May Break

The Kid is on a 2 week school break of which he is spending the first whole week with me. Work is insanely busy so in between spending quality time with The Kid I am working from home (lathered with an occasional run to the office) and my body is, in the mean time, exploding with muscle ache from helping a girlfriend move house this weekend. Gawd, there is not an inch of my body that isn’t hurting in some way. Dang! MASSAGE PLEASE!

Anyway: I’ve decided that this week I will take a blog time out, so that I can spend as much free time with The Kid. We are at home today, hiding out from the stinkin’ rain, snuggling up on the couch and he is making me watch “New Moon” on dvd this p.m. Tomorrow morning we have an orthodontist visit scheduled and then off to The Hague to see “Clash of the Titans” in the cinema. Thursday we’ll have an afternoon visit and dinner with one of my female bosses and her 3 sons. And Friday we hope that -weather permitting- we can pick up the Lill Niece for a nice day out with her. The rest of the week is still undecided.

Obviously I will be around on Facebook and Twitter and maybe commenting on blogs here and there. Over here I will be back on May 10 by the looks of it.

See you then!

Happy Birthday, Luca!

Remember THIS? Can you believe that it’s been a year since?

The Littler Niece is turning 1 year old today. The Kid and myself will be joining the family celebrating just that today, with a huge big fat bag filled with gifts. The Kid raided his bankaccount to buy some gifts for her himself, being the big cousin of course…

Have a great Sunday! I know we will!

Happy Birthday, Senna!

Remember this piece of heaven being born on October 9, 2007?

And how she turned 1 year old on October 9, 2008?

And how she became a Big Sis on April 25, 2009?

TODAY, the Pink Monster, a.k.a. the Lill Niece, is turning TWO years old!

I can hardly believe it! My Snuggly Puppy is TWO!

Happy Birthday, Girlie! We will be over tomorrow bearing gifts.

Kisssssss! and Nosy Nosy

Elk Lovin’ is Spesjul Lovin’

So The Mom recently went on a short vacation with one of her girlfriends and they, amongst other’s, visited Göteborg in Sweden. And The Mom wouldn’t be The Mom if she hadn’t brought a small souvenir for all of us.

The Lill Niece got quite a special treat in fact. A mug, with Sweden’s national animal on there: The Elk.

Only… the mug she got was… um… kinda “special”

Phoneconversation between The Sis and The Mom, recently:
The Sis: “Oh, by the way, thank you sooooooo much for that mug you brought for your granddaughter”
The Mom: “Did she like it? It was cute, wasn’t it?”
The Sis: “Well, umm… I am not sure cute is the right word for it”
The Mom: “Oh, what do you mean?”
The Sis: “Did you get a good look at the mug?”
The Mom: “Yes, there were 2 elks on there cuddling and in love”
The Sis: “Umm… yes and then some”
The Mom: “Huh? What?”

This was the mug that she had brought for the, soon to be 2 year old, Lill Niece, the front side:

Harmless enough, right? Yeah, well THIS is the other side of the mug:

Yeah, now we all know that young people grow up way faster these days than we used to. Then again, there is such a thing as pushing the issue…

A lot of “oooooooooh myyyy gooooooooodddd” ‘s came out of The Mom’s mouth when she was confronted with the mug on her next visit with The Sis… We’ll just keep this one locked up in the cupboard when the Lill Niece is ready for it, when she’s 35 or summin’.

And some people wonder where I get that nasty depraved mind from… Ha!
