Fall in is the air! Even though it is still over 30 degC every day, we are noticing the changes. The mornings are slightly cooler and the evenings are just wonderful. So nice! But the biggest sign of fall must be all the beautiful mushrooms that are everywhere at the moment! So many and so many different ones too, I really enjoy seeing them.
Yesterday morning Floortje and I were out for a run around the lake and afterwards we took some pictures so you can enjoy them too :)
The second week of school is over. Famke is doing great!
Lots of new things this year: an 8 period schedule, more homework, changing for PE, tardy sweeps, free seating at lunch, car rider line and a locker! Exciting stuff!
The Texans are off to a good start of the season by beating the Washington Redskins today.
Go Texans!
With school started it was time to sort through last years stuff to make room for new work.
While going through Floortje's stuff I came across these two things I wanted to share with you. The first one is a true story (made a bit more dramatic by the author for story purposes) and the second one is a self portrait.
After three months of summer, lots of travelling, fun, family and friends the time has come to go back to school!
Big changes for Famke as she is no longer an elementary school student but starting sixth grade at Seven Lakes Junior High school. This means lots of new responsibilities. Changing classes for every subject, a locker, more freedom (read phones, gum, etc) and saxophone lessons!
Floortje is returning to Stanley Elementary in third grade. She will now also have to change classes as one teacher will give her English and social studies lessons, while the other one will teach science and math.
Have a great year girls!
On our last weekend before school started we took the girls to Top Golf. This is a golf/entertainment place here in Houston where golf and having a bit of fun come together.
It is a three floor setting with bays on each level. Each bay can accommodate about six people. You can order food and drinks and hit some balls at the same time. All the balls are microchipped and you choose a game on the screens. You then take turns hitting some balls at the different targets located on the 'fairway' in front of you. Depending on your distance to the set targets you can earn points. Lots of fun!
Thijs took his time teaching his girls, sweet!
After a great summer in Holland and Italy it is always nice to come home. Especially when meeting up with good friends for dinner!
