Forever winter?

The weather stays cold and drizzly in zsazsaland and the weatherman doesn't promise any improvement. There is no sunshine after the rain, only frost and more snow.

A few days ago, I read somewhere that in order to get enough vitamin D a child should go outside for at least two hours a week. Oops, I don't think we're getting at two hours a week. Jef plays outside in kindergarten but Abel and me stay inside the house most of the time. So I put 'going outside with the children' straight away on my to-do-list.

As soon as Jef came home from school, we put on our coats and boots and went hiking. As usual, we came home with a lot of junk branches, which this time I didn't throw away quietly but used to make a tree. I always keep bird food in the house, and so we decided to make a Bird Feeding Tree.


Everything was quiet for the first half hour but then they came flying: sparrows, blackbirds, a robin and, ehm, great tits. Yep, look it up.
And today I took this picture of the tail tits in the snow.

Well, winter is not so bad after all.

Come on spring!

Meet the Zsazsa's.

May I present to you: the Zsazsa's.
Starting on the left, the egg, that would be me. In real life, I have arms. Next to me is our youngest son Abel. He was born in September last year and the only thing he does is sleeping and drinking. We are very proud of him. The third one in the row is our eldest son Jef. He is four and the drawing is his. The last one on the drawing is the Master of the House. But I think that was already obvious.

We live in Belgium, a country that you may know for its chocolate, waffles, french fries and beer. Hence the eggshape.

I have been blogging for three years now in Dutch and now feel like crossing the borders using a language that is understood by more than 3 people and one dog.

World, here I come!
