Scrap a Banner

One of the challenges (Resolutions at the Let's Scrap blog hop was to use a banner in your LO. Not too hard you can say. Well, I was doing this LO and made a banner to use and at the end (LO was done) I forgot the banner! Well, found a spot for it and it worked out fine. This is a pic of DH Richard coaching his hockey team made by a professional photographer a couple of weeks ago. Always makes me proud when I look at him like that (He is a tough ##%$#% coach!)
This became a layout with lots of dimensions and goodies.

Field day at school / Sportdag op school

Field day at school is always fun. The last two years the weather has been HOT and field day became a challenge to get enough fluids in. Parents are worried about heat strokes, dehydration and all other stuff (not me, let the kids have fun!) Children have fun anyways. Normally I always join and take photos the whole day but last years field day I was to pregnant and warm to atttend. I did get the chance to take some photos just before the day started.

Sportdag op school is ieder jaar weer leuk. De laatste twee jaar was het erg heet toen er sportdag was. Het was een uitdaging om te zorgen dat de kinderen genoeg vocht binnenkregen. Ouders waren bezorgd over zonnesteken en uitgedroogde kinderen (ik niet, laat ze maar lekker plezier hebben) Kinderen hebben toch wel plezier. Normaal gesproken ben ik ook de hele dag aanwezig om foto's te maken maar afgelopen keer was ik te zwanger en had het te warm om daar de hele dag te lopen.  Ik had gelukkig wel de kans om voorafgaand nog even een paar foto's te maken.

School Swimming Championships / Schoolzwemkampioenschappen

On November the 5th of 2008 we had the School Swimmingchampionships in De Tongelreep. De Boog, Jorams school joined for the very first time and Joram was one of the enthusiastic swimmers in the relay race. As parents we did not have the highest expectations but as always said: Joining is much more important than winning! But the unexpected happened and the little ones from grade 1 and 2 won the second price. And that in a pool full with experienced and even race swimmers. They were so proud (and so were we as parents)

The 'Champions' part of the title is handcut

Op 5 november 2008 waren er de schoolzwemkampioenschappen in De Tongelreep. Jorams school De Boog deed voor het eerst mee en Joram was een van de enthousiaste zwemmers in het estafetteteam. Wij als ouders hadden niet de hoogste verwachtingen van de dag maar zoals altijd wordt gezegd: Meedoen is belangrijker dan winnen! Maar laten die ukkies van groep 3 en 4 nu net de tweede prijs winnen. En dat in een zwembad vol met ervaren teams en zelfs wedstrijdzwemmers. En wat waren ze trots! (en wij als ouders natuurlijk ook!)
