Not long now.....

We have now entered the 3rd week of the school holiday and we are still enjoying just being at home and relaxing. The children have had a few playdates and spent a lot of time making these. They look on the internet for ideas.

Tomorrow the little man is off to Legoland with a friend and his family. The princess is off to her friends summerhouse to play for the day.
We are then celebrating the princess' birthday (a bit early as she wont be 10 until Monday) with the Danish side of the family tomorrow night.
Because Friday we're off to England on holiday YEAH!! My mum are staying in our house to look after Muffin the cat and to watch all the tv channels we have and she doesn't. Don't tell her I said that.....
We can't wait to go on holiday and this year we're visiting Nottingham and Newcastle both places we have never been before. First though we're spending 1½ week at Nana and Papa's.

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....

Summer is here and holiday - what's not to like!

Holiday - lazy mornings - sleepovers and dinner outside. Well, we've nearly finished the first week of holiday and the weather has been amazing. So the little tiny pool has been set up and we eat outside nearly every night. The children and I relaxe and have icecreams before lunch some days (don't tell the daddy) and they have a little swim in our tiny little blow-up pool. I watch Wimbledon and prepare dinner. Yesterday it was spicy chicken and roasted veggies. Yummy!
In 2 weeks time the daddy starts his holiday and we're off to England. We're all very excited.

Midsummer.

 
Yesterday was midsummer and here in Denmark it's celebrated with bon fires everywhere. We even put a witch at the top to burn. No, of course not a real one! But I do agree it's weird.... Anywho, we went with the children to the nearest beach to watch. It was lovely.
Friday the children's summer holiday starts. 6 weeks where I don't have to set the alarm for 05.55am. Love it.

Oh forgot to show our 2 new garden gnomes. Aren't they cute??

Books! 2 finished in 2 weeks.

Maybe a bit more than 2 weeks but not much. This was the first one and if you don't have anything to read in the summer holiday, I can recommend this. It's really good and easy to read. It has all the elements in it that I needed to enjoy it.

This was the 2nd book and that I read it in 3 days. To be fair I've read it before 15 years ago but I didn't remember everything. It is such a good book and a must read I think. If you love to read that is.
It's a 15 year boy autistic boy telling the story. I enjoyed even more this time around and I do think I might read again at some point.

I am now starting Gone Girl and after that Me Before You is waiting on my bookshelf. I would love it if you could recommend some books.

What books do you read??

He won a Trophy!

And so proud he is, the daddy. He went go karting with his work on Saturday and came home with this ugly thing. He straight away put it next to the TV thinking that's where it's gonna live..... Well, he's wrong. It's not even a 1st place trophy but a 2nd place one so no no. Won't stay in the living room for good. Not to make him too upset I will wait a couple of weeks before I move it. I'm thinking on his desk behind-ish the printer will be a good place, don't you think??

Just look at it - It's not really 'next-to-the-TV-materiale' right?!
