Everyday Stuff….

Nothing too terribly exciting for this Monday, I went to work today at the new barnehage (nursery). Was going to wash up the new dishes and find homes for everything in my new kitchen and then help the ladies unpack toys and get those divided around…wasn’t planning to stay longer then 4.5 hours today, thought I’d go in 4.5 hours each day this week…but then I got started on this…

There had to be at least 50 million pieces to this thing and I swear, there is probably some little China man sitting in China laughing his head off at the thought of parents (and nursery workers) having to put together these gigantic architectual works with the 50 million pieces…see all those flowers, you have to actually attach EACH flower individually. God, what I don’t do for these kids I work with….hope they know how much I love them because I wouldn’t just do this for anyone…..ok, maybe I would…but still….it’s A LOT of work!!! I must have used 4-5 hours to put this together!! So with everything I did today I was at work for seven hours and came home with a sore back again. Last time I was at the new barnehage my back hurt also, I must be pushing myself too hard when I’m there?

Thought I’d add some photos from around the place for the Captain…he reads my blog and enjoys seeing photos of home…of course I usually add a lot of photos of dogs, so I need to add some other stuff…like Julia working on her moped…she’s such a tomgirl…

Photos of home are also good I think…makes him homesick…yeah…that’s a stuffed duck on top of the garage…some wise cracker tossed it up there…now, do you suppose we’ll get it down before the snow comes??

I was running the ATV around in the field the other day in order to exercise the boys…they had a blast running after me and to tell ya the truth, nothing like hitting the bump in the field and jumping a little with the ATV to get me to squeal with delight….

What do you know, more dog photos…how did they get in there??? hehehehe ;-))) Well, look how much fun they were having, had to share that with you….and isn’t this brotherly love just so sweet??

This love is also sweet…

I haven’t baked much lately but when I had four days off I had to bake a little…this was it for me…nice whole grain rolls…I kept a bag out and froze the rest…even though I’m not a fan of frozen baked goods…nothing beats fresh…it’s good to have some rolls to take out when we’re having soup or something..

Today we got some good news, Stig is getting tax money back :-)) Now we can pay down some debt and maybe even have a little vacation on the side…oh and the Captain thinks it’s time we splurge and get a new dishwasher…we’ve been doing dishes by hand the last three months and while it was charming at first, when you’re tired and just want to load and go…it would be nice with a dishwasher..so that will be an early Christmas present :-) Anyone care to recommend a dishwasher they are totally pleased with??

Have a great Monday everyone- until next time…
