Leopard...?

Me and mum took a little look in the second hand shop today.
Its so nostalgic and much fun to go there.

I found this cool "poshy" jacket there...
Should I buy it or not was the big question!

Do you think I bought it???


























We had a good laugh as it is SO NOT MY STYLE.


Anyway, we thought of ways to turn it into a disguise for the kids or a pillow....

But probably it would never be done...

So, I left the shop without it, and I dont regret!

today i feel tired and heavy...

not everyday is a day on pink clouds... i feel incredibly heavy and tired, and also lack
of air somehow... its like petit is squeezing my lungs to the
size of raisins and i have to breathe heavily. so i basically stay in the coach with my lovely
kids and we watch tom&jerry; their favorite after scoobydoo!
we've had some gløgg to heat on... its freakin cold now...
17 degrees in banyoles is what they can look forward too:) lucky
bastards!!

We found snow

Did I tell you we got a virus on the computer???
It sucks....

That means; no internet, no music, no phonecalls to Spain...
We are so depending on our computer.

Well, Salva and the boys are travelling to Spain on tuesday and will bring the computer to the doctor there.
Hopefully it will be healthy again;)

Today Salva, Marcus and me had a wonderful morning in the snow just outside Bergen.
We had so much fun skiing and sledging.
It was about 5 years ago since I had my fisherskis on my feet. It was a great feeling to air them again:)

Adria was home with my parents. He has been poor since monday... Fever, diarea, cough...
Poor little thing. I am sure the Spanish sun will help him recover. I still have to wait another twelve days to reach southern latitude.

Well, these days when I am on my own I will start knitting a Marius sweater for myself. Cant wait to start:)

sick...

we are home today, me and adria. he has high fever and generally low. he acted really weird during the night, shouting and spinning around in the bed complaining over footpain... some kind of fevercramps? i took him to the doctor and it seems to be a non bacterial infection, but his fever was measured to 40...
i always freak out at high fever.
so, we are here in the sofa watching t v and trying to recover. i am not used to see my super
healthy kids like this, but it makes them stronger to have an infecfion now and then...

Me and Adrià.


























Adrià and I had a little date today. I had a day off and he needed a new passport for our travel to Spain in the end of the month.
As in the "old days" we took a visit to the open kindergarden we used to visit so much a year ago. It s such a nice place and the staff is so lovely.
We had a great time learning new songs, eating well (A had 4 knekkebröd with macrell)
and socializing with new people.

Afterwards we had a cinnamonroll in "godt bröd"... those are so good.

I loved having some time alone with him... I wish we were better at doing that more often. I see how they fight between them to get our attention sometimes. It must have been a relief to have me totally by himself the whole day.

Thanks!

Morning everyone!

And thanks for all the nice greetings considering our babyboy:)

Its the day before our big party and I have been shopping pink dragwig for our model...! haha.
Of course I will keep it for myself later!

You ask me about how I feel? I feel great, better than ever:) My pregnancies have always been a nice experience for me, and especially the second trimester. Not too big, not too heavy, full of energy and positivness. I know that there will come heavier moments;)

The kids were happy about the news and Marcus wanted to study the photos closely. We talked about how the baby can live inside the belly, how it gets food and how it drinks and pees.
He found it funny:)

Still I have only received nice feedback on the fact that we are having another boy! But I assume some will tell me "oh, another boy...?!
I find it just great that they will be three of the same sex. They will share so much between them. And petit will inherit toys and clothes from the older brothers. What a saving as well;)

Hope you are having a nice thursday!

I am waiting for my charityburger in Cafe Magdalena. A place run by Kirkens Bymisjon. Nice atmosphere and sweet people working here. A good place to support.

Ultrasound news!!





So, finally! Today was time for our first (and last I guess) ultrasound!!
We both had a dream last night that we would have a girl.
I can only say that our dreams didnt come true...
We are having our third BOY!!!!!!

Holy.... This can be a lot of fun:)
I imagine the three of them best friends:)
He was so cute and Perfect!! I had a tear in my eye all the time, smiling from ear to ear.
Life is fantastic.

I thought he could just come out already, he looked so ready. And he gave us a little show as well, kicking like crazy.

