Benjamin, our middle son, he is 5 and he is just adorable :) He has such a big personality, and he is always smiling and laughing and another one who is always up to mischief :) Benjamin sure does have a sparkle in his eye, which no one can resist, he just has a way of melting your heart.
Benjamin has lot's of interests, he is not that keen on tv, he likes to entertain himself...and us. He loves jigsaw puzzles, and anything to do with arts and crafts...and he also loves to bake...He get's that from me!!! And so Benjamin and I are often found in the kitchen cooking up a storm, or making cakes and lovely breads. I realy love spending time with Ben, and thoroughly enjoy his company.
We have had tons of snow this year, and Benjamin has realy been super clever on ski's, I am so impressed....that he deffo does not get from me...nor his dad!! so we are very proud of him. He won this medal for participating in a ski "game" for lack of a better word. in Norway they call it a skirenn...but as us english are not used to having snow...I just can't think of the english name, comment if you know and put me out of my missery ...PLEASE :)
He is such a cutie :)....(something else he must get from me ) !!
Well it's getting quite stormy outside tonight, it had been raing all day, The snow is finaly going after over three months solid. I must admitt I can't wait to see some greenery, as James said yesterday...He cant wait to here the sound of the lawn mower!!!
I think it's time for old man winter to pack up and leave when even the kids have had enough for one year!!
Everyone has gone to bed, so the house is so peacful, I'm going to just relax , have a cup of tea and read a little bit of "P.s I love you", before bed. A fantastic book, If you havent read it I strongly recommend that you do, but be warned...it's a weeper so have a box of kleenex at you side at all times :)
Enjoy the rest of the evening , and have a fantastic weekend :)
I make them quite often, and make about 40 when I get started...I always invite my sister and family to join us for dinner whenever we have spring rolls.
Yum Yumo :) Delicious :)
We have had a lovely visit off my dad and his partner Elsa today, they live in bergen which is about 2hr drive from us, and they brought me these lovely tulips :)
we had a nice lunch, I just made some sandwiches.
Kieran showed dad and Elsa how to play the wii.....
They where entertained for ages....(worse than the kids they where!!)
Some realy sweet strawberrys for healthy measure :) :) they where delicious :)
I think someone needs a bath before bed ...lol!!!
The snow has finaly decided to clear off, after more than three months, and so the boy's have been dying to get out on their bike...and Heelies!!! James and Benjamin both got heelies for christmas..but have not been able to try them outside, so today Benjamin was desperate to have a go...However...after about 5min, he got fed up, and went on his bike. Kieran had his first go on a little truck, and loved it.
He just loves being outside, and found all soughts of muck and dirt he just had to give us!!
James and Benjamin met up with some friends, they are realy lucky..most of their friend live close by, within walking distance, which means I dont have to drive them back and forth all day long:) there is plenty of kids to play with after school.
Kieran giving a little pose with his "new" but actually very old and tatty little truck :)
Benjamin thinks Nannie needs a bit of help opening her pressies :)
A toiletroll holder...just what she always wanted :) ( She is doing her bathroom up )
I baked two cakes today for the tea party......
a snickers cake, which is dangerously yummy..... and in the background, is Norways national cake. It's originally call "kvæfjordkake", but it is known as " verdens beste" as in " the world best" And this is mums favoritt cake.
Mum made sausage rolls, and "pasties"..we always feel like we're in sayers ( an english bakery) or we pretend we are anyway :)
Benjamin and Kieran having a little cuddle on the couch after all the sausage rolls and cake.
Best buddies?? I hope so :)
The peace has settles in the house, now that the kids are finaly asleep in bed, 
With lot's of different topping to choose from.......
The kids got quite creative :)
Even a pizza monster...
I was realy surprised, as every single one of the kids ate their pizza all up...with no help from mum!!
