Hey mom (yes, you with the camera) – why don’t you forget about those boring trees over there.. and take a look at me instead!

Ok sure, Mr Funny Face, never mind the trees. I can take those pictures another day. What is this anyway; a little touch of spring fever? Hmm.. probably ;)

Furry Funny Fellows

My youngest is a bit concerned about monsters.. I mean, how can he really be sure there isn’t one inside his closet? So I showed him this video .. to take away his worries. After all, everyone deserves to be happy – even monsters! :)

Enjoy the weekend

How about that miniature tiger; is he cute or what? :o )

The Popcorn Girl

Posted in fun, music by Linda on August 22, 2008

My dear grandmother who is now 83, loves to tell this story from I was a two year old. As for myself, I don’t remember much of it. But apparently she took me to the local record store that day, and as I was sitting on the counter, with my legs swinging in the air and the headphones on, they put on the hottest record of that year; “Popcorn” with Hot Butter. Moving my body to the music, I shouted to her: “Common Granny, dance!!!” Of course she couldn’t hear a thing.

That was my first real encounter with music, and the record became my favorite for a long time. Sadly I don’t have it anymore. When I listen to the melody now it seems, well.. almost a bit annoying. But I can see why I liked it as a child; it’s a quick, funny and happy tune. And it’s a nice memory. To be honest I never was much for popcorn though… I must admit I’m more a chocolate kind of girl :)

My kids had a good laugh at this version below:

The Amazing Goldfish

Posted in fun by Linda on May 28, 2008

Have you ever seen anything like this? I had no idea a goldfish could be trained to perform tricks like that!

My five year old actually has two goldfish, but I cannot imagine them doing anything like this. (Although they are doing some extensive splashing around when one of us is approaching the fish tank, as they believe there is a chance of some extra snack). Perhaps we should try the Fish School? – No, I think not :)

Something in my Ear

Posted in family, fun, kids, life by Linda on May 21, 2008

I’d like to share a little story. The other night as we were having supper, I was trying to get a message through to Mr S. As usual at bedtime, this was everything but easy.. I often ask myself whether his ears are functioning at all (of course they are working perfectly). Anyway, after trying some – with no result – all of a sudden he turns his face towards me and says in his most sincere and innocent voice: “oh I’m sorry mom, what did you say? I didn’t hear you, you see I had a banana in my ear”.

Now how about that – a banana! What an idea! There wasn’t even any fruit on the menu that evening.

I went to bed laughing that night. A banana in my ear. Can you believe whatever put that thought inside his head. Life is more fun with a five year old :)
