You know it's gonna be a great day when.....

Your 10 year old says:

"you look like a filmstar, mummy"

When you come out from the bathroom on a Monday morning.
I nearly asked her what she wanted or needed me to do or what she'd done but decided not to. Maybe she did just mean I looked amazing.
Well, I chose to believe that's what she meant.

It's going to be a lovely day.

The Wedding!

Our dear friends got married on Saturday and we were there. We flew in from Denmark early in the morning, got our hire car and drove to the hotel. It took a while as my dear husband was so scared of harming the hire car....
We had plenty of time to kill though so a bit of shopping was done. Got myself a pair of shoes and some sunglasses. Oh, we of course got lots of little things for the little man and the princess who we had left in Denmark with mormor (my mum) too. After a big plate of English breakfast and the shopping, we found the village and the hotel. Such a lovely place, our room was behind the green door.

The ceremony was lovely and after we sat in the garden having drinks and nibbles. Dinner was ready - an amazing bbq and dessert was an icecream van (yes I of course did not get a picture of it) and cupcakes. Absolutely amazing.

We were back in Denmark again Sunday night after 36 hours in England and a wonderful time at a fantastisc Wedding.

Disney The Little Mermaid.

We saw the musical last Saturday in the Opera House in Copenhagen. It was AMAZING. When it finished we all stood clapping and cheering for several minutes. The kids loved it and so did we.

Here's the daddy and the diglots waiting outside the Opera House. Not sure if they thought Ariel would come out of the water.....

Actually they were probably looking at Amalienborg (where the Danish Queen lives) as it was just across from the Opera House.

Finally in our seats and waiting for it all to start.....

If you visit Copenhagen in the next month or so you should go see it. It's amazing!

The skating continues

The little man decided he needed a big skateboard now so he spent all his pocket money on one... The princess thought she better get one as well so she spent her pocket money on one too...
The daddy took them to the path behind our garden to introduce the princess to the skating world. It's still unknown to us (and herself I think) why she wanted a skateboard. But maybe she'll go from being a princess to a skater girl soon... who knows? The daddy got to show off a bit of his skater skills whilst teaching his daughter. Think he was well happy that he was better than her as the little man soon, if not already, is better than him...
It only took a few minutes for the little man to get used to the bigger skateboard and then he didn't need the daddy's advice anymore! Now we just need to find out where the closest good skatepark is.

Yet another fun afternoon at the library.

The little man headed straight for the iPad. The princess for the art table but soon after the little man  joined her. The princess found new books to read. She has at this exact moment read 9961 pages and will tomorrow reach the 10.000 pages mark which means that Tuesday next week at morning assembly the Headmaster will hand over a backpack and say well done. I'll show pictures of that next week.

Elvis came and went....

And he did soooo well both at the dress rehearsal Wednesday and at the big night Friday. The little man aka  "Elvis" mimed and danced to Jailhouse Rock in front of 300 people. He was brilliant! After the show Friday there was a party and the little man and princess danced the night away or until it finished at 8pm!

The daddy and the diglots....

The little man looks like his daddy and is as stubborn as his him  - His daddy can do no wrong and is his best friend and absolute favourite person in the world. The princess can melt her daddy's heart just by looking at him and she wraps him around her finger which she is well aware of! She still thinks her daddy is the coolest and tell him everything. How lucky am I to have such a good daddy for our children??

Look who likes Frozen Yogurt....

Pretty cool I think...

A 90th Birthday Party.

We've just been to England this weekend for a short visit. Saturday we celebrated the daddy's grandad - the diglot's great grandad as he turned 90 on New Years Eve. It was a supriseparty - the princess and little man were very excited to see how great grandad would react. They stood in the door with their little cousin waiting him to arrive.

And a big suprise it was... Grandad had no idea and he was very touched to see so many people and us of course! There was fantastic food and of course cake - a very special birthdaycake.

The daddy and little man are always up for a photo and they looked good, didn't they?

What a great day...

So my oldest friend got married yesterday..... There was fantastic food, lots of chatting, 4 childhood friends catching up, singing Proud Mary by Tina Turner with dancing and there's a video which will never be seen.... In the heat of dancing and singing there was talk about how fantastic it must look... Why not put it on youtube!!! Well, that'll never happen and you guys will thank me for that I promise you!
There were pictures though of the 4 childhood friends (yes I'm one of them) - some better than others... This one is my favourite as it just sums us up as friends.

Real Magic....

No no it's real, I tell you. The daddy, the little man and the princess are real magicians. You can see it all here with your own eyes. It's seriously good magic, isn't it?

Have you ever seen anything like it? No, neither have I... I'm so proud of my husband and our children for their amazing talent!

The Wedding!

We just got back to Denmark this afternoon after 6 days in England and the most amazing wedding where there was a magician, so now the little man constantly does his magic tricks! They're good as long as you remember to close your eyes when told to.... I'm too tired to write anything more so will just show a few photos instead! Enjoy....

Amazing day.....

I'm a feeder....

.... and an amazing host!! (No, no need for being modest, I'm a brilliant host) My speciality is when we have playmates over. Today we have had 2 extra children here and of course there's homemade pølsehorn (sausage rolls), lemonade and fruit! The little man's mate is a new school mate who's not been here before. When I picked them up he ran to me and said "I have been so excited all morning waiting for you to come and pick us up so I can go to the little man's house and play" After that he can do no wrong!! Now I'm boasting anyway, I might as well mention a few of the other things the playmates have been heard saying:  "It's very nice here" and "I love the pølsehorn".

So I feel it's okay to say I'm a brilliant host!
