The first things of Christmas..

The christmas shed is there!

This afternoon I worked on my surprise present again and painted it all black, it’s so cool!

After that I took the Christmas shed, the barn with Christ and his parents, the ox and donkey from the attic and put it in the living room. Oohh… I love it when all the lights are on and the little fire in front is burning. So it’s already a little Christmas in the house.

Next week we decorate the rest of the house, after St. Nicholas. Then we put the Santa in his chair in the garden and put a little Christmas tree right next to him. This afternoon we bought the lights for the outside tree.

I’ll go and do a little piece of the puzzle I’m making… bye… see you tomorrow!

Studying a St. Nicholas play

Good studying.....

This morning the teacher said that we are going to do a St.Nicholas play at Boxing day December 5th , (the day that St. Nicholas comes to our school and we do the surprise present party). At first I didn’t feel much in being a part of the team who have to participate in the play . Then she pointed out a few children who had to play all the parts and from them she chose only those children who were the best ones for the play and I was one of them. I’m playing Black Pieter number 1.
It turned out to be a pretty hard play, I’m de first one of the Black Pieter’s who has to say his lines!
Tonight I learned my lines ...”So... what do you think of this house?” “No, I don’t see it, where is that cross?” “No yeh, that’s not a cross that’s a Roman figure, number 10!” Actually it’s quite nice participating in that play...

After school Mark came home with me. The weather was terrible and when we arrived at my place we where soaking wet. We both had to change into other clothes and so Mark had to put on a trouser of mine. The trouser Mom gave him was a bit slim but it had to be a trouser which is to small for me because otherwise Mark would disappear in it. He had to make some strange movements before it finally was fitting pretty good.... I had to laugh and made a bit fun of it..... He was glad to put on his own trousers when he went home...”This one is much nicer” he said.

Now I’ll stop... Go and play with Timmie for a while.....bye...see you tomorrow!

Puzzle goes great!

Puzzle of 1500 pieces

This afternoon at lunch time I did a piece of my puzzle. It’s a big one! But it goes pretty well! There are all little scenes in one big puzzle. There is one man golfing, in an other part of the puzzle there is a man climbing a tree, so nice to make it. ….

This afternoon when I came from school I directly asked Mom if she heard something about Grandma Corrie…. She may have her operation to day, getting a new hip. Mom only heard that she might have the operation but not when and at what time…

When we where on the bowling we heard that she was in the operation room .

Just now Grandpa Frans called and said that she was back in her room and the operation succeeded pretty well. I’m so happy for her!

















Grandma get well!
I hope you will soon be well again!

I'll go to bed.. bye.. see you tomorrow!

St. Nicholas shopping!

A little street in Haarlem...

This afternoon we went to Haarlem to do some St. Nicholas shopping. I got a wish list from the one (at school) I have to buy a present for, but there were a few very difficult presents on that list. What was on the list I can’t tell because he or she would know that it is him or hers. We searched all over Haarlem to get the present and we finally bought something we hope it’s the right one.

When we got home grandpa and grandma came by. Grandma came to give Santa a face. Grandma is a wonderful painter and she gave Santa, (for in the garden) his pair of beautiful eyes and a nose and two red cheeks. So Santa is almost ready, he is only missing a pair of hands, to go outside and sit in his rocking chair next week!

So I’ll go and make piece of my puzzle I’m making…. Bye …see you tomorrow!

Also snow in Canada!

This picture was just send to me by aunt Suus in Canada Ontario... also snow!

The traffic jams are over but there is still a lot of snow in the east and the south part of the Netherlands. These afternoon snow clearers had to clear the 5 centimeter ice from the freeways. We here in the west part didn’t have one snow flake…that’s so strange… 80 kilometers to the east there is everything white!
















This afternoon I bought my PSP at last! It’s so cool man! From Dad I got a game and Mom gave me a bag to keep it in… it’s such a great thing… you can play games on it, watch films, play music and connect it to the computer and much, much more!

Now I’ll go to bed… bye…. See you tomorrow!

Still heavy weather!

A freeway somewhere around Apeldoorn (a city in the east part of the Netherlands) this morning!

