No more baby bottles :D

Last night I finally did it! …I threw away Vetle’s baby bottles! For a long time he has started to drink of cups with drinking lid on. He did only use his bottles right before bedtime. For the moment he did not show that much interest in his bottles..so I thought it was a perfect time to get rid of them!
LOL..I guess we will see tonight if he will notice they are gone or not :-p

Last week was a busy week. My stepdaughter turned 19 on August 6th. And it was also my and hubby’s 8th anniversary when we got together. Wow..time really flies by!
So on Tuesday I did bake Gunn Kristin favorite cake. My famous (LOL) chocolate cake with wipped chocolate cream. And on Wednesday we had a lil party with my FIL with his wife and my oldest daughter. Vetle had a great time with lots of cookies and cake. LOL..we all had a great time.

This is not going to be such a busy week. But next week the vacation will be over and the kids will be back in school. I really cross my fingers that my stepson and stepdaughter do get a place in school! But we just have to keep the hopes up..and we will know during this week.

So this week I have plans to work more on my forum for my graphic members. Also maybe get some drawing done.  I have sketches for more lines and base :-D I will also work a little on a update for my memberarea. Since I know when I am going back to school on the 25th my computer time will be more limited.

Also this month will be a new time for Vetle if he starts in kindergarden. So many exciting things for all of us this month! :-D




Fun at the beach


Fun at the beach

Originally uploaded by ZarBella

We have had another hot and sunny summer day. So after dinner today we decided to take a trip to the beach. The kids really loved that idea..LOL.

This was Vetle’s first visit on the beach…and he loved it! He did run straight to the water..and was soaking wet in a second…LOL. Both me and hubby had a hard time trying to keep up with him. But he did not like when the big waves came in..he got wet all over.

After running in the waves it was time to play in the sand. O’boy..that was even more fun. Wet sand and little boys are something that’s goes together. Not so fun for mom and dad that had to try to clean him up before we started on our way home.

So I can truly say we had a great trip to the beach. Loved it both me, hubby and the kids ;)




Insomnia….

..right now that song just keep buzzing through my head. I do love that song with Faithless..have long been one of my favorites.
They keep on singing…”I can’t get no sleep…..” …and I keep on staying awake :-s

My Insomnia is just only for this night…or at least I hope so! It’s my flu and the hot weather that keeps me sleepless. Yesterday and today has really been some hot days! And we have started to paint our house on the outside. But it is not fun when the sun really burns and all we really want is to run into the shadow..sit down and enjoy a real big and cold glass of icetea!!

The clock is almost 5pm..so I think I will have a smoke and then try to see if I can at least get a couple of hour of sleep. Before my sunshine lil boy wakes up and are ready for a new day full of fun, laughter and joy…..with a sleepy mommy after him trying to keep up!..LOL.




I hate to be sick…

It is almost 4:30 am and I have still got no sleep…so I am tiiiiired :-s

On Monday it is 2 weeks since we came home from our vacation. And almost 2 weeks the whole family has been sick. Vetle got sick the last day on vacation, so we drove home a day earlier than planned. The first five days home he was really in a bad condition. And then my youngest daughter, Anitra got sick. Same thing as Vetle..high fiver and not feeling good at all. 1 day later it was my turn..then hubby and my stepson. Those have had it most easy with the bug.

But now I really want to get back on my feet and start doing things again!! It is driving me nuts to not be able to to anything at. And when I try to do something I am so weak that it feels like I have run marathon after I have done it :-s

There are some good news though. On Thursday my stepdaughter also moved in with us. Hubby drove up and helped her get all her stuff down her. So now we really need to get all those rooms ready so both my stepson and stepdaughter can get it all unpack and they can settle down ;-)

Hubby is back to work again on Monday, so I really hope I feel better till then.

Right now I am so tired………..so…………….I think I will try to get back to bed and see if I get some sleep since Vetle finally did fall asleep.

Good night!




A taste of Rainbow

- 5 drops of morning rain
- 5 parts of happy sunshine
- 1 part faery dust
- 5 parts of the morning rainbow
- And a sent of love dust
Mix all the ingredients with faery laughter, hapiness and love.

Monday we got home from our great vacation. Both me, hubby and the kids had a great week. But I finally got some time to flutter around on my favorite place for the moment. The TMC forum. Found this great challenge and I just had to try it out! :-D




Lazy - sunny - summerdays :-D

I just love the summer!!! …BTW..who doesn’t?

We are still on vacation, and I finally got some minutes on the laptop. But the connection is really bad..so I am not sure if I will be able to post this at all. :-p

But we are having a great time. Just enjoying the real great weather and each other. Biking on the evening, laying on the beach daytime. ;-)

Not sure when we will be back home..but latest on Wednesday..since hubby has to work Thursday and Friday next week :-s And we also have to start painting the house and fix up the bedrooms for my hubbys kids. So lots of work are waiting for us back home. :-D

Now I am off in the sun..we are going to barbeque to my sister in law. They are living on the same camp as us ;-)




Look at my new haircut!


Look at me

Yesterday Vetle had a visit to the hairdresser. It was time to loose some hair ;-D

When the girls was younger I did always cut their hair myself. But that was so much easier since they had long hair. With Vetle I do not want to do it myself. LOL..that is to difficult with a 1 year old boy who does not like to sit still longer than 1 minute at time.

This was not Vetle’s first trip to the hairdresser - it was his 4th..LOL.
My hairdresser is really good with children..and with real young kids who is not that interested in getting their hair cut.
So with lots of patient she manage to cut his hair. And now he looks great.
And I think he like it..because he has a big grin on his face the whole day long and have stopped many times in front of the mirror. :-D




Biking and Baking


New bike carriage

Yesterday we bought a brand new bike carriage for Vetle. And hubby also bought new bikes for us ;-D I really love to take a bicycle ride - but have not done it in the last couple of years because my old bike was so ruin. :-D

So today hubby did pick up our new bikes after work. And the weather was sunny, but a little windy, so we decided we wanted to try out our new bikes and Vetle’s new bike carriage. LOL..at first I was a little rusty with the cyckling. But you know what they say..have you first learned it you never forget. So after a few meteres I kinda felt I was in control. Vetle had a great time in his carriage behind daddy’s bike. ;-) So we did stop by my father in law who lives 2 kilometeres from us. Just the right distance for a first ride after many years..LOL

Finally back home we were tired and happy. I hope we get more great weather for long bike rides. ;-)

Also got time for some baking today! Wow..I have been good..LOL :-p It is not ofte I do bake because of my back pain. But now and then I just really can resist. With great help from Anitra, my youngest daughter, we did lots of baking today. I will not try to tell you what we made or explain it..because my English is not that good :-D




Vetle and the tractor

But he has to grow a little more to be able to move it around himself..LOL. His feet is to short. But he loves to just puch it around and make those funny car noises “brooom broooom”




Testing..testing..she said..

Ok….I am working and working to see if I can get my new blog to work…  :-)
