Sometimes for anniversaries it's the little things that make a big difference. I'm a big fan of cards with meaningful notes (not the standard, "love ya, babe!" stuff). : )

What if you made a special dinner and lit candles and had pretty music playing and ate it with the kids? :)

I think that we all need to bow before you and your photoshop skills. I am so impressed. I need a tutorial :-)

And for the anniversary - we just do a boring night out - like dinner and a movie...

For the anniversary...after you put Eva to bed, grab a travel book (or go online) with hubby and plan your dream vacation together (whether you go on it or not, it is still romantic.)

For Valentine's Day, I hate going out to a resturant. Its just to crowded. So my husband and I set up a picnic on the floor with finger foods.

I agree with Kat, what a cute invitation,I am sure that blew the neighbors socks off! My friends once for their anniversary set a ridiculously low limit for presents- something like the equivilent of 5 USD and it was really cute what thez got each other. He got her a goldfish and she got him a lucky bamboo plant. Maybe that is an idea which forces creativity and is a bit out of the box? You have a busy week ahead, good luck!!

Some friends of hubby & I go out w/ their kids. His reason is that part of why they got married was to have kids so why not include them in the celebration? They did celebrate alone later. *wink*

Sushi! I'll babysit and you and Bjørn can go out for sushi etc and fetch the children the next morning.

Or you can just stay at home and finish off a bottle of wine......

I'm catching up....I love all the pics from the vacation. I'm happy that everyone had a great time (my kids would have been tied up and crying by day 5....did I just admit to that?!).

Such fond memories of our time in Bavaria!!

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood...

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long...
