This morning I had to wait for a stop sign, just beside a construction area where they're building a bridge. Loads of construction workers have been busy there for months now. So I've seen this bridge coming together, seen all kinds of stages. And I started wondering who among them knows how to put together a bridge like that. How do they know which piece of metal needs to be attached to that other piece of metal, just to keep the concrete together. Is there a leader who's learned about these constructions in school?
And then I saw one of the construction workers with papers... He studied the papers, looked at the construction and studied the papers again... And then it became all clear to me: MEN DO READ MANUALS! They just don't do it at home (when putting together that nice piece of furniture for their wife), but only secretely at work! And they probably have this pact together of not telling the women...

Alphabet
Recently we bought a few buckets of these foam alphabets for the bathroom. It's really fun! And so educating for the kids... It's amazing how fast they learn to use it for spelling real words. I didn't know my kids were that smart! I left them alone for just a minute and when I checked back into the bathroom I found this:
They made many other words, but I don't want to brag... (wahahahaha! As if...)
Real Dutch
Yesterday we bought Mika his first wooden shoes; the blue ones. Lara's red ones were a bit on the small side, so we bought her the classic yellow ones. I like being Dutch!

Books
Two weeks ago I finished this one:
Still a beautiful story, all 1000 pages long. What a masterbrain it is that made this story up and jotted it down. Amazing!
And then, these were waiting for me:
Oh, how I love it to have a choice of "new" books to pick. Do I pick a thriller (Dominion - Randy Alcorn), will I re-read one of my childhood favourite series (The Little House series - Laure Ingalls Wilder) or am I in the mood for a regular fiction novel?
I picked the Little House series, so the coming weeks I'll jump into the world of American Pioneers. Lovely!
What are you reading right now? (women can come up with multiple titles, because we do that; read different books at the same time...)