We here in the West don’t have any snow but in the East and the South part of the Netherlands it’s a complete chaos! The traffic jams remained till 5.30 AM this morning! These pictures were made by Mom a of couple minutes ago from the TV. There was an extra TV broadcasting all about the heavy weather!


Brine sprinkler on a by-path...........Snow wall on the freeway

Grandma Corrie in hospital!

Get well soon Grandma!

In the middle of the night Grandpa Frans rang to say Grandma was hospitalized a few hours ago. She fell and broke her hip!
Dear Grandma get well soon!

Heavy weather!

Feeding Timmie...

This morning when I went to school it was really heavy weather, rain, hail and thunder-storm! Mam brought me to school and together we walked far away from the houses you’ll never know if the roof-tiles begin to fly, it wouldn’t be the first time here! Everything what was loose on the ground flew through the air and the branches broke of the trees. It was still dark and the schoolyard was completely under water. No one was on his bicycle today.
When I came home for lunch I directly had to go upstairs to change, I was soaking wet. My shoes were full with water, Mom threw them empty and put them on the heater to dry.
I put on my top-boots and another coat when I went back to school.
When I arrived at home when school was finished I was soaking wet again and had to change clothes again… pppfffhhh…..this was really bad!

This afternoon at school I got my rapport card, Dad, Mom, grandpa and grandma were very proud of me, they all said it’s a wonderful rapport card! There are a few very nice marks on there, an 8 for arithmetic, a 10 for topographic a 10 for my herbariums and a 9 for my essay and a few 7 and 6.

Tonight when I gave Timmie his food the weather was still bad… rain and storm. Happily Timmie's hutch is under the shed so he wouldn’t be wet of the rain.

It’s after 10 PM and the weather is still bad. In the south part of the Netherlands it’s snowing and there is more than 1 meter snow on the roads. There is a traffic jam since this morning, some people are in that traffic jam since 11 AM this morning and still not moving! There is all together a traffic jam more than 900 kilometers out through the Netherlands…. There giving the people in the cars hot coffee and food because the end of the traffic jams won’t be over for the next couple of hours….
Mmmm …a bad day … hope it will be over tomorrow!

It’s passed 10 PM I’ll go to bed… bye … see you tomorrow!

New game on the internet!

Habbo

This morning teacher Henk came into our classroom to tell use about a bowling tournament against other schools, that will take place in the second week of January. Of course I’ll play that tournament for our school, that’s so cool!
This afternoon after school I went home with Mark. We played a new game on the computer all afternoon, it’s called Habbo Hotel. That’s a great game! Every one who is playing the game has a hotel room were you can go or you go to the library or the swimming pool and talk (chat) to other players. Only when you want furniture for your room you have to pay for that.
Tonight when I got home I played on the Habbo game with Mark, we chat a little in his hotel room. His room because he has chairs to sit on (his mother allowed him to buy some furniture, you do that by making a telephone call and you get a code you have to use on the computer. My Mom won‘t ever let me do that !!!!) It’s such a cool game and you can play it with all of your friends who are at home behind their computer.

I’ll go and play with Timmie now... Bye... See you tomorrow!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

We here in the Netherlands don’t celebrate Thanksgiving but in the U.S. they celebrate it today! In Canada they also celebrate Thanksgiving. I believe that’s on another day? Maybe there is someone who can tell me when the people in Canada celebrate their Thanksgiving? I want to wish my blog friends in the U.S. a very happy Thanksgiving!

Today Ruud's birthday!

Today November 24th Ruud's birthday!
Happy birthday Ruud!

Mighty good puzzle!

Together with dad making the puzzle...

This morning at school we made music together. Thomas and Mark brought their guitar and I my trumpet. Last week teacher Bob from the music school gave me some new music, St. Nicholas songs, the only problem is that I play the second trumpet and so is the music. It’s not a complete music part… at the music school we only play those parts together in the band. Only the song “Who’s coming every year" was more or less o.k. It was nice making music the three of us and the rest, all the other kids in the class were singing…. Only St. Nicholas song…..

This afternoon I worked hard on my surprise present again…. It becomes so great! It only takes a lot of time to make it, but that doesn’t matter I love doing it. It’s a very, very Dutch thing… you still don’t know he?

