Seeds in a jar

Often when we visit the orthodontist they have a competition going on.  This time you had the guess the number of seeds in the jar.

Weeks later, when we had completely forgotten about this we got a phone call and Floortje had guessed the exact amount of seeds in the jar: 1237! 

One happy girl when picking up that $50 gift card!

Kindness

Like we have done in years before, Floortje and I made up some small tokens of kindness that we could leave in places for people to find. Just spreading a bit of joy in the holiday season!

We would put them in shopping trolleys, leave them on a chair, hang them on car doors or put them in with the signed cc receipt at restaurants.  So much fun to do!

Tempting not to wait and secretly watch how people react. One lady in IKEA took it from her trolley and threw it on the floor, needless to say we picked it up and tried again with someone else. Hope the other people were a bit more appreciative, but I am sure they were.

Floortje's first 18 holes

For the last 1.5 years Floortje has been taking golf lessons. She is really enjoying it and just recently has had the chance to go out on the course and play. However, never 18 holes. So after Christmas she went out with Thijs and my mom and dad for a complete round.

As her coach told her, she would tee off around 150 yards from the hole and play it from there. We figured she might be fed up about half way through but she played all 18 holes! She loved racing the cart and also got some good advice from her dad.

Well done Floor!

 

Oxheart

A few restaurants in Houston have been on our list to check out and try. At the top of the list was Oxheart and with my parents in town to look after the girls we had a chance to go. It is located in the warehouse district and has an industrial feel to it. A lot of the dishes are vegetable based.

We sat at the counter from which we had a great view into the kitchen. Very nice dinner!
