Playroom


We are (Joyce) very lucky to have enough space living in Amsterdam to even have a playroom for the kids. Created 5 years ago, loaded with stuff, which I try to orden once in a while, as they like to use it for storage. Two years ago it was upgraded with an computer, but now, big change is needed. They earned enough money at Queensday selling their stuff and bought (even the same day!) a Wii. That Wii, is now in our living room, and I don't like it. So it has to go to the playroom, but Wii-ing takes up some space to actualy play tennis, bowling etc. which means cleaning up big time. And that's what I've been doing the whole day. No more swords, clowns, prince of Arabia outfits, or even princess slippers, all gone! But what's next? They want to keep the pink wall with Peter Pan & Tinkerbell on it. But I think that's all the pink that's gonna stay. Lounging & wii-ing it will be. Any ideas, love to hear them.

Marriage


Last wednesday I (Joyce) celebrated my 10 year wedding anniversary. No big party, but a lovely wake up call from the kids, 9 & 6 years old, who made under the guidance of their niece (thanks Jane) a great breakfast at bed, what a way to start. All day through was business as usual, but ending with a very nice dinner with my husband at Van Vlaanderen, which was the last chance as they sold the place. Going through my pictures I found this one, which was as never finished in that way as a postcard, although some elements were used in the final one. Minor detail that the groom is missing in it, but still...
