let it snow!

Down it came - all white - and lots of it!! Traffic was chaos - but in the backyard it was all fun!

View from the living room - our patio. The garden chair is all set up for the cat...

Birds enjoying some frozen apples..

.... and then it was time for some relaxing by the fire :o)

concert

Tonight is the night!

I am going all the way to Copenhagen and - hopefully - have a blast, and see Backstreet Boys live on stage!!

My son and I are going - the tickets have been pinned to the fridge door for months- and tonight it is!

uh, the butterflies in my stomach are bouncing about....:o)

.. and if you think, OK, this girl probably doesn't get out a lot, I guess you're right...

... that's the way prefer it actually...

but tonight I am ready for some Backstreet's back and their This is Us show

juhuuu!

Who is your true friend?

Try this:

Put your man and your dog into the trunk of the car - leave them there for an hour.

When you open - who do you think is really happy to see you??

team work...

hip hip hooray

It was my mans birthday the other day... we couldn't fit enough candles on the cake...

It doesn't matter as long as you are adored by everyone!

Look at the son - he's got red eyes. Hm.. Edward Cullen wannabe...? they are both 17 anyway...

baby and teenager

before we got him home... his sister Molly in the background

big boy now..
hates closed doors...

a good one...

A girl asks her boyfriend to come over Friday night and have dinner with her parents. Since this is such a big event, the girl tells him that after dinner, she would like to have sex with him for the first time.
The boy is ecstatic, but he has never had sex before, so he takes a trip to the pharmacy to get some condoms. The pharmacist helps the boy for about half an hour. He tells the boy everything there is to know about condoms and sex. At the register, the pharmacist asks the boy how many condoms he'd like to buy a 3-pack, 10-pack or family pack. The boy insists on the family pack because he thinks he will be rather busy, it being his first time and all.
That night, the boy shows up at the girls parents house and meets his girlfriend at the door. "Oh, I'm so excited for you to meet my parents! Come on in!"The boy goes inside and is taken to the dinner table where the girl's parents are seated.
The boy quickly offers to say grace and bows his head. A minute passes, and the boy is still deep in prayer, with his head down 10 minutes pass, and still no movement from the boy. Finally, after 20 minutes with his head down, the girlfriend leans over and whispers to the boyfriend, "I had no idea you were this religious.
"The boy turns, and whispers back, "I had no idea your father was a pharmacist!"

Garfield fun

So funny... :o))

I love Garfield

Sunday afternoon

I started off by doing some reading...Mom mentioned this trilogy was very good... and it was... She's always right that gal...:o) Then off to the dog forest meeting the guys.

My homie Enzo - he sure can smile when there is a biscuit in sight !

What 'ya diggin for Enzo, hu hu, what 'ya diggin for??

what? What ? The suspense is killing me here!OK, you just take care of whatever there is to dig for, I'll just .... hang out over here... puh..

Yo Bundy, you still there??

For the first time I meet a German Shepard who doesn't hate me at the very first sight...
This guy was a 5 year old male, so he wasn't too keen on running crazy in the woods...

At home again, really thirsty, and the best water you get is from the bidet in the master bathroom... Mom says it is a very bad habit...


whatever...

cartoon time

teenage boys are adorable:

this one is for Kasha and her Africa :o)
click on the cartoons to enlarge them :o)

Bundy the Wrecking machine

what? zzzz... can't talk now, sleepin... ..and I tried to get out when things got a bit wild around here....

wanted to relax and watch tv, but somehow the remote wouldn't work...

and these 2 small poufs - well some white buttons were already missing, and I just have no idea how THIS happened!!

and I have seen mom shake this doormat, and, well, just wanted to help.... wow one tiny litle doormat can sure transfer into many little pieces...

.. as long as I can't see you, you can't see me... right??

tired after one hard days work home all alone...

let's just say that some days Bundy is more popular than other days.... this was no P day....

they say his kind is grownup at around the age of 3... umph, well, 1 down, 2 more to go...

17 year old

My son Tobias has his 17th birthday today - where did all the years go??
He is a great guy -you can actually see that beyond all the teenage grumpiness and distractiveness..

helping out around the house..

spending time with his little sister... and "brother"....

For his birthday dinner we went to "Tortilla Flats" - and he had Chimichanga with chile and guacamole.. His favourite kind of food. He overate... so we have postponed the birthday cake for the weekend when the family is coming over.

In one year he is an official grown up... oh my...

Bundy with dirt on the nose.... also "helping out"...:o)

holiday

had one week of holiday - the official autumn holiday week 42 in DK all schools are closed. So the whole family have had no busy schedule of school, work or whatever... no annoying wake up alarm clock early in the morning... wonderful. Last year in week 42 we went to Mallorca, Spain. This year we stayed home... to work... Hard, physical, labour... phew... not a good thing for soft computer hands and bodies with with non-existing hard muscles... we've been wrecking,dragging, hammering, throwing, dragging some more, lifting, holding... in the end - eventually - we will have a new 15 square meters shack in the back yard made of the material from the open garage we had in front of the house. Very good for the climate -recycling... ( we constantly pat eachothers shoulders...) We plan also to make the front of the house more up to date, AND make our entrance hallway nice, and, and,and.... my husband has sooo many plans, and I get all exhausted by just thinking of it... Hm. My kind of holiday is more like sleeping real late, long breakfast with lots of coffee and studying of morning papers, walks in the forest admiring the wonderful autumn colours , planning nice dinners with tasty gravy, reading books, watching TV, baking buns and cakes.... ah well... maybe next year...



Bundy the Bundle of Joy thinks it's good we're all leaving the house again during the day tomorrow, it has been quite exhausting having to entertain all day with no time for those long naps; morning, noon and afternoon...

had him weighed the other day: KG 55.6 ( 122 pounds)

age: 1 year

I guess there is a good chance we'll hit 60 as grown up bundle of joy...

cartoon

I love little cartoons - they often underlines stuff, in a cute way. And "Dog eats Doug" does that a lot, from a life with dogs and kids perspective..

dog forest

So, for the first time we took Bundy to one of the so called dog forests - closed areas where it is allowed for dogs to run around unleashed... We have been a bit reluctant until now, Bundy being such a big and happy guy, and not always coming back when we call him... But now we -a bit impulsively - decided to give it a try... And what a treat!! We instantly met Enzo, a gorgeous Cane Corso, same age and size as Bundy, and they had a blast!! They were also the only dogs in the forest, we noticed with surprise... off they went!!!

getting really dirty ( and stinky) after a nice mudbath...

they could almost have been twins.. It's Bundy on the right :o)

A Cane Corso is originally an Italian breed, and so Enzo is named after Enzo Ferrari :o)

taking a pause...

.... and a nice nap when we got home... after being shampooed and showered before allowed enering the house...

great times... and we got their number, so we will hopefuly meet again soon!!
