Uncle Charles visiting

A colleague of mine where over For dinner and The kids fell in love With him within 2 min - maybe because he happily played With them and not constantly busy as mom and dad...

They ended up writing Chinese caracters and drawing pirate things, where Hannah gets finally gets bored and Charles finish The pirate theme drawing himself :-)

Riddle

Hannah's homework of the week was to come up with a riddle about an animal. Morten & I look at eachother with big ??????? We have plenty of Swedish & Danish riddles but in English, none! Meanwhile, Hannah asks us what a riddle is...

Thank Godness for goggle but realise we are in for a challenge if a K1's homework requires us o seek out Google for assistance :-)

...whether homework for K1 level should require parents assistance is another tropic...

Dirty Dancing!!!

LOVE musicals and completely forgot To book tickets to Dirty Dancing - lucky For me, a fellow SWEA member had bought tickets but couldnt make it, good for me :-)

Telling Hannah we are going To a musical named Dirty Dancing. Her response: "are they dancing in mud??"

The show was ok, and nice To finally het some time With Morten, who i havent seen since changing status from stay-at--home-dad to full-time Director... Not complaining but wow was it nice To have him at home With the kiddos :-)

Last evening with the Gorman girls...

It's never fun when your friends move and especially not when it's to the other side of the world... Unfortunately, this happens quite often in environments like Singapore...

The girls got to have a last playdate with Rylie & Paige while their mummy Michelle dropped of their car and got organized For the looooong trip tomorrow to Toronto. They had a blast but play dates right before night time have its challenges...!

Good for me is that Michelle comes back in a few weeks so will have time for a Girls Night Out :-)

Language confusion

Many languages are circulating in My kids surroundings which sometime produce rather funny expressions and situations. Hannah has a tendency to speak swinglish with a Singapore accent... Lah... Im sure she'll grow out of it :)

Also writing is starting To have similar tendency as her speaking language, and I suppose the frequent question marks verify such ;-)

Giant rubber duck

The kids have practised For the Mothers Day performance For weeks and finally it was the big day!! Matilde was unfortunately sick but was completely out so was happy To stay at home With a promise of ice cream...

Hannah's class had three performances; they sang the entire 'over the rainbow' song, a Chinese song focusing on 'wo ai ni' and an Hawaiian dance performance where the girls did the hula hula dance, adorable :-)

Very happy kids and soooo proud mummies :-)

Astrid Lindgren performance

Swedish/Norwegian church had an Astrid Lindgren performance today, and the girls was part of the Karlsson på taket choir.
