Halloween.

The little man had a friend here last night for a Halloween sleepover. The princess was a friend's house for a sleepover so it was just the 2 boys who went Trick and Treating.
They came back with their bags filed completely up and could hardly eat the ghost cookie the daddy and pricess had made.

Have you had a wicked Halloween?

Book 22 and 28 to go!

Just finished this book. It was billiant and a very easy read. It reminded me about when I had just had the princess and we spent our days going to different playgroups etc. I was never a yummy mummy but I met a few around the playgroups in Crouch End.
This was my book no. 2 this year. I agreed to do the #50booksin2015 but I don't think I'll get there in time. Looks more like I'll get to #25booksin2015.
My borther in law and his lovely wife are coming to visit from England tomorrow and staying for a few days. They're bringing some books for me. Yeah!!

Do you read? Can you recommend me any books?

Relaxing with a cup of tea.

Yesterday it was back to school so no time for tv and a nice cup of tea in the morning. The picture is from Wednesday morning last week when it was half term.
Both the princess and the little man were looking forward to going back to school though. They both love school and had missed their friends. Also they the princess was off to see the musical Chicago with her dancegroup last night. It's one of the teachers from the dance/drama/sing company where she dances that was directing the musical. All the kids got to go backstage and then see the dress rehearsel afterwards. She was home late for a school night but it very rarely happens so we agreed it was okay. She's promised to not be moody this morning and she did keep her promise. She's up, dressed and eating her cereal.

Oooh, I finished my 22nd book this year. I'll make that a post for tomorrow or Thursday. It's a good book.

Have you had a good weekend?

Oops, I did it again.

Forgot to blog. Sorry, I know you missed me a lot and I will try and be better in then future. This week it has been half term in Denmark. We've enjoyed the time off trying not to do too much. The daddy had Monday and Tuesday off too and we all had some lovely days relaxing.
Now half term is nearly over and Monday it's back to school. Today we went Halloween shopping just the kids and I. The little man also bought himself a game for the X-Box. He had saved up and handed over a lot of coins to the lady behind the counter. It took a while to for her to count but it was all there.

I will try and be better to write here so don't give up me just yet.

Books.

I read a lot of books. I used to read a lot then I had children and I tried to still read but fell asleep more often than not trying. Now the princess and little man are bigger I have more energi to read again. Often at weekend mornings where we relaxe. I just finished this one and really really enjoyed it. I read One Day which David Nicholls also wrote a while back but I think this book is even better.

Have you read it??

Birthdays with only a month apart.

(år means year)
We won this lovely Birthday cake from our local bakery. My sister and mum had entered the princess and little man in a compatition in the local paper. We were able to pick it up the day the little man had his Birthday party. How lucky is that!
The cake was meant for both children as their Birthdays are only a month apart. The little man got to blow out the candles though. His big sister is way to cool for doing that now she's 10 apparently.
The cake is normal sponge cake with melted brown sugar on top as well as marcipan, icing and lots of sweets. It's a very traditional Danish Birthday cake but Nana and Papa who was over from England loved it too. Nana got the recipe of the internet so she can attempt to bake one back in England. We will look forward to that next time we visit.

Have a lovely Sunday.
