Someone threw this out ...

The weather today was amazing, and while Magnus, two friends and me were sitting outside, I saw this!

Or well, okay, it didn't look like this when I found it. It was just a flat box, but it was just waiting to transformed into a little house.

And what a great little house it is. We all love it, and it holds all three Brandt Men.

The bucketlist - Reading away!

Completely unrelated to the text, I just couldn't not post it

A few weeks ago I was attending a meeting where all the participants did a short presentation of them selves. The first two told of an upcoming travel to the Netherlands where they were to stay at an old convent. Another vacation to a convention in England would follow a few months later.

The third participant was telling how they were going to LA for 7 weeks at the end of the year. They normally go 3 months every year, but this year they had spent 2 months in Thailand already and felt maybe being home a little was nice too.

And me, I told them that my children had chicken pox!

It was a sad, sad moment for me.

But it got me thinking that maybe it was time for something new, something more, and so within a few days the bucketlist was created.

One of my favorite points of the list is reading 40 books from this list "1001 books to read before you die". Since I believe there is no time like the present and dived right in. Three days later I finished "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen.

I think I fell in love with my bucketlist halfway through that book. If that bucketlist made me have these amazing experiences with this book it could only be a good thing. A great thing actually!

And so now I've begun reading "Jane Eyre", and though I am still in the depressing part of the book *sigh* good things lie ahead. Yum!

Lene!

Ps. Yes, again unrelated, but look at that kid ...

Today on our way home from Sweden he said to me: "What if ... what if there was so many moles in the world, that we couldn't walk anywhere".

"Yes", I answered, "then we might step on some of them."

"Ha ha, then they would become all flat" was his happy reply.

We're back

We're back - a new place, but everything else still looks the same. There will be plenty of pictures of the kids, random stories from our life and  hopefully all the little things that I want to be able to pull out in 10 years time and show the kids.

It will be epic! All of it!

See how excited Samuel is?

Might have something to do with the fact that he is on a giant swing with his daddy and brother and the sun is shining. But let's pretend the excitement is about the new blog, shall we!
