Better late than never ;)

After this past weekend, only Nicklas' football team is still at practice. Alexander's team lost in the playoffs so their season is now over. Am I sad about it? For him, yes. Absolutely. For me... maybe I am a little less sad ;) We are now down to 3 practices a week instead of 5... and able to actually do some stuff at home again ;) Things like decorating for Hallowe'en, which Oliver has been reminding us of every day SINCE SUMMER!!! Seriously!
So, this evening, Oliver and I went out to decorate... Here is our effort... now we are back inside, eating the chocolates that we were supposed to give out ;)





Boo!

It is back!!!!

Elon Musk is forgiven... Fortnite is back and now on version 2. Oliver is even reconsidering his Tesla boycott ;)

Harmony is restored in his universe... Andreas and I, on the other hand, are secretly wishing that Elon Musk had actually pulled the plug ;) Now we are thanking our ability to shut off the internet at home ;)

Happy Wednesday xox

PS: It turns out that Elon Musk never had anything to do with the black hole of Fortnite... for the record... and not to propagate fake news ;)

Stupid Elon Musk!

Oliver is mad at Elon Musk... I mean really mad. Randomly (but often), the words "Stupid Elon Musk!" come out of his mouth. Oliver claims he hates him... really hates him. Why? you might ask... well, apparently (or as rumour has it), he bought Fortnite with the sole purpose of deleting the game. So, this morning, Fortnite is seemingly no more. At first, I had no idea what he was ranting about so I had to check this out for myself (you can too in this Guardian article). Where Fortnite used to be is now a big black hole... with some bizarre and cryptic numbers... and no more...

So my youngest is now detoxing... it is rough but he is managing ;) I am sure that, however, is no longer wanting to buy a Tesla when he grows up ;) On the other hand, Andreas and I are thinking it is totally worth going into debt to support Mr. Musk ;)

Happy week to you all! xox



Stupid Elon Musk!!!

Happy (Canadian) Thanksgiving!

I took a few moments today to think about all the things that I am thankful for and felt blessed because of all what came to mind. To add icing on the cake, the sun was warm and leaves were beautiful... Can't ask for more...

May you all have a long list of things that you are thankful for xox


How Canadian ;) I bet this goose is happy that he is not a turkey ;)

Postcards from Montreal... the frazzled fall edition ;)

... and, suddenly, it has been just about a month since I touched this blog! My bad! ;)

The boys have been very busy at football still... seriously, every night of the week, either Nicklas or Alexander is at football (or both). Luckily, Oliver is now done so that is one less kid to rush out the door ;) I wonder who the heck thought it was a good idea to have them play football... oh yeah... that was the very parents who have now become full time chauffeurs because of it ;) Anyway, the boys love it and soon enough it will be over until February. Maybe I can reclaim a bit of my sanity before then? Nah- who I am kidding? ;) That will never happen ;)

It is Canadian Thanksgiving on Sunday and I am so happy to get a long weekend. It will still be busy but we will get an extra day to be busy in ;) Hopefully the sun will stay out and we can have a few good days of autumn weather. I really love this time of year... more so when I pretend that winter is not coming up next ;)

If you still drop by here, thank you! I appreciate it and I will really try to do better... I hope that a few postcards from Montreal can make up for it xox