Marcus was really happy to hear that it was a boy. Those were his last words yesterday as he went to bed: "I hope its a boy".

Well, I am so pleased to know that everything is fine with little raisin.

Now, I can go on planning this weekends party with 150 kollegues, where I am one of four partyplanners;)
There will be a fashionshow with transformed laboratoryclothes... interersting:)
Our man will be dressed as a transvestite, haha!

Lovely xmas!







After many days of lovely xmas food we felt the need of giving our bodies some nice fish again.
Cod in spanish salsa turned out really tasty.
Tomatoes, baked red pepper on a can, lemonjuice, cod, fresh basil and almond potatos in sweet harmony.

We have celebrated the best xmas of our times. Its been some days to remember!
We are working these days but our little carrot is a trip to Spain in only a months time:)

The last xmas workshop



I so wish I had a day off tomorrow to fix the last things...
But I dont, so it will be as it will be. Good enough.

We had the last xmas workshop yesterday... The kids made decoration and it turned out really great. I always keep some saltydough in the fridge in case of instant need of creating something.

I bought buttons and other small items to glue on from Panduro. It doesnt take much to cheer up these salty angels and mooses a little bit. They will look perfect on the tree.

We'll go to my parents for a couple of days and enjoy the calmness of xmas. The kids are really exciteted and are counting days for xmas to come. How BIG xmas is when you are a kid!!
I do remember...

Have a happy, happy xmas everyone:)

Marcus invents jokes

Marcus:

"There were two lorries driving down the road. Then came a dinosaur and stepped on one of them. The other one said: come on frisbee!"

Who taught you that one I asked?
I made it up myself... You see... I think rather much:)

Friday evening snack





This was a pretty good eveningmeal we prepared yesterday.
We are quite found of sweet potatoes and ate a lot of it in Spain where it is a common vegetable in autumn/winter.

You bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for about an hour. They should be soft and sometimes the "caramel" leaks out as well.
Then you mix some fetacheese with a little bit of creme fraiche that you stuff it with together with some black olives and thyme.

Give the sweetpotato a chance folks:)

Hard to be a kid

Marcus said something funny tonight:

Mum, I dont wanna go to the kindergarden tomorrow. I just wanna have a cosy day. Like you adults; when you come together you have coffees and cakes but we kids have to construct and make things all the time. Thats tiring.

Marcus is not staying home tomorrow, but I told him to take a little timeout from making and constructing.
So he will sit on a chair and do nothing. Those were his own words.

A little surprise:)

Tatatata! I'm pregnant:)
We are expecting a little Salvador Wangen in the beginning of summer!
I am about 15 weeks pregnant.
I am feeling GREAT right now, but I have been through tougher days...
Quite a bit of nausea this time, unlike the other pregnancies.
I know what you are all thinking now, but we still dont know the sex.
4th of january will be the magic date:)


I will not show you the photos of my belly yet, as those photos didnt turn out good.
Hard to take nice photos with this little daylight and when you dont have a photographer by your side.
Alright, I will tell Salva to take some.
Because there is a belly to show.

Winter has arrived



Gosh, today winter arrived. It took me 1,5 hours on the bus to get home from work. I didnt even make it on time to pick the kids before closing time in the kindergarden.
Some nice teacher was there with them waiting for my arrival.
We have true winterweather here. And total chaos in the traffic.
It is a bit surprising that the winter comes as a BIG surprise every year and causes so much trouble. Many accidents and a lot of delayals can be the summary of today.
And A LOT OF FUN for the kids.They are out sledging the whole day, and when they are in they do a lot of secret xmas stuff:)

Anyway, we keep the mood up, afterall it looks fantastic and as in a fairytale.
Less practic, but we have to take it as vikings.

Photos from kindergarden photo session



The cutest photo from the kindergarden.
I understand why these people are called professionals.
I never manage to capture these faces.
But I am so grateful someone did.

Grace Jones wreath



I found my knittingsticks again and these nights I was working nightshift I got to do quite a bit.
I ended up doing a Pickles wreath in yellow eskimo, and here is the amazing result:)

I have the feeling I would be accepted easily in certain african tribes....
(excuse the Sunday relaxed hairstyle... but wearing a hat does something to your hair...)