Tonight Dad and I worked on the puzzle again the puzzle which we have lent of marijke. It’s a big one and has 1500 pieces, it’s difficult but so cool!

Go upstairs now… bye … see you tomorrow!

This is the Toronto Santa Claus Parade. This event was held on Sunday the 20th. This picture is in front of the R.O.M (Royal Ontario Museum)

The picture was send to us by aunt Suus from Canada. Thanks aunt Suus, it's a great picture!

New books!

Aaaaaa..the creepy coach!

This afternoon after school I went to the bus stop... to see if Mom was coming…. yes … she got 2 bags with books! Today and tomorrow there is a big book sale on quite near to Mom’s work, that’s only once a year and you can buy there books from €1,- , €2,- , €3,- a book.. I wish I could go there but that’s not possible because I have to go to school.
Yes, Mom succeeded in buying the book creepy coach, that’s a very exciting series, I read one of them. She also had 2 books of the danger series and a Paul van Loon book, there all so cool! Mmmmhhh…… I’ve got a lot to read…. I love it….

After I’ve seen all the books Mom brouhgt home we started to make the surprise present for school.
We did a lot of gluing with newspapers but that’s all I have to say about it. I don’t tell you now what it will be, because a lot of my friends at school will see what I’m making then and that’s not going to happen. So here is a mysterious picture maybe you can guess what it is?

Mom went to school tonight to see my rapport card and talk about it, she said it was a wonderful rapport card! PPpphhhff...I'm always a little tensed when the teacher talks to Mom about my school work……

I'll go upstairs now... bye ... see you tomorrow!

I’ve got my shirt!

Drivingschool Dave!

This afternoon when school went out, Mark wanted to show his sturdiness to a few other boys and kicked my bicycle. The splash-board broke and fell down on the ground. That’s quite annoying, when I’ll drive through the downpour I’ll be covered with mud and water! Dad is repairing the splash-board right now for more over then 45 minutes… he’s not very happy….

When I got home from school this afternoon, I helped Mom with the cooking, I cooked the pasta. After that we had an early dinner because I had to go to the Bowling tonight.

This evening I played in an other team then the one they told me I should play in … I don't know why, the made a mistake they told us…. But I got my sponsor shirt at last! I am playing for the driving school Dave. On the front there is a picture of some pins and a ball, it’s so cool!

After the bowling I directly went to my room, I am making some St. Nicholas presents …for Dad and Mom... pppsss…. don’t say anything…. ooohhh…. its so exciting!

Tomorrow I'll make a start by making the St. Nicholas surprise present for school…I love to make a surprise gift…..

It’s time to go upstairs…. Bye …see you tomorrow!

Autumn decoration

Autumn decoration

This afternoon I was a little bored. Mark wasn’t home and there was no one playing outside and Mom was making an autumn decoration at the neighbors. So I joined them and made my own decoration. I can’t wait till after St. Nicholas then we always make Christmas decorations that’s so cool to do! On the picture above you can see my decoration. Marijke the neighbor gave me a little Christmas bear which I put in, nice isn’t it?
Tonight I did my homework for school, Dutch grammar. All lines in which you have to say if the words ends on t, or d, dt, de, or te, dde or tte. It wasn’t difficult at all, we have a scheme for that, so I finished it very quickly.
Its 8.30 PM already I’ll have to go to bed….bye … see you tomorrow!

St. Nicholas came to our village today!

The arrival of St. Nicholas and his Black Pieter’s this morning at 11.45 AM in our village near the bridge.

This morning we went to the bowling, but they couldn’t tell yet if I have to play and at what time. First 4 other groups have to play and after that its clear if I’ll play the finals or not…..eemmmhh… I’ll just have to wait till 3 o’clock.
So we went shopping and on our way home we were just in time to see the arrival of St. Nicholas on his ship in our village. Nicholas came on his big steam ship, just see the steam coming from the pipe of the ship. There were lots and lots of Black Pieter’s in little boats behind the big steam ship. Hakim from Sesame Street was there to welcome St. Nicholas. It was so crowded, we couldn’t get near to St. Nicholas. I saw him from a distends only.

