Finished, Over, All Done, Finito!

Christmas holiday that is..... 2 weeks gone in what feels more like 2 days. It's been busy but really lovely and when busy it's not really holiday is it? No, it has felt like holiday. The princess and little man have kindly slept an hour longer most mornings but we stayed up longer so didn't really feel it.
To be honest, we're all looking forward to getting back to nursery, school, work and to go to bed at a reasonable hour! That's okay to feel like that, isn't it? The little man and princess are missing their friends. Playdate already set up for the little man for Thursday. The daddy misses his tools - worried they won't be in the right place, and I'm missing my regular training and psysio to keep the MS at bay. 
Last night packed lunches were made, bags were packed and clothes were neatly laid out all ready for today's early start. Always nice when holiday ends midweek, makes it a soft start with only 3 days then it's weekend.

Week 1 of 2012 has begun. I got a new calender with shiny white pages, only a few things written down on them (yet). I'm sure that'll change soon!

First it was the flip flops then it was the slippers!

In the summer it was the little man's new flip flops he had to sleep with http://oddparent.blogspot.com/2011/07/flip-flop-happiness.html - now it's his new slippers! Not the best picture but I didn't want to wake him. When he went to bed he had bare feet, when I checked on him a couple of hours later, he was wearing his new slippers!

Silly hats it has to be....

.... in Denmark on New Years Eve! That we did then but I'll spare you for having to look at the daddy and I so pictures are only of the princess and little man.

The princess did not do hats she said. She needed these glasses as she felt they were more her.... Nor the little man or princess made it to midnight. To be honest, the daddy and I struggled to stay awake but just managed though. At 12 we shouted Happy New Year with mormor who spent new year's eve with us. Today we've been relaxing and we have the next 2 days off too which is nice. We brave it to Ikea tommorrow though. Good idea?? Well, I'll let you know!
It has been a busy Christmas. The daddy had to work, Nana and Papa came to stay for 3 days between Christmas and New Year. That was lovely and we had a great time. We went bowling which I wasn't sure if I could with unsteady legs and a stick but I could. I even did okay! I actually would have finished 3rd if there hadn't been a mix up with the points, I won't get into it though, it's done and dusted! 4th is okay too! (yeah right...) The princess and little man really loved it too and quickly got the hang of it with their daddy's help!

"That's pretty, can I have it?"

The princess asked when she saw my Christmas present from her aunty.

It's a lovely pen which goes very well with the lovely diary her aunty also gave me. The answer was "No". Not quite the answer she wanted. "Can I have it when you die then?" Not the question I expected my 6 year old to ask just yet but I guess we can make a note!
This will be the last blog in 2011. Thank you all for reading my blog and for your lovely comments.
I wish you all a very Happy New Year!

here we come.....!!

Hair cuts!

The little man has such cute golden brown curls, so no need to cut his hair too short is there...?

The other day he looked at his daddy and said "I want hair like you, daddy" I straight away got teary, couldn't breathe.... "NO" I wanted to scream. His dear daddy has very short hair and yes, it suits him but no way my little boy is having that!!! The daddy then thought he'd stir things a bit. "Just wait, you'll come home one day and it's all gone!" Well, that's not gonna happen..... Even if it results in me not allowing the little man any alone time with his daddy. I will not have his curls cut off! Why...? Because he looks so cute and if (okay when) he is a bit naugthy, other people will find it difficult not to think he is cute even when he has a tantrum in public! (yes it does happen...) Is that such bad parenting.....! Of course not, we all do it.

Thought we better get one of those done this Christmas. It actually came out okay I think.
Today it's the last day of the daddy's few days off, for now anyway! The princess, little man and I still have holiday and in 2 days time Nana and Papa arrive! Yeah!!
Sound of Music is on tv as it is every Christmas here in Denmark. I love it and am trying to get the princess and little man interested. They're not quite ready yet but come running when they hear the singing. They love the songs as do I and this is my favourite.

What films do you watch at Christmas time?