I look like myself as a grandmother, hehe.




And here I am ready to rob a bank.
Maybe they would'nt take seriously a bankrobber dressed as a chicken...

Peppercakehouse



We had friends visiting today to help us to glue together our little cosy peppercakecabin.
We bought the parts for the house this year...I am not really an architect...Just a pity that I had to glue together the parts that SHOULD be whole before we started...


Nonstop and winegum was used for the decoration. 1o in the mouth and 1 on the house was the situation today... Well, saturday and everything:)

The xmas feeling has definitely arrived in the house.
We also went to the library to rent some xmas books for the kids. There will be some reading in bed for sure!

Xmas in the house



The hottest trend this year is to decorate a branch instead of a tree. I think its a great idea since I have a few monkeys here at home that like to swing around and climb in the interior...

So, this morning I found the perfect branch outside the kindergarden. Looking pretty crazy trying to twist it off the rest of the tree. Its not as easy as it looks like without a knife...
Hope nobody from the kgarden saw me...



Well, anyway... Now its up, hanging over my head in the livingroom. I am quite satisfied:)
Our hanging horizontal xmas tree of this year. Yeah, why not?

Decorated with ornaments from "Söstrene grene"; a bird with feather, an owl, a cupcake, a few xmas balls and two dried pieces of orange.

The dried oranges really work great as decoration so I made a few on strings to hang in the kitchen window.






So satisfied with how our little wooden shire is turning out for xmas.
The boys also made some small nisser yesterday. They were easy peasy to make but create such a sweet atmosphere.

Venter paa bestefar...



Da ramler nok bestefar inn dören hver öyeblikk som helst. Tror han skal bevise noe for seg selv i dag. Nemlig at han husker veien helt hjem til oss.
Han er nemlig ikke kontaktbar paa mobilen (men naar han han vel den egentlig paaskrudd??)
Vel, barna ser barnetv og vi drikker nypete. Vaar nye favoritt om dagen.
Jeg sier bare nostalgi. Denne teen minner meg om gamle dager og pakken har ikke forandret seg et dugg siden den oppstod!


Men akk saa god og barna digger den ogsaa. Et sunt alternativ til saft naar den faar avkjölt seg litt.

Fin kveld til alle!

Litt julefornemmelser.


Julen naermer seg og her sitter jeg og mumser paa pepperkaker.
Jeg har ogsaa laget et par stjerner av grener som jeg har limt med limpistol.
Vi er saa smaatt igang med julen her hos oss.

I morgen kommer svigerfar fra spania og vi gleder oss alle. Barna mest.
Haaper vi faar kommet oss gjennom litt obligatorisk pepperkakebaking med han. Vi har lovet at han skal faa med seg hjem en boks med forskjellig godsaker som hörer den norske julen til.

Salvador har begynt aa jobbe igjen og det betyr at naa er det jeg som henter i barnehagen om dagene. Det er saa kjekt aa faa hente dem. Da har vi litt mer tid enn ved levering om morgenen.
Selv om det naa begynner aa bli saa fort mörkt at det faktisk haster litt med aa komme oss avgaarde i tide. Vi gaar jo langs en dritstygg vei... og bilene suser forbi.
Alle vil vi bare komme helskinnet hjem.

I gaar inviterte vi hjem en familie fra barnehagen med to gutter paa middag. Jeg tenkte like greit paa en ukedag, saa er terskelen lav. Huset trenger ikke vaere helt shinet (selv om Salva hadde gjort en veldig bra jobb der!) og maten kan vaere enkel.
Det var veldig vellykket. Ungene storkoste seg og spiste godt av laksepastaen.
Jeg föler at vi har gjort et lite fremsteg med vaart sosiale liv og det er noe vi trives med. Det tar tid aa skape en krets, her paa öyen hadde vi jo ingen vi kjente fra för, men det gaar seg til.
Ungene stortrives i barnehagen og leker hele dagene. DET er det viktigste.

Jeg trives ogsaa paa jobben selv om jeg ikke kommer til aa bli der saa lenge... Faar fortelle mer en annen gang jeg har mer tid. Naa er det nemlig ettermiddagsvakt paa meg.

Ha en super onsdag alle sammen:)
