Medieval weekend

The witches against the knights...here is a friendly witch and then here is a 3-headed witch....our yearly Etterbeek medieval event. Great beers (so my parents tell me), sausages and fizzy drinks as well as games and music. There was a man playing 'drums' (symbals) across the floor.
We also joined the jazz events in the centre of Brussels and I had my first Thai meal (not impressed and ate the chicken without the peanut sauce). So won't be going to Thailand soon then?
It was another long weekend so we went to Walibi on the Monday.
It was such a beautiful sunny weekend, we got the swimming pool out for the first time. Anabel from nextdoor came to play one evening.

Sunny weekend with cousin

What a turn out for the weather for our long weekend in Belgium. Tia, Tio and Rodrigo are visiting. We went to Planckendael (zoo, live animals), Toy museum in Mechelen, Walibi and Aqualibi (my favourite rite are the roller coasters ladybird and mine + water slides) and African Museum and Tervuren Park (dead animals and loads in a new exhibition in the basement). I helped Rodrigo in and out of the cars in Walibi, well I kind of helped. Loved to run around with and after Rodrigo. Here are lots of smiley faces. I am also eating three of my favourite foods - bread, pizza and (just eaten, so can not see) spaghetti bolognaise.

my first trip away from home with school

I went away for 2 nights and 3 days with the school with no mamã and papá (nor grandparents, aunts/unclses). Can you believe it, at 6.5 yrs old? I slept on the top bed and Anaël bottom bed. The boys all slept together. We made our breakfast - chocolate and milk (?!). We did circus activities - hence my comical face.

Mother's Day

It's mamã's day and I've made lots of things at school - I have grown some herbs, made a card with hearts and a story inside + photo, I've made a box with cakes inside and a decorative bag and envelope. Mamã was very surprised and very happy - got loads of cuddles and kisses :-). Mamã says she is also lucky as we celebrated 3 times this year - english in march, portuguese last week Sunday and now the belgium one today :-)

School Fête

Our yearly school fête and this year we had multiple days of sports activities - I throw javelin 7 m, shotput 4 m, ran 400 metres, did long jump (starting from stationary position) 1m.
at the school fête we had a list of activities and needed to do at least 10 including 'sack' race. Here I am with papá. The weather was not so good but we live so close we wait home in between and watched "Hugo" on DVD (a very good film, i think more for my mamã and papá). We returned late for the barbecue and listened to the two bands of school kids and 1 of adults. I had a good sleep that night :-)
