Kid's playground in our place


In our last blog we already mentioned that we have felt like being in a roller coaster for the past months. Lots of things have had changed but all definately to the better. We are very glad with the new house and enjoy living in the neighbourhood of our friends. No more daily hassle with all the yellow taxi drivers on daily commutes.

Both Jara and Lisa love to paint! Initially they paint on paper or pots, but at a later stage they usually end up to train for the body paint competition. Well I think they are on a pretty good way to win...


In the meantime we have had also time to enjoy lots of quality time with our kids and friends and have even managed starting our own little playground in our garden. Thorsten has far too many ideas to find excuses to do some woodworks, while Griet needs to entertain the two angles alone. But at least we have now a wonderful slide and climbing tower! Kid's love it! See for yourself in the pics.
