weekend

What did I do this weekend? Friday just after work I hurried out and picked up the tuxido we were renting for this fancy party at my sons school. And I think he looks absolutely dashing, don't you? Just seeing him without the sneakers in regular mens shoes, is amazing... he sure is growing up on me... can't stay serious for too long...

when do I get any attention??

my daughter had her spring gymnastic show off... I sit and watch for hours,all the energetic and happy young people, and I get all emotional...

don't I look sort of scary...

we were cleaning up the fish pond in our back yard, and Bundy was more than willing to help... got a bit wet though...

we were so happy all the fish had survived the winter

fortunately no fish in this bucket...




Happy BIG easter egg...

teenage son

what can you say...

I live it..

and I love it :o)

birthday with sushi

so it was my birthday the other day, and I got to decide what to have for dinner - and I decided to go with the highest current trend, and we got sushi, from the sushi take away in the city. I just ignored my husbands comment: " can you get it as a menu with coke and fries??" It was friday evening, and the place was - to my secret surprise - packed, and people kept coming in... and apparently they all knew exactly what kind and how many etc. they wanted. well now, after consulting the lady at the desk,what and how many to get for 3 adults ( the 16 year old is way past eating a kids menu...) and 1 child, we got 3 x boxes with 14 pcs ( 6 nigiris and 8 makis...) and also 3 x 8 hosomakis with tuna, spicy shrimp and avocado because " they don taste too much like fish" hello??! I sort of thought that was the idea of sushi! well anyway, it was nice, really nice ( except for the one time I accidentally took too much of that green stuff - looked like guacamole, but nooooo it was wasabi, and veeery hot....) - and we all agreed we could do it again sometime.

The quantity was OK - with 5-6pcs left when all of our bellies were full - to Bundy's joy...

ah, well here are some pics of the gorgeous one:

"WTF! where did that #¤%& cat go??"

a friend over for visit - he's a 7 year old guy, and somehow really not very interested in Bundy's puppy behaviour... This is actually a very rare moment when they both are lying down. Most of the time Bundy is chasing his pal, trying to bite his ears, his knees etc etc... just for fun, off course!!

the first kiss

true love... :o)

trolls

These are some of my trolls - I just love trolls. Especially the nice norwegian ones...

Bundy, my bundle of joy, is actually too a bit of a troll these days... He is 5 months old, and is really testing how far he can go before getting yelled at... but frankly, getting yelled is also quite funny in his world... so we also try to ignore him when he is " conducting a non desired behaviour".. well, it' s like with raising kids, using a mix of all kind of theories hoping some of them will work... so I get him toys - this newest one - a ball at the end of a rope - is pretty popular. So we amuse ourselves.. and struggle a bit whenever there are certain differences of opinions... and then at the end of the day when he sleeps in his bed ( we are so glad he likes it and wants to use it...) we look at him, and awwwrr - he is so cute and we love him, and things will definitely get easier when he grows up .. right? RIGHT??!