The Band from our village was there to accompany St. Nicholas to a party hall.

It’s almost 2 o’clock so we’ll go back to the bowling and just have a look if I have to play the finals ….bbbrrr… it’s so exiting …See you later!!!

Giving away the prizes!

When we arrived at a little after 2 o ‘clock there was a score list in the hall and my name was on the second place! Only one more group had to play! After that play I was third on the list so I was sure of a place in the finals!
At 3 o’clock I had to play my games… I was a little nervous… this was my first real big game…. I didn’t play a very good game, there were no records broken but it wasn’t to bad either. After I had played my games I had to wait till 6 o ‘clock to see if I had won a price…
They started to call the name of who had won the 11th place…. That wasn’t me…up till 5 and my name was called out into the microphone Men has got the 5^th place! I couldn’t believe it… I am only playing for 3 months and now I won the 5^th place and got €12, 50.
I played the finals only with one girl from my club, she became 7th, all the other 10 kids came from all over the region (Haarlemmerliede), from Huizen, Hoofddorp, Julianadorp, Leiderdorp en Gouda
I was so happy with my price! (I'm saving the money to buy me a PSP (portable) ever…but that is very expensive, but who knows))

So now I’ll go and play with my rabbit Timmie… bye… see you tomorrow!

Searching for Santa's cap

The Christmas department of the garden centre

This afternoon after school we went to Amsterdam to the Garden centre the Osdorper. The Santa were making needs an other cap because the one which suits the clothes is to small, the head we made is so big!















They had mighty good Christmas lights over there

I’ll love to see all that Christmas things. Lighted Santa’s, reindeers with a sledge and little trains…so cool! Mom and I still want a reindeer and a sledge for in our garden this year …. but where not sure it will ever come there…Dad always says … is that necessary?

The falling stars are so beautiful…

After searching for so long we at last found a very big Santa’s cap….when we got home we’ll put it on right away… it is so cool! It really becomes Santa!

Tonight at the music lessons we played only St. Nicholas songs.. It really sounded pretty nice… only there was a new boy who played a false note now and then, but that didn’t matter it was nice to play in a group of 7 children since a long time after weeks of private lessons alone.

So I’ll go to bed now because I have my bowling tournament tomorrow ..I’ll have to be there at 8.30 tomorrow morning, that’s early he?

Bye …see you tomorrow!

It hailed again!

Tonight it hailed again, see the garden table!

This morning at school the weather became really bad …..the hail stones were as big as marbles the whole schoolyard was white in a few seconds. Lightning and thunder …so hard it was flash and bangggg… flash and banggg! Even the teacher was a little scared…… the whole floor was shaking. To strokes must be turned down in to something the thunder was so hard.
Just after the Lightning and the thunder an airplane a cargo plane came over our school it looked as if it could get of the ground. There was that noise it was less than 20 meters above our school … it was so near…and the noise.. you won’t believe it!

It was a strange morning and everybody was glad to go home for lunch. I directly called Mom at work when I got home and she said it didn’t hail in Amsterdam and there was no lightning and thunder! How is that possible… it’s only 10 kilometers away? That’s odd…

This evening it started to hail again, look at the hail stones on the garden table! They say it will get really cold now…. I’ll find it cold already…bahhh….

I’ll go and watch TV in my room….bye… see you tomorrow!

Bad weather today!

Studying for Friday

Today the weather was very bad. This morning when I went to school it rained and hailed and it was cold, no playing outside today!
This afternoon we had hot tea and cake and pepernoten (Dutch delicacy at St. Nicholas). Then it’s almost St. Nicholas, eating pepernoten.
Normally I don’t like pepernoten but these ones were pretty good. They were covered with chocolate…..mmmmm.. that was tasty!

This evening I studied hard on my trumpet, I have to know this piece of music by Friday because then we’ll get the new music St. Nicholas songs, that’s so cool to play! “See St. Nicholas ship is coming from Spain!” After St. Nicholas we’ll get the Christmas songs to take home and that’s so nice to play.






















This evening after dinner we had coffee and St. Nicholas chocolate letter. It was my letter the M that one is so big,

I’ll go upstairs now… bye … see you tomorrow!

