3 year old.

Dear daughter

Thank you for making even random trips to the grocery store more interesting, by pointing at the hottest woman around whenever mommy isn’t with us and screaming ‘mama’.

It’s the little things that count

Sometimes it’s just a stroll around the block

or acting goofy with the kids

or seeing them be happy.

And that concludes my daughter’s first post, who at a little over 16 months is a bit way too interested in technology, figuring out how to use the remote and turn on the tv and zap at age 10 months, not to mention running around with daddy’s cellphone yelling hello hello at it and then holding it up to her ear pretending someone is talking back.
Kids… best thing EVER!

Father’s day

Work in progress... not home!
Trying to get all/most of the new code working before I start on the eyecandy.
