Two hours later the same, only now it is the little ones in the car, seven in total, and our destination this time is the preschool. Due to limited parking space near the school, it is always unsure whether we find a place to ‘unload’ near the school or if we have to walk from the car to the school.
Next stop: Risky’s school to pick him and Emily up, and from there back home again. While the kids have a small snack, and do their homework, I check my emails and FB messages. Of course I read the news from the Dutch news site. I don’t like reading the embarrassing story about the Euro 2016 exit for the Dutch soccer team, OMG total disappointment.
I look at the time and see it is time to go and pick up the kids, so on our way again. First we pick up the little ones, and two of our staff members come along to help. Upon entering the school premises I see Benny already running around, and there is Roby, and Martin. Okay so let’s count heads, Joshua, Memey, Martin, Roby, Benny, Jimmy, who is missing? Ah Harry, yes, there he comes.
Quickly to the other school to pick up Lisa! Finally everybody is home again!
It is three ‘o clock in the afternoon, and all the kids are awake from their nap, and having a snack. I am either working behind the computer, or in the kitchen cooking. From where I sit I can hear the children’s voices, laughing, yelling, and arguing, sometimes crying. I know they are happy. We have pretty much the same routines everyday, which makes their life well-structures and therefore easy to understand. In a little while dinner will be served, and then it is time for a nice cool bath!
The evenings are usually filled with fun inside, watching television, and drinking a glass of milk. Most of the days I brush the children’s teeth, and then Oh dear, another day has gone by, time to sleep!
