Yesterday evening I watched the soccer game between Orange and Serbia, (The Europian under 21 soccer championship) man what a beautiful game! Orange (they young Dutch team) played fabulous and they won the game by 4-1 and became the Europian Champion 2007!
This afternoon there was the honoring of the team in Heerenveen, man what did they open a lot of bottles champagne!

Here you can see they are spraying the champagne.... cool eh?

Go and watch TV for awhile….bye…. see you tomorrow!

Rain!

Dark clouds above our home……..

Tonight after dinner Mark and I and a couple of other kids from my class, planned to go to Mebar (festival week in our village) to see the singer Wolter Kroes on stage. But on our way to the village centre it suddenly became terribly dark and it started to rain, so we took a brake at the snack bar we just passed by and wait there till the weather would we something better.

That lasted pretty long, it didn’t stop raining. We never got to Mebar, but it was rather nice at the snack bar. Everyone had some money so we bought some pear ice creams and chewing gum balls!

Then it became pretty late so we all decided to go home and go through the bad rain. I was soaking wet when I got home and was cold all over!

Will play with Bo for awhile ….bye see you tomorrow!

Yes, internet is back!

We are reconnected to the rest of the world again…..

Yeah… . that was crazy for almost a week we had no Internet (the connection with the provider wasn’t working(?) No Blogging, couldn’t do anything at the computer, that was rather strange man! Monday afternoon suddenly we had no Internet.... But fortunately it’s working now so I can write on my blog again. Now I’ll have to go to school but tonight I’ll write again…. bye see you later!

Father’s day!

This is the head which I made for father’s day....

Monday morning at school we started making a father's day present. We had to make our father's head all from clay. In the head we had to make a hole in which we had to put cotton-wool with garden cress seeds.

Wednesday we already had to paint the head, but that was in fact too early. Almost everyone’s head started to crack because we painted it too early before it was completely dry, that was too bad!

Afterwards we stuffed the head with cotton-wool and had put the seeds in and water it very carefully. Well this morning when I gave Dad his present the seeds already had grown quite a lot, just watch the photo! Dad loved his present!

This afternoon we went to Grandpa Frans in Purmerend to bring him a father’s day present. And after that we went to Grandpa Ron to bring him a father’s day present.

Tomorrow it’s school again so I’ll go upstairs…bye…see you later!

Nothing special to mention!

After dinner I just went for a little ride on my bike….

So here I am again! I’ve not been at home very much this week. The weather was great these last few days so I’ve spend most of my time outside immediately after school. Did a bit of cycling or chatted with the others in or near the (our) tree.

School is almost over, just a couple of weeks more to go. At school we are rather busy rehearsing the final school musical and we don’t have much homework anymore.

This afternoon we have been to Amsterdam and there I’ve bought me a cool computer game, Fifa World Cup Germany 2006, so cool man!

This is such a cool game man! Go and play it for awhile now…..bye…see you later!

Sporting day!

Here we are doing a baseball game on the field just beside the school....

Today we had our yearly sporting day. In the morning we had a competition in which we played all sorts of sporting games with small teams. That went pretty good and my team and I made a lot of points.

In the afternoon we had a baseball competition, the only problem was that we had to wait so long before everyone played their game. That waiting was so boring….... but then suddenly mom came by with Bo! That was great so Mark and I played with Bo for awhile.

Bo loved it…. kids... attention... and watching the ball...

Mark is watching Bo who tries to get his attention....

Go upstairs... later!

Evening walk with Bo!

All quads on the trailer...

This weekend there was a speed & fun happy Wheels, American festival at Silverstone at the cart track parking area which is not far from our home. Yesterday I had been there already a couple of times to watch all the cars. Man there were cars, large ones so beautiful, so cool!

In our back yard you could hear the tires shrieking…

Tonight when we had a walk with Bo they were clearing everything and there were hardly any cars left, only a couple of quads on a trailer.

Here we are already on our way back home… ..

Go upstairs... later!

Summer party cancelled!

Summer party at the schoolyard of my school…..

This afternoon when school went out I stayed at the schoolyard just to help to get everything ready for the party, the party started at 04.00PM.

The party started rather nice, I won quite al lot of nice little prizes by doing the games at the different stands. I ate a few hamburgers, lots of popcorn and lots of candies! But then we suddenly heard that there was heavy weather on its way. In Amstelveen (a few miles from here) there was already one dead caused by the lightning and that there was a lot of rain and the streets were overflowed by the water..

Here it became already very dark….

At 6.15PM it already became pretty dark and there was from time to time already lightning. At 6.45PM they said that the party was called off and all the teachers started to pack all the things. Too bad the party would last up till 8.00PM!

Within 15 minutes most of the people left because it already started to rain. We just opened the door to our home and the heavy weather started. That was the end of the summer party 2007… too bad man!

Go upstairs....later!

Mom's birthday!

Today june 6th is Mom’s birthday, well Mom happy birthday!

Yes, I made the frontpage again!

The weekly paper...

Tonight when the weekly newspaper came I immediately saw that a photo of me was on the frontpage!

Last Saturday there was the early summer fair here in our village and there was a demonstration of the voluntary fire brigade. I was only for one minute on the square were the fire brigade was and there I saw Jan Verhoog the photographer of the weekly paper. I just said to Thomas from my class who was standing next to me… "Thomas, just stoop otherwise we will not be on the picture the photographer will take from the fire and then we won’t be in the next newspaper!" Well we succeeded! We’re almost in the middle of the photo, cool eh?

Thomas and I hanging over the fence just trying to get in the picture….

Later!

Last bowling league!

Tonight I finally got the bowling ball I ordered more than 1 ½ years ago.. . but it’s a cool one man!

Tonight it was the last bowling league of the season. After the game we all stayed for dinner at the Zoete Inval.

Here we all are at the table…....

Later on there was the distribution of the prices for the best bowlers of the season 2006/2007. Franka got 2 prices, one for the most increased bowler of the year (that was I last year) and one for the highest series of the new ones. That cup is beautiful man; it is a very large challenge-cup!

Franka with her cups!

I haven’t won a price this year; no I am not the best player of the club and the fastest increased player cup I won last year, therefore..... But they have asked me to participate to the National League. Then you have to bowl every Sunday somewhere in the region with your team. Well, I said yes immediately, man that is so cool to participate in those leagues. So you have to play in all the bowling houses in this region (North part of the Netherlands) exciting!

To bad the bowling season is over already…... But I’ll have to play one more tournament next Saturday just right here in my own bowling club, that’s a very nice tournament!

Go upstairs....bye….. later!

Early summer fair in our village!

Fire brigade in our village.....

This morning we have been to the village centre because there was the yearly pre summer fair. All sorts of stands in which they sold al sorts of goods, also the fire brigade had an open day. On the big square in the village centre all fire brigade carages were there and there were also fire brigade men who showed how you have to extinguish a fire.

Extinguishing a fire with the fire brigade…

Here are all the fire brigade carages....

It was a nice fair, I also have bought a beautiful crystal with a soccer player in it (piece of glass in which they made a picture of a soccer player in it by a laser machine). I collect those crystal pieces I have about 14 pieces of them right now, they are so cool man!

Here Dad and I are examining everything pretty well...

Tonight we had meat from the barbecue for dinner. We also had asparagus with ham and eggs....mmmmm that is so delicious. These asparagus were extra nice they were given to Dad by someone from work who had bought them especially in Limburg those are the finest ones you can get they are so very delicious, really the best you can get……… mmmmmm!

Here are Dad and I really enjoying dinner…

The asparagus from Limburg....mmmmmm... these ones are so great man!
