Lucia party at school and real candles....

In front of the mirror, the princess is rocking with a lipgloss in her hand. She's miming the words to James Blunt "You're beautiful" which is playing loudly on her pink CD-player.

Last night this was. She's warming up to her big performace tonight at school! Her class are starting the party by walking and singing holding a candle, all dressed in white. It's called Lucia (normally done on the 13th december. Lucia means light 'lux' in Latin) It'll be very cute to see 29 six year olds doing that and very scary.... Children with real candles, walking in a line singing and "Uh... hey mummy and daddy" Ups the child in front is on fire...... No, of course that's not gonna happen. I am making 2 very tight plaits on the princess though, no need to temp faith is there?

Old married couple...

The princess and the little man are like an old couple when they play sometimes. This conversation went on between them or maybe more a one way conversation the princess had: "Can you close the door" "Can you move this?" "Really why don't you do it?" "I have asked you more than once" "I ask and ask and you just don't listen" The little man seems immune to all the questions. Big sigh... the princess gives up. "Come on lets go play then" the little man follows.

Father Christmas came and went....

... and so did Nana. The weekend has been fantastic and Sunday the little "nisse" came and left things in the stockings. Play Dough and a candy cane for the princess and the little man which were received with loud screams of joy! Father Christmas came on friday night on a boat and he was in town again yesterday at the Christmas market, handing out sweets and making Nana smile!

With a stick the princess and the little man excitedly fished for a present, both luckily catching one each.

The first candle in the Advent decoration was lit. Not a very traditional Advent decoration but I love making my own special one.

The two lovely boxes are from my aunty. Not for me but for the princess and the little man, both came with lovely chocolate in. I think the chocolate should be shared with the adults (as in me and their daddy)! That's only fair, don't you think?

Santa Claus is coming to town...

.... it's true. Today at 4pm he will arrive by boat. We will be at the harbour waiting in excitement! It's a lovely tradition. Father Christmas comes every year to light the two big Christmas trees at each end of the shopping street.
Even more exciting it'll get tonight as Nana arrives (not by boat) on a plane from England with a suitcase full of goodies! How do I know about the goodies? Well, we were asked what we wished for her to bring over from England.... A long list was written!
Sunday is the first Sunday in Advent and in our house a little "nisse" (elf) leaves a little toy and some sweets in the princess' and the little man's Christmas stockings. There's also a Christmas market down town which we'll take Nana to see. The princess will be bringing her saved up pocket money in case (these were her exact words) "I need to buy something!"
But first it's Hello to Father Christmas at 4pm today!

 

 

Have a lovely weekend everyone.

Argh.... it's lost.

My e-mail account went mad the other day.... Think some virus had got the better of it, not that I know for sure. Technical things are not my strong side!
Panic was my first reaction. Silly really, it's not the end of the world and certainly wasn't harming anyone. Never the less, panic was my initial reaction. The thing is, I have had the same e-mail address for more than 12 years, so I felt strangely attached to it and was not quite ready to give it up... Weird? Well I did, after a lot of thought, give up and got myself a new e-mail address! I tried a few times to recover my lost e-mail account. Didn't work until now. Suddenly, after I have gotten myself a new e-mail address, the old one is recovered and working again. What to do now....? Stick with the new one or take old one back? No, I will stick with my new e-mail address, it was time for a change and this was meant to be! Sorry old e-mail, you had your time! Thanks for everything!
Am I the only one being strangely attached to things like an e-mail address? I'm even more attached to my mobile and don't get me started on, whether to change my phone number when I rarely change my mobile!

Music Monday.

Here's a song I haven't heard for a while. Actually, it's a Danish song by Lis Sørensen called "Brændt" (Burned) which Natalie Imbruglia sang an English version of. Yesterday my soulmate and his good friend were playing it on the guitar and I was singing along very loudly. Did I ruin the song...? Does it matter...? I had completely forgotten about it until yesterday, now I can't stop listening to it. Torn is my song for Music Monday. Enjoy!
