WTF?

This week, I decided with the boys, is a WTF kind of week. You know, the kind of week where odd things are happening, no logic exists and you are in a constant state of walking around with one eyebrow raised. The kind of week where you need to say "WTF"? Except that, for the boys, the F stands for football.... OF COURSE, it does ;)

Sporting their best "What the Football?" kind of look ;)

Yes, the Oscar is so white

This is our cat, Oscar. The boys found it very funny that he would make it to the news. On the radio, they heard that the Oscars were so white. The only thing that they found strange is that we only have one Oscar ;)

Have a good evening xox

Birthday party for boys....

Andreas and I had tickets for a fabulous fundraising gala on Saturday night. This party has the best food.... ever. It also has the best silent auction items.... ever.... which is not as good as the food and absolutely terrible for the wallet ;) Since last year, I had a potential dress picked out for the event. Andreas was making a game plan to get the best food fast. We then realized that we had a little problem.... I had booked Nicklas' already postponed birthday party for exactly the same night.... argh! So, last night, we skipped the caviar, awesome wine and delicious food and had homemade cupcakes, apple juice and delivery pizza in its place ;) We traded in 1200 plus fancy guests for 12 boys (who, guaranteed, made lots more noise) and we wouldn't have had it any other way :)

It was a great party... and I got to wear comfortable shoes ;) AND I am sure that we had better loot bags ;)

Wishing you all a great week xox

Little things

Some days, it is just the little things that bring happiness to the day. This morning, I didn't have to stress out too much to get the kids out the door (who am I kidding? Yes, I did stress out... just not as much as some other days). I didn't need a hat... or gloves ;) I stopped at my favourite coffee shop for a latte to enjoy on my walk to work. The sun was shining. It is closer to 0C than -100C. I don't have teaching today... just catching up. I love the pants that I am wearing today (yes, a good clothes day). Last but not least, the radio station that I usually listen to at work is playing a lot of my favourite music. It is a good day. Wishing you all the same xox

The snow mounds are not TOO large..

Pretty clear sidewalk. Hey, that is important ;)

Lovely sun!

Nicka and his book report

I was absolutely forbidden to post this picture before today... in case any of Nicka's classmates saw the picture. That, mamma, would ruin my secret, surprise costume for my book report presentation. Why, of course! So, after the successful presentation this afternoon, I can now post this picture of Nicka, acting out his favourite book character. Can you guess who? ;)

xox to you all!!

Happy Valentine's Day

I always love getting homemade cards from the kids. They capture the essence of each special occasion better than any commercial card can do. This year, we got a lovely card from Nicka. He says it best so I will leave you all with his words.....

Happy Valentimes to you all ;)

Freezing

It is freezing outside today. Not just a little cold, not just a lot cold but absolutely freezing. I think that we are pretty close to North Pole kind of cold and I am not exaggerating.... I am SO glad that it is the weekend and we can stay indoors :P

I will not say anymore ;) Hope you are all having a good weekend so far. If you are living in a place that has some extra nice, warm weather that you don't need, please send it to us. It would be GREATLY appreciated xox
