41 random pictures of the previous 9 weeks

 

1) Wasps in France are attracted to chicken meat...chicken nuggets to be specific, much more than sweet drinks.  We've done 3 weeks of testing (as my children are rather monotoneous in their travel food choice) and they don't come to Fanta, Coke, and the alike...yet don't dare to have a chicken nugget on your plate.  This particular wasp was remarkably agile to break off pieces of meat and fly off with them. 

2) Rodin chasing a toy mouse

3) The arid "grassland" in the nearby park at the SportOase was begging for the rain to come. So were we.  

4) The arid dusty fields at the CSA farm were hard to harvest end of August but by mid-September that had changed dramatically after some rain after all.  Softer darker ground, fog and the growing pumpkins alerting me that Summer was over and Autumn around the corner. 

5) Beertje wanted zucchini soup. By selecting this monstrous hug zucchini to harvest...he sure got plenty of zucchini soup. 

6) Smiling with their umbrella's. 

7) September also brought rainbows

8) A cat that wanted to join in for a cat puzzle (or just wrecking any random box)

9) We needed 10 Buderus interventions between June and September and one of our plumber to get some heating issues sorted out.   No urgency in this heat struck summer but by the end of September I was just so done with it and I wanted to have the choice to turn on my heating if I wanted.

touch wood...it seems to be working now for the last 2 weeks. 

10) the coolest neighbourhood store

11) Boosted again

12) Cleaning up in my parent's underground crawling space brings up a lot of rubbish but also a lot of nostalgia (to be thrown out...unless someone feels like getting some old moulded video cassettes with a wide range of movies taped from the TV in the 90ies?)

13) Rodin loving LEGO too

14) Visiting my mom and my father with the boys

15) My first home made gazpacho

16) Judo season started again

17) the traditional fireworks during the fair in Leuven have been replaced by a lasershow. I was curious so the children could stay awake and off we went later in the evening. Gosh it was deadly boring and uneventful and not worth to lose sleep over.

17) There were some international badminton tournaments in the sportoase. 

18) Funny sign

19) secret

20) A camp on the schoolground

21) When you buy a anti flea product for your Maine Coon at his size...apparently it comes in a "dog" package. (content is the same, it was double checked and confirmed we could admit this to our cat). 

22) Those 2 goofballs together

23) Those 2 goofballs together

24) Someone biked while talking into a pole and got a decorated eye for 2 weeks. 

25) Those virusses at home 

26) Testriding electrical vehicles. 

27) birthday congratulations
