dutch roots.

= asking people for their stuff

 on the  side of the road.

hahah...

i am basically 100% dutch

and i will tell my kids that they are

all dutch too!

[hopefully they wont figure out the truth...

cause ......

"if it ain't dutch, it aint much!"]

anyways

on my walk i came across some pilled up

toys on the side of the road.

jackpot!

i knocked on the door

and asked if i could take it.

imagine crazy lady with two dogs

two kids

and one sweaty nasty mom at your door

asking for your junk.

well we dutch are

penny pinchers

always lokking for a deal

and of course free is always the best!

so i picked up 

a car and

and a sit and spin

both really dirty

but cleaned up they work and look great!

check it out.

anyways

i have some pictures of 

the kids poolside

in case your interested.

jesse played in the big pool today!

 just chillin looking at her brother.

 "hey, everybody!!! i'm over here."

and my attempts at a smiling picture again...still not great ....one day!
