I thought it was Spring.....

Well, apparently not today! We woke up to snow..... Snow in april?? That's not on! friday was a Bank Holiday in Denmark and it was certainly spring there. We sat outside having lunch (the left picture above) it was sunny all day and really warm.
Not so much today. Weird but lucky we didn't need to get out or go anywhere. We just snuggled up inside with tea, coffee and hot bread where the butter melts when you spread it. So nice and cosy!

Friday we went to see Junglebook. Oooh, it's good. We really enjoyed it and can highly recommend it if you haven't seen it yet.

What have you been doing today?

Love the summer holiday

It's near the end of our 2nd week of school holiday. We're enjoying the late mornings and lazy days. We visited mormor (grandma) at her summerhouse wich is by the beach. We went for a swim (or the kids and mormor did) I just enjoyed the view and the lovely breeze. The kids collected loads of rocks and painted them back at the summerhouse.

This was Tuesday. Wednesday was stormy, rainy and sooooo cold. Today it feels like October. We want the summer back and hoping it'll happen soon. Until then we'll keep eye on all garden things as it's really windy out there....

A day off....

Not fully for the children though but the daddy had the whole day off today. It's a bank holiday in Denmark, well kind of because the schools are open until 12pm.
When we picked the princess and little man up, we headed straight for the beach with blankets, snacks and a football ready to play. There I was enjoying the 3 of them playing while I lay on the blanket relaxing! Looks good, eh??!!

It was lovely but windy so the ice cream we decided to go home and enjoy. It's fathers day in Denmark today so we will spoil the daddy with a home cooked Indian meal tonight!

Have you had a lovely Wednesday??

A week of sunshine!

After rain comes sun....

Or at least that's what happened here. Monday was as warm and sunny as Sunday had been grey and rainy!! Our neighbour was moving yesterday and came to tell us they had a few things we could have if interested. Of course we were and the princess and little man were thrilled when they saw what it was....

Think the daddy was the most excited about this...

The last day of April was the first day we have had dinner outside this year so far. Hopefully there will be many more to come...

It was a cheeky it's-pay-day-take-away dinner we had! Pizza with lots of fresh salad, tomatoes, cucumber and spring onions. A nice summery meal!

Spring Snap Slappers....

Today it's a tiny bit spring like but only a tiny bit! It's freezing but sunny. The toys in the garden are waiting to be played with.

Beach Style!

A day at the beach last summer. The beach is only ten minutes from our house and we do go there in all kinds of weather. Thought it had to be a sunny picture from there for you to see. There were lots of little harmless jellyfish in the water that day, which made the little man and the princess a bit wary of going in the water.

Sun-Shining-Summer-Sunday-Suddenly-Showed....

.... up! Sorry ran out of words starting with S that I could use.

Here in tiny Denmark the sun has been shining from a clear blue sky since we got up this morning. It's warm and so lovely. We've been wearing summer clothes again and been bare foot. The little man asked after lunch if he should wear shoes outside or just feet. Ah.. just feet is fine honey:) Oh, and if we could call him Stanley from now, please (from the film Cars).
Autumn started nearly a month ago and suddenly the weather decides to be all summery.... Apparently next week should be sunny and warm here, and come the weekend (already October then) it's supposed to be really nice and warm. That's good for the princess though because her school has a themed week from tomorrow. They work across the classes and make all sorts of stuff. Saturday is a school day for the children and family come to see what they've been up in the week.
It's now close to bedtime and the little man, ups sorry, Stanley and the princess are relaxing watching Wizard of Oz.

A summerday at the beach.

This is the beach closest to where we live. Only 10 minutes away.

Playing and relaxing in the sand.... It's lovely and that I do love! Not so happy though when we then bring back the whole (okay nearly the whole...) beach. Sand everywhere in the house!

4 more days and we're off to England.

Not long now then we are going on holiday. We're staying at nana and papa's house as usual. They always spoil us. I can't wait to have chocolate Eclaires and Indian take away.... I think donuts are very high up on my daughter and her daddy's list. Shoe shopping is very high up on my list. Okay shopping in general really.....!!!

This week the children and I are just pottering about... We went to see morfar (Danish for grandad) He let us pull up some of his home grown carrots. Hard work it looks like pulling those carrots up. Luckily their cousin helped out....

Flip Flop Happiness.....

I bought my children flip flops for only £3.50 a pair. Aaaahhh what joy they brought with them. Especially my son was sooooo excited. He put his flip flops on straight away..... come bedtime refusing to take them off!!! So he slept with them on....

As happy as my daugther was with her flip flops, she's too cool to join in with the sillyness that it surely is to sleep with them on!!!!

They both insisted on wearing them this morning, which was fine inside but too cold outside. So as popular as I was yesterday when I gave them the flip flops, was I unpopular this morning..... We eventually agreed to bring them and they could wear them inside at school and nursery!