St. Nicholas Lottery at school

The note I got.

St. Nicholas arrived in the Netherlands last Saturday so it was time to do the St. Nicholas lottery at school and so we did. We all had to write down on a piece of paper our name and what we all would like to have as a present at St. Nicholas on December 5^th. We also had to write down a few of our hobbies. All the notes were put in a little box and one by one we all had to take one note out of the box.
There are 24 children in my class and not one of us took its own paper out! The teacher told us that this was the first time it all went right at once! Last year she had to do it over and over again because there were children who took there own note out of the box.
My note was from a girl, her note you can see on the photo above. It was a bit difficult to read because it was written with a pencil and wasn’t very clear but I’ll managed to fix out what she wanted. She wants everything with a Labrador dog on it and her hobbies are tennis, swimming and hockey.
We have to buy a present for the one we’ve got the note from and have to make as we call a “surprise” around it. The package has to be camouflaged, and the gift must be accompanied by a fitting poem. (lots of fun on a day when people are not only allowed, but expected, to make fun of each other in a friendly way).
I thought it was nice to make a tennis court around the present, but Mom had a nicer idée. A pair of web foots she could swim with, very, very big ones! Than I’ll make a poem to it which says that she has to walk with the big foots on to the hall of the school and back to the class room before she can open her present! Yeehh…. that’s nice so I’ll have a subject to write about in my poem otherwise it’s difficult to come up with a subject, were do you have to write about?














The United States of America

This afternoon I worked on my essay again… America.. I searched on the internet to find how many States the United States of America has, 50 or 52? I could not find it… but is there anyone who could help me? Is there someone who knows how many States there are?

It’s late already I’ll have to go to bed… bye … see you tomorrow!

Yes, I’ve got it!

Won the 150 points pin!

This evening in the Monday evening Bowling league I won a pin. I threw above the 150 points! When I was playing suddenly the people in de bowling room were saying I had to throw the bowling ball into the gutter. I didn’t understand what they were talking about, throw the ball into the gutter? Then suddenly there was Mom standing next to me a she also said that I had to throw the ball into the gutter… I had 156 point already and when I wanted to earn the 150 point pin I must not throw more than 160 point. If I did I had to go on for the next pin at 175 point. So I will never ever get the 150 points pin! The people in the bowling room counted my point and it was not possible to get 175 point in this game so it was better to choose for the 156 point and get the pin, then go on and get noting! I wanted that pin so badly so I threw the ball very softly on the ground so I was sure it finally landed up in the gutter and yes I got my award!
I couldn’t wait till it was time I get my pin… at last it was time! They mentioned my name through the microphone and I had to step forward to accept the pin…it was so cool!
The games I played afterwards weren’t very interesting but I didn’t mind…. I had my award… the pin!

I’ll go upstairs… bye … see you tomorrow

Santa has a suit!

Santa without a head...

Yesterday we bought a suit for the Santa we’re making for in the garden.
This afternoon, Mom and me we put it on the big body which ever has to become Santa. It wasn’t easy to do before it all sat on the right place. Now it all looks good. It’s a little odd to see it like this, he is sitting on a chair at the dinner table without a head…. His head we’re making is drying slowly and when its dry Grandma will draw a face on it…. I can’t wait to see that…

I’ll go to bed now… bye…see you tomorrow!

St. Nicholas has arrived in Sneek!

Rick of Sesame Street said hello to St. Nicholas when he arrived in Sneek (a town in the north part (Friesland) of the Netherlands. The picture shows St. Nicholas stepping down from his ship!

This morning I had my bowling tournament “The Haarlemmerliede tournament” ( region we live) I really had my day, game after game ( 4 times ) I broke my record! The people in de bowling room were screaming yes…every time I threw a strike or… ooohhhh…. when I just missed 1 pin. Everybody was on my hand and couldn’t believe I just play bowling less than 3 months and this was my first tournament…

On the website of the bowling club you can see that I stand on the first place in my class "Bowling Haarlemmerliede" I only have to keep this up next week when I have to play the next rounds….

This afternoon when we got home St. Nicholas just arrived in Sneek (the town in the north part of the Netherlands) and watched it all on TV, see the pictures above.
After that we went to Dewi and Jim’s birthday and we all played with the Lego Jim got for his birthday.














