Living at Sævik - Vi såm levvi på Sevvi

Hello, folks!

Well... I haven´t been blogging for eleven months, so I fear that you have given me up. But - soon I will be back to share some memories with you!

Happy birthday (tomorrow) to: Norway, BigGirl (9 years), LittleCowboy (9 years), my father-in-law (70), Rebekka Iren and Miriam!

Princess is feeding little Prince Charming
as his big sister is watching.

17th of May 2008. You can see three women dressed in National costumes;
Nordlandsbunaden, Solrun in the green version of Trønderbunaden and me in the blue
version of Trønderbudnaden.

Have you seen Calvin and Hobbes? Pinky knows how to make a real Calvin grimace!

... how it was, having small children. I´m a child minder for a wonderful baby boy
and his sweet sister. I just love it! And my children also love it. The photo is taken
on Monday. Lison, Princess and I went for a walk with our friends and Pinky in
the strollers. I just love having the kids here! Lison as well! She is an angel! And
I´m so happy that the children enjoy being here, too! My children are sooo kind
and caring towards their new friends!

This easter Princess got a friend - a boy who is five years older
than her. She cried as he left last Sunday. She was very sad! 

On Monday I told her that his birthday is in April. She decided to
give him a birhday present. She bought candy for him, and she 
also gave him a hand made present.

I wanted to help her writing his name on the envelope, but she
insisted on doing it on her own. It´s the cutest hand written address
I have ever seen. I should have showed you, but unfortunately I
can´t publish his name and address on the Internet. In this photo
you can see the name of the sender on the reverse. Isn´t it cute?
She even wrote the birthday card herself. She told me what to write
on a piece of paper, and then she wrote all letters on the card herself.

I´m sure her friend was happy to receive her parcel. I think he 
understands that this was made with love.

I´m so happy that our kids have good triends!

On Thursday we placed all our shoes on the kitchen floor. 160 pairs, my
oldest son said. He didn´t count Sonjas shoes. 14 feet need a lot of shoes, but
160 is far too much. :-P Then we picked out summer shoes for everybody and
put all the other shoes back in the store room.



Then we put all outdoor clothes on the (clean) kitchen floor and picked out 
the clothes that will fit us this summer. Afterwards I washed winter clothes 
before I put them back in the store room again.  

On Friday my kids had to go by bicycle to school without mittens. I had
washed all mittens and they were WET.... Poor kids. They all survived the
cold bike trip on Friday morning.... :-)

Today we went to a café consert in Namsos.

Namdal symphony orchestra (Namdal Symfoniorkester) played together with young soloists and "100 violins".

My three fiddlers have taken part in the "100 violins" project through their violin education. It was a wonderful experience to see and hear them. Did you find them in this photo? You can also see two of their cousins - Håkon and Isak.
