Quote of the Day

Marcus came out of his room in this outfit this morning and said, "I can't find any socks that match."

School's Out!

Here's how the kids have been keeping busy since school ended...

New shark scissors from Maris with real chomping sounds

Two kids in one room... so far, so good!

Johan's old AC/DC shirt finds new life

Midsummer

Marcus's school had a midsummer celebration, which Ellen enjoyed, too!

Has it Really Been (Almost) a Month???

End-of-the-school-year madness is finally over, and I just realized that, in the mad rush/celebration these last weeks, I haven't posted in almost a month!

Here's a photo of Marcus's end-of-the-year celebration. They sang Swedish, Danish and Norwegian songs, ate lots of desserts and then played on the climber.

We now have two that love the water. Whether it came naturally or via a little coersion on Marcus's part, Ellen now gladly pours water over her head, splashes and, as you can see, runs through any water she can find. Johan quickly gave up on watering the plants.

Today Ellen is 18 months! She's a happy, busy girl.