The first course of our dinner party, Dutch shrimp on toast.

After the birthday we had the Neighbor Dinner party and Dad made a wonderful dinner.
I’ll go to bed now….bye …see you tomorrow!

St. Martin's day!

Children in front of our house with the lantern.

Today we’ve got the lantern home from school for the celebration of St. Martin’s day tonight. I didn’t walk anymore this year, it’s only for little children, so I put my lantern at the front door, that was a beautiful sight! I stood at the door and gave the children a toy or a candy what ever they wanted.
15 minutes to 6 it was suddenly very crowded in front of our house. The little children from my school were there with there teachers to get a candy at Jasper’s home, Jasper's Mother does that every year for the little children of our school. It was a great few from our home to see at least 70 children with there lantern in the dark on our square in front of our house…

My lantern at the front door!

The basket with toys and candy

Shannon and Dewi singing there song at my door for a candy...

St. Martin’s mic mac
my mother watches tic tac
my father watches sesame street
isn’t that worth a candy…

Maureen and Rebecca singing at my door...




St. Martin, St. Martin
the cows they have a tail,
the girls they have a skirt,
there is St. Martin coming to you

I liked it this year giving the children candy and toys… most children liked the toys more than the candy… it’s almost 8 o’clock I don’t think that there will be coming more children…. So I’ll go upstairs and build a new Lego house.
Tomorrow will be a busy day, I have my first real bowling tournament … and afterwards we’ll have to go to Dewi and Jim’s birthday tomorrow and we have the neighbor dinner club tomorrow night, its Dads turn to cook!

Bye …see you tomorrow!

The head!

Santa's head

This morning at school I had my Topo test.. happily it wasn’t difficult, everything was still in my head! First I couldn’t get it in but today I got a 10 (A) for it. Ppphhhff.....I was so happy….

After school I worked with Mom on the Santa for our garden. We started to make the head of Santa. I blew up a balloon and we did papier-Mâché on it. It was a little bit dirty wet stuff but nice to make... now it has to dry... I’ll hope it will succeed.

This evening I worked on my Lego house again… it really becomes beautiful… in the sidebar under my picture dairy you can see the results.

It's time to go to bed.... bye ... see you tomorrow!

Yes, I’ve got an A-

This morning at school we almost directly got our mark for our essay, I’ve got a 9 (A-) I don’t believe it! I was the only one with such a good mark in the entire class. The teacher liked it. She also watched the photo CD of the Ajax museum which I put in the essay, She liked the photos.

Yeehh…. Now I have to start the new essay…America!
Maybe there is out there someone in America who reads my Blog who could help me with some nice American pictures or something very typical American from the state there live in?

I want to make my essay a little bit personal, that’s what I did with the Ajax essay. I told that my cousin Thomas last year tried to get at the Ajax soccer selection, but that I was sorry that he failed.. I also told that I went to Barcelona this summer and saw Frank Rijkaard coaching his FC Barcelona soccer team and made some pictures there which I put in my essay...
Mom said that these pieces made the essay my essay… so the teacher can see that I didn’t write the text right from the books…
So if there is someone out there who can help me to make a new great essay by sending me pictures or something like that I would be very happy…..! So when you respond I’ll put my e-mail address on the blog!



The children stamps are there today!


Just before we went home this morning the teacher gave us the children’s stamps order we had to take to the costumers today!

I’ll go upstairs… bye … see you tomorrow!

Books I borrowed from Granddad

Today at school we worked on the lantern again. Now it’s almost finished!
After school I worked al afternoon on my Topo. This one is so difficult.. France, a little of Switzerland, Italia... All that difficult names… Bourgogne, Marseille, Limoges, Toulouse, Bordeaux and then...pppfffhhhh... I can’t get it into my head it’s full!

Happily I did something nice after all that studying, I made new gags of newspapers for the Santa were going to make. I tore all little pieces ….ggrrr… that was nice…

This evening I went to granddad he had nice books for me about America which I can use tomorrow when we start the new essay.

Now I’ll go upstairs to watch some TV …bye … see you tomorrow…
