How about some pictures

Yes, how about that?

Bob took the first picture one morning this weekend when us girls were snuggling in bed.

I took the first one of Kristín Lára on Monday night, she quite often sneaks up into our bed and falls asleep there.

The other two I took tonight. Aparently it's "teddy-cuddle-night" tonight. Kristín Lára loves that "Gilli" of hers and Sólveig Lilja is half underneath her big bear.

Back down again

I had my weekly weighing yesterday and I have got rid of 31.7 kilos. I have got rid of some weight now for two weeks in a row so I am hoping that I am back on track. I partially "blame" this slow progress on my biking, that I am building muscles - which are heavier than fat - and my clothes feel looser now. So now I just have to get going properly again.

I was painting the girls' new bedroom over the weekend. The wall around the window is dark purple and the rest of the walls bright yellow. Painted the ceiling as well, white. I also bought some shelves and a couple of frames, the shelves I painted pink as the shelves Sólveig Lilja has in her room right now, and the frames I painted one pink and one purple. Then I had them make their hand prints on a yellow background, one purple and one pink. It's quite nice actually. Then we also picked out new curtains, Pooh bear on yellow background. I think it's going to look pretty nice. I think I'm going to paint her bed as well, think it would look pretty if it was pink :)

Up and down - again

I went to the weekly weighing on Tuesday. The two weeks before I had put on weight, 1,6 kilos all together, but now I finally got rid of a little bit, 900 grams. About time!

I've been working away with my math problems, the test is tomorrow morning. This time, how about passing? Would be very nice, actually.

It's Bob's birthday today, happy birthday sweetheart. We got him a bottle of aftershave and a coffee mug to replace the one he broke the other day. I think the girls liked fuzzing over him a little bit and I sure do ;)

A few weeks ago we saw an ad in the local magazine about American students in RES (Reusable Energy School I think it stands for) here for 4 weeks. They were looking for people to take them into their homes while they are here and we applied - and are getting one. We still don't know anything about this student, we will get information next week, I think. I think it's very interesting, this is a new school and sounds interesting and it's always nice to meet new people. We are going to let him or her stay in the bedroom that we are going to decorate for the girls, they will have to wait moving in until he - or she - is gone in July. Sólveig Lilja and I have been talking about colours and things, she wants black but I have already said no to that idea! My ideas are yellow and purple and maybe keep the shelves pink as they are now. But they will get a lot more shelves than Sólveig Lilja has now. We got her a new bed last weekend, we haven't assembled it yet but will do after we've painted the walls. Or after I have, I'm the painter in the family. Although I have promised Sólveig Lilja that she can help, don't know how I'm going to talk myself out of that.

Lambs

I took the girls to the farm yesterday to see the lambs. They seemed to enjoy it! The weather was great and they loved being outside with the animals. As they do at home, they love to be out on the deck, in the swing or playing with Muggles.
