Pippi Longstocking theme

Pippi Longstocking theme at day-care today. How easy is it to dress out a bot to Pippi? Not at all! So we did out own male version of Pippi.
They got to walk on tables, eat with their fingers, throw pancakes in the air, put all furniture's in the middle of the room and all possible things that is never ever allowed otherwise! The perfect day for a 4-year-old!!

Hearing test

It only takes a few days to get into the same old routines. I'm glad we got our batteries loaded in Sälen because seeing the naked trees, colourless gardens and grey weather here down south isn't very inspiring. 
After baby swim with Oliver today I picked up Kevin and went to Malmö to check his hearing now when he has got pipes in his ears. Right ear was perfect but left ear is still not good enough. So we have another couple of visits to different doctors before we can breath out. Lucky I'm on maternity leave so I have plenty of time to show up at all there appointments.

Restless women on maternityleave

Another great Monday with family Henberg-Johansson. The boys had an intensive and fun day.
Vivvi and myself are two very similar girls. Today when we went with the boys to the playground we started to talk about training, get in shape, challenges, upcoming spring/summer etc etc.... and all of a sudden we agreed to do A Swedish Classicer year 2012. Two restless women on maternity leave are no good combination. We've now committed to complete 90km skiing, 300km biking, 3km swimming and 30km running during 2012!

King of the hills

Today we got a new king of the hills - Kevin! After several days of trying to get Kevin to break or at least to turn to get some sort of control over the speed without success, we got a big breakthrough today. All of a sudden he just found the technique of breaking. He could now go both up the lift and down the hill by him self. Skiing became so much more fun for him that he didn't wanted to stop. Just the way you want it to be on a skiing holiday!

Gave up/ Comeback

Another sunny day in paradise! Kevin skied with Tobias and did really well today. Much more accepted to get instruction from someone else but your parents. After a break with blueberry muffin and some play in the snow Kevin badly wanted to ski again. But this time he went up on his own! He also tried to go down on his own which resulted in a couple of great falls. But after some pep talk he was up and away again.
Daniel on the other hand gave up and did a comeback within an hour. After trying a little too steep slope he gave up and said this wasn't anything for him. But then he found a more suitable hill and he did a great comeback and skied like never before.
Tonight it was time for bbq which the men prepared at the same time as enjoying a beer and a cigar.

Another day in paradise

A little too windy today to enjoy skiing all day long. So we skied until noon, had lunch and then went to a water land.

Dress smart

Today we have cold wind and several minus degrees. It's therefore important to dress the kids well. Think we have managed pretty well with Oliver. Not sure he'll forgive us for making him look like a seal!
