An Exciting Day!

Yesterday we were up at 6:00am! Patrick was going to work with his uncle Dennis at van Gansewinkel and Tam was going to watch Colin while Angelique went to work in Twello at the Hair Salon.
    Patrick and Dennis had to be at work by 7:00am so they could be done work earlier. They picked up the garbage truck and drove to Nijbroek where they had to pick up two guys that stand on the back of the garbage truck. But when they got there they figured out they had to wait 20 minutes for them to show up. Dennis said lets do a couple of kliko's because by the time we finish them the two guys will be there. Patrick got out and helped Dennis for a bit to see how its done. After he did it by himself! What a good helper standing on the back of the truck and helping speed up the process. Patrick said Dennis was the best truck driver he has ever seen, squeezing threw tight spaces and taking very tricky corners. He learned a lot from going to work with Dennis. Thank you Dennis! Dennis and Patrick finished work around 1:00pm.
    Colin and Angelique arrived at 7:00am where Tam was waiting downstairs with her tea. Angelique filled Tam in on everything she needed to know and headed off to work. Tam and Colin played marbles where they took a box and made 3 holes worth different points. Colin ended up beating Tam 21 to 14. After Colin was hungry so he helped Tam make a hard boiled egg. They sat down and ate breakfast together. After they started to make the dough for Gingerbread Cookies. They made shapes and watched them bake in the oven. Tam and Colin made purple, green and red icing for when the cookies were cooled. They had fun decorating cookies then played a game of hide and seek. Tam got worried in the one round because she couldn't find Colin until she went outside to ask Monique if she had seen Colin and there he was hiding outside! If Tam lost him what would she say to Angelique and Dennis! "Uh sorry but your kid is gone, we tried to find him but we failed. Sorry!" After Hide and Seek they played LEGO and built a house with a garage. They went outside to play catch but Dennis showed up right at that moment but they played catch for a little bit. Thanks Colin for being such a good kid, Tam enjoyed our day!
After Dennis and Colin went home we had a relaxing afternoon and watched the Euro Cup against Holland and Denmark where they lost 1-0.
What a very good and amazing day!
