fien

some girls have all the fun

old habits

F started drawing again. friday evenings and saturdays are filled with ink and pencils and the friendship of an art school

kapitein winokio rules

every saturday morning M jumps out his bed to go to his art school class, it starts at 8.30, so no sleeping out here ... but today once more I understood completely his enthusiasm for 'zee in zicht', the theme of this school year - all year he and his class mates worked on a yellow submarine full of phantasy creatures. the expo was the crown jewel of circo paradiso, a giant festival full of theater, circus, music and the best forest game ever organised by the school and the local cc. 

of course at a pirate festival kapitein winiokio rules.

but we also discovered another captain, capitein gustav. look out for him at the summer festivals, his imaginarium du capitein gustav II is so beautiful, it is the real phantasy carrousel, all made of recycled items and driven by the power of the captain and some strong fathers. it was so gorgeous and not even finished yet, the premier will be august 2 in antwerp

easter

for the first time, M made an easter tree and hided the eggs in the morning, we had to look for them - feels like a closed period

daily bread

after winter we started to bake our own bread,  the smell when you open the oven, the taste of real flower and full grains & nuts and the magic of yeast is still a daily joy

when it feels like summer in april

we go for a piknik in the Ardennes

enjoy a magical forest nearby

learn how to be a roman

why we love a cold december

the oranges are wrapped again, we wait patiently for Sinterklaas and Zwarte Piet

our amaryllis will wake up again

decisions

sometimes we take decisions with unforseen consequences. sometimes it takes up to 4 month to find some balance. hopefully we are back on track
