Busy weekend and Axelle's school trip

Hi all,
Sorry it took some time to write a bit on the blog, but nothing much happened and so I did not know what to write about.
This weekend was a rather busy one. Started on Friday evening with a birthday party Axelle had to go to. Her best friend Lore celebrated her 11th birthday and so they organized a party with sleepover. Axelle had a great time!
Alain was invited for a dinner with ex colleagues and afterwards we were supposed to go to the movies together. As you can read: supposed to, you can already imagine that we did not get there. At 9.30pm I received a call from the restaurant to come over and join them, since he just got his plate on the table and it would be a close call to get to the movie theater.
We had a few glasses of wine and decided we would see the movie some other day.
On Saturday I went shopping with some friends and on Saturday evening we went to a new restaurant that recently opened in Elewijt: "Les Jumeaux" (or translated The twins).
Why this restaurant is called that way, I do not get it yet... The food we got served was delicious. We tried the whole tapa menu and got a nice selection of fried calamari, shrimp, fish, potatoes with spicy sauce, and a lot of other very tastefull preparations.
We ended the evening in Mechelen in a lounge bar and were very happy to get in bed by 2 am.
On Sunday Alain had a tennis match to play and I prepared Axelle's luggage for her school trip.
In the afternoon the sun came out and we could even have a bbq outside with my parents.

Today Axelle left for a full week to Durbuy (remember I wrote about this smallest village in the world a few weeks ago). 5th and 6th grade left this morning in 2 coaches. They are going to have a wonderful week! They'll do a lot of outdoor activities and also trying to get to know the students is one of the goals of this week trip. Friday afternoon they'll be back, so the house will be kind of quiet this week.
More about Axelle's week next weekend...

In the meantime I wish you all a nice week!

I haven't checked your blog lately, so was very pleasantly surprised to see all of your entries. I am happy to hear that you all are adjusting back to life "at home". We miss you around here a lot.

Hugs and Kisses,

De kerel van de bediening en de kok is een tweeling..
Allé dit is niet 100% zeker, maar als je ze ziet.. Het zijn echt 2 druppels water.
Vandaar waarschijnlijk de naam :).

Ik en mijn zus zijn er vorige week vrijdag geweest ;)
