Inexpensive fun.

Buy a kid a $100 toy, and after a week, they get tired of it.

Give a kid a blanket...Priceless.

My kids like to make a tent and play underneath while they are watching Disney Playhouse. It's really cute the first few minutes after the initial fighting to find the right place to hide/sit. Maybe it isn't a great idea when you stick 3 kids under one small blanket. Even worse, when Perry stands up and knocks the whole thing down. =)

I got a few good shots of the boys, so I wanted to share.

You know you're in Sweden when...

...People become glad when the weather is warmer by 5 degrees.
Instead of -20 degrees, it was -5 today and people were saying how much warmer it was!
Dude! If the weather is below 0, it is still freaking cold!


I am so sick and tired of the snow. Driving to work is hell, and all the shoveling is making me so sore. We have a snow pile in front of our house that is almost as tall as I am! I swear, all I see is white, and I think I am getting cabin fever! Sooner or later Polar bears will migrate south and come to Stockholm. haha!

I long for warmer weather, although the thought of my pollen allergies is making me nervous. They have been really severe the past few years. Maybe it is aggravated by my old age!

Here is poor Elliot watching me as I shovel.
