Visit from Englang

The princess is 6, the little man is 4 and the little cousin has just turned 3 years old in this picture. Now the pri.... sorry the tween is 11, the little man 9 and the now bigger cousin is 8 in 2 weeks time.

Nana, Papa and cousin J arrived Tuesday night at 7pm-ish. They go home tomorrow night. Yesterday the weather was lovely - today it's grey but it haven't stopped the children from playing outside having a fantastic time. Last time cousin J was here in Denmark she was 3½ so she can't really remember it here. She did say after a few hours here Tuesday night:

"Aunty Mette I really like it here"

Awww I melted a bit there. We of course see her in England everytime we're there but it's speciel having her here.

Right now the kids have run off to the playground nearby despite the grey wet weather. They're having a great time.

Half term starts today and I sent a Rubik cube to school

BIG Rubik cube made for the little man.

It's Fastelavn Party at school today. The kids dress up. We made a Rubic cube for the little man. Actually I did. The tween went as an Justin Bieber fan because it had to be cool....
From today it's half term and next week Nana, Papa and cousin J are coming from England to stay a few days. YEAH!!!!

Chess on a Saturday

The little man very much in the game. He didn't win that game but won 2 out of his 4 games.

The little man plays chess at the school's chess club every Wednesday afternoon. He loves it. They go to tournaments and play against other schools. I go with him and I'm always very impressed how quiet there is when they play. There are sometimes 24 kids in a room. They shake their opponent's hand and then everybody starts and it goes completely quiet. Amazing.
Last Saturday the picture above is from. It was 5 lovely hours with chess for the kids and free bread and coffe for the parents. Win Win... Well apart for they didn't win but they had a lot of fun.
