Last weekend was carnival weekend. There were rides. Macsen drove.

April 30th is Koninginnedag, a public holiday in the Netherlands. It’s not a public holiday in Belgium but we cracked out the orange and took a trip across the border. I didn’t take a lot of photos of the festivities, but I do quite like this one of the boys, getting ready to do whatever they’re planning on doing.
Here’s a photo of five minutes peace before the twins started stabbing each other with blunt pencils.
One of the toys the twins received when we saw Sinterklaas last Sunday was a drum with a set of shaped holes around the edge. It comes with a set of shaped blocks and the idea is that the kids have to learn to identify which shape goes into which hole.
A nice side-product of this toy is that it’s something on which the twins can work together.
What is not so apparent from the above photo is that, working together, the twins have figured out how to open the drum so that they can fill it without having to faff around with this matching shapes business.
We’re into the middle of November, and that means it’s time to start thinking about next month’s seasonal festivities. This is why it was that we found ourselves spending Sunday travelling to The Netherlands for the first annual visit of Sinterklaas.
We have photos.
It’s Autumn and the leaves are falling fast, which means it’s time for the kids to earn their keep.
It seems to be an annual event that our internet, TV and telephone provider invites their customers to a free day out in Plopsa Hasselt. They probably invite other customers to other locations, but Hasselt is the closest to us and, therefore, where we find ourselves the weekend before Halloween.
Of course I took a camera.
It’s that time of the year again.
Again, I find myself moving photos from the camera to my PC. It’s been a long time since I last checked and I have some going all the way back to the start of last month.
Like this one, for example.
