I'll be spending many hours in
the swimming pool this week.
My two oldest little ones
start taking swim lessons.
What are you up to this week?

BeantwoordenVerwijderenZwemles, oh gelukkig is die tijd voorbij. Dat was altijd op zo'n vervelende tijd. Maar een van mijn kids heeft in de vakantie toen ook zijn B gehaald.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenEn nu is het hier nog gewoon werk, en de dagelijkse dingen.
Succes hoor, groetjes Lia
I love the Eleanor quote. So very true. ;) So much is happening here as we are migrating back to sea in the next couple of weeks.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI've always loved that Eleanor Roosevelt quote - so true. She was a pretty amazing woman full of chutzpah and strength.

Hi Saskia Sweetie...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLooks like you are going to be having some fun in the water. (We have taught 5 of our 8 grandchildren how to swim). We love swimming and with a pool in our backyard we are advocates of all kids learning to swim.
Thank you for sharing that beautiful thought from Eleanor Roosevelt. She was a very wise woman.
Stop by soon. You have been sorely missed.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

Hoi Saskia,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenDat wordt een drukke tijd met die zwemlessen. Ik was blij dat het erop zat om eerlijk te zijn.
Deze week twee ochtenden werken. Morgenmiddag naar een verjaardag en 's avonds voetbal kijken. Woensdagmiddag met de kids naar de kapper en ik hoop donderdag en vrijdag op het strand te liggen. De temperaturen gaan in ieder geval goed omhoog.
Liefs Ester
Hallo Saskia.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenLeuke tekst.
Huis beetje netjes maken nu het iets minder warm is, werken en voorbereidingen treffen voor een surpriseparty voor mijn oudste dochter die vrijdag haar diploma voor de Pabo krijgt.
