Day 122 – November 22

Hey it is weekend again, isn’t it wonderful to not being woken up by an alarm clock. Unfortunately it was not the sun either, today we did not see to much of it. It is a grey the entire day with some drizzle as well. The temperature was not too bad so we opened the sliding door.

Bram was not feeling too well today, so after breakfast he went straight to bed again.

Camy and I wore our pj’s all day long, we decided not to leave the house anyway.

Camy did some homework, I did some laundry and we cleaned up some.

For lunch I made a delicious bowl of salad.
And Bram is feeling kind of better again!

weekend

Day 34 – August 26

And again a beautiful start of a new day, sun just rose again!
What a difference when you compare this to Holland.

Day34-01

Last week when we were in the park I saw this tree, a magnolia, holding fruits. I thought it was a nice and special tree, today I saw another one and found out that the dried out flower turned into a fruit and is now opening up.

Day34-02 Day34-03

For lunch we picked up a cold cut up salad at Subway’s along with a chicken sandwich. Awesome!

Day34-04

We parked the car right next to this sign. I have not seen this sign before and I do not think we use it in Holland, do we?

Day34-05

Today is voting time and we saw different signs saying so.
Do you know who to vote for? Too many to pick from 🙂
For now we do not need to worry about this, probably when we get back home again.

Day34-06 Day34-07

Day 26 – August 18

Our goal for today: looking for a school uniform.
Or in other words trying to find kaki and dark blue shorts for Camy.
Again, we had already crossed this off of our list, right?
Absolutely right, Camy had already bought 2 pair of jeans but they are too hot to wear. So today after we dropped Camy off at school we went looking for them.

And of course it was time to have a cup of coffee, you want something with it?

Day26-01

For lunch we had this Cranberry Walnut salad.
Now we just need a nice and cool place, the shade is probably best.
Enjoy!

Day26-02 Day26-03

We picked Camy up at 03.45PM, she now has resource after her final class. This is like an extra class for some 30 minutes, this allows students to already do their homework but also have the teachers nearby, so when questions arise they are still available to help. And secondly, most of the homework is done by the time we get home, which allows us to have more quiet evenings.

Because we had some questions for a couple of teachers Bram had to sign in before he was allowed to enter the school. Safety first, no one is allowed to enter without signing in and out for that matter. They now know, at all times, who entered the school and why.

Day26-04

After we were done at school we went to Mc Donalds to have an ice cream and take care of the remaining homework. We did this at Mc Donalds since we did not go home right after school because tonight we are expected back at school. Mc Donalds is also convenient because internet is available here and most books are web based.

Day26-05

We were invited back to school tonight because it was time to meet all the teachers and to have all parents meet all teachers they set up a schedule based on the students regular classes and have them change class rooms every 10 minutes, just like students do. Within this 10 minutes all teachers were able to tell who they were, what they teach and what students will be thought this year. After 10 minutes the announcement was made that class was over and you had to go to your next class. Camy made the announcement after 3rd period, “this period is over please go to your next class”, she did it very convincing with an already American accent. So proud!!
