Clumsy & Clumsiest in action

Or: The Untoolables vs. the drill
Or: Our weekend

We discovered the cutest little antique store in The Hague. Originally we went in there to find my mom a birthday gift. But everything in there said; buy me, buy ME, Meeheeee! It was hard but we could withhold from buying the entire store and found a cute mirror/ coat hanger on sale; which we needed for ages. No more: "Oh, you can leave you coat on the table, we are to lazy to buy coathooks".

Now we had to hang it on the wall.
My father did not exactly pass along the bob-the-builder gene my grandfather had. Mr. Sweety did inherent the two left hands of his father. Clumsy & Clumsiest in action. A Casa Sweety Tool Challenge: All thinkable tools and cheating are allowed.

My grandfather did leave me a drill. So we used that and a gazillion different screwdrivers. When the screws wouldn’t go in the plug in the wall any further we used a hammer; with the risk of screwing up the screw system. When it was too far in *insert &^@*# and bwahahahaha* we used some pliers to pull the screw a little bit back out again.

But it hangs! Yay!

*tiptoeing away from the tool scene, praying the mirror coat thing will stay on the wall*

What did we win by beating this challenge???

A new pair of flip-flops

Now did I deserve that or what????
Mr. Sweety? I know he worked hard too! He can watch me in these flip-flops.

A new CD!

Maroon 5 finally made it across the pond!
Mr. Sweety? Okay he’s no big fan of Maroon 5. He thinks they’re OK. OK will have to do honey!

A yummy pancake breakfast

Today we made pancakes for breakfast. Leah asked me if we differentiate between US pancakes and Dutch pancakes (pannekoeken). Yes we do! Dutch pannekoeken look & taste very different from US pancakes. Also Ducth pannekoeken are NOT eaten for breakfast but for dinner (or lunch).

Nachos cheese dinner

A well deserved easy dinner; for two

Alas, our weekend is almost over. Hope you’re all enjoying your 4th of July weekend!
