Pancake

2012-10-03 13.01.01

Sometimes I just like to take my kids out… anywhere, really. This was one of those times. Tobias was out playing with a friend and having lunch there. I decided to go out with just my girl. We went to the Pancake House just around the corner and had a nice big Dutch pancake!

Look at that cute happy face! Priceless, right?!

Babies

Lorelei has been very much into het “Babies” recently. Things like that kind of come and go with her. Before it was always dolls in the stroller, now it is holding, feeding and “Maxi Taxi” :-). The babies go everywhere with her (not to school though…). She talks their ears off, mostly in Dutch. She tells them off, comforts them, teaches them stuff, and then at night, puts them to bed. It is very cute!

I love this picture: feeding two babies at the same time :-).

Lorelei got a Cinderella dress a while back. Maybe I should stop this post here, because you can probably predict what’s coming…. Right?

She LOVES it!

If it were up to her she would probably wear it all day! When she gets up she wants it on over het pajamas, once she is dressed she wants it over her clothes, but best of all, she just want to wear it like it were her real clothes…. A bit cold at times, though….

I have to admit, it looks kind of cute on her, doesn’t it? She also got a Snow White dress, but she only wore that once so far… It has to be Cinderella at this point.

Maybe that has something to do with her favorite movie (which she is watching in this picture)….: Disney’s Cinderella! :-)

Halloween

A zombie and Tinkerbell, that’s our kids at Halloween… We had a party last Saturday which was really nice, and of course they got to wear their costumes. They were excited! It was a great party with lots of sweets and treats, oh, and also some really good adult-food :-).

There was no trick-or-treating yet, but we will do that tonight… well, kind of… We are going to Oudewater where, apparently, some kids organized a trick-or-treat-trail of about 4 (yes, that is FOUR) doors… Well, it is more than the ONE we had the past few years (our own…). And the kids get to wear their costumes again.

Ready for School…?

Does she look ready? Well, even if she doesn’t, I can tell you she is! Ready for what? School, of course! That door behind her is the entrance to her section of the school and this picture was taken last week on her very first “wendag” (getting used to school day). She was so excited! She got to ride her bike, carry her backpack, pick a chair and a picture for on her chair (she picked the cherries-picture…).

I think I have probably told you that she has been ready for school for a while. I think that is because she looks up to Tobias and wants to do the same thing. Anyway, there was no problem whatsoever with saying goodbye or anything like that. She just sat there, looking around, waving at us, and that was that… Lorelei got used to school :-).

Apparently she did quite well during the school day as well! Today I took her for the second time… I can hardly believe she is going to turn four in less than two weeks! I am going to miss her being home on Wednesdays… (although it does give me an opportunity to blog ;-).
