Happy birthday sis (2 days ago)

My sister turned 41, saturday. 

I made her this scarf, it is not perfect, but she loved it, so who cares?

Hello big boy

Soon

In an hour or so, it's my babys birthday (hope he is not waking up for the next seven og eight hours though). Can't wait to give him his presents - a new bike and some playmobile. The closest family is coming over for brunch. It's going to be happy day i'm sure

Allmost five year old pictures :-)

Birthdays, owls and deers

Friday we celebrated both mine and Benjamins birthday (mine for the second time). It was a nice evening, great gifts, happy children, a walk to the playground, good food and cake. One of my best friends made me a pretty scarf, and even gave me a shirt to match. I also got at vase i've been wanting for a long time now. It is made by Susan Liebe, for some reason i did'nt take a picture of it, I will soon.

The scarf

Benjamin got a golf set and Lego

and maybe a girlfriend...

Last week i bought these pretty birds, they are from House Doctor. The are made to hold a candle on the top of there heads, but I'm not sure about that.

I also got these from a fleamarket, they were only 50kr (about 9$). The man asked if my husband is a hunter...

Can't wait for these to turn red and sweet.

Saturday is Benjamins actual birthday, and that is going to be the last party at our house this month. I'm not sure when I'm going to find the time to prepare for it. Thing are pretty hectic at work this last week before the school is out.

B day

Today is my birthday. I'm 32. We celebrated last saturday, and i can't even show you any pictures, they were all shot whit my new Diana mini, and the roll of film i loaded it with seems to go on forever, but i guess that's the point of the mini format. The weather was great, and we had a very small garden party, with just my parents, my sister + her family, and my mother-in-law. We made the best pizza on the grill and i made a great bithday cake. Hope to have pictures soon.

What have I been up to?

On the 20th Nick and Maria got married - and I shot their wedding photos. You can't tell by looking at the picture but she is 8 months pregnant.

The 21st was Benjamins last day at gymnastics - and all the parents was invited to come and watch all the different teams. Before we went, Benjamin asked me in relief, if doing this final show meant that he never had to go back...two days later he told us that when he grows up he wants to live in a cabin in the woods..all alone. I wish i knew how to get him to be more social...

On the 23rd this little girl turned 14 (picture is from 2004)

She is my god daughter  - and is all ready turning into a little woman.

We painted eggs a couple of days ago. I ended up sitting on the kitchen flor alone, since Benjamins interest quickly went away. The funny looking poodle is actually a lamb. (if you were wondering about the clothes he is wearing, which he has obviously out grown - it is just for painting in!)

...Benjamin rather wanted to play in his room, which his father and I had spent several hours tidying.

Seven years ago we spent about a year doing this

And know we are actually dreaming about buying this house, which means doing it again in two and a half the amount of space

Today Benjamin got his Easter egg, the chocolate hare is from his grandmother.

Last but not least - take a look at this great giveaway over at sunshine and carousels

Hope you have a happy Easter

Just a little scrap

Some new LO. No doubt about it, Cosmo Cricket and Sassafras Lass is my favorites. See more of my LO here.

The baby is me!

Benjamin is playing "camp".

That's me again.

Me once again - turning 31 this summer

My "baby" is four

Benjamin turned 4, at the end of last month, we had a great day in the garden with a lot of great food and a lot of chocolate(-pirate-)cake.

"maybe it is a little bit dangerous?"

The closest thing to a smile

The cake - Ahoy Matey

A post from the birthday boy (if he could write):

Turning four changes a lot, it definitely makes you feel a lot bigger. You only wants to take showers, sitting down in the tub is for babys. You will no longer have the use for a smaller fork og spoon, the grown up kind is much better, even if you spill a little. If you feet is in the way, it is because the have grown over night. You will say, to you grandmother, something (that will probably come back and bite you later on) like that you will never misbehave again, because big boys don't do that.

You WILL remember that your mother told you 6 month ago that you had to be four to play at IKEAs "Småland" (supervised playground - while parents are shopping) and you WILL know that she is lying when she now tells you that you have to be five, and therefor you WILL make the rest of the trip through IKEA a living hell for your parents.

But you won't be to big a boy to tell your mommy that you love her almost everyday and you will always know that she loves you too!

We put up wallpaper on one of Benjamins walls today, it looks really cute, no photos yet, coming soon.

This picture (from his birthday) is a good before-shot, please don't notice all the mess, the room is actually not much bigger than what you see, the picture is shot from the door, so a little toys look like a lot. I have been trying to convince him to put away the big Pooh and Tigger, but he is not liking the idea.

This is the wallpaper we put up.

...now we just have to get rid of the Mickey lamp... (I think he is ok with that...)

My birthday came and went...

I'm 31! My birthday was yesterday. Saturday we had some family over for coffee and cupcakes (and appelpie and rhubarbpie also) - It was my first try decorating cupcakes like this, I think they turned out really sweet (tasted sweet too). I bought the roses here.
