Missing days...

The weather has been nice around here so far this year. It's actually unusually bright and still and we've had hardly any snow - just the perfect amount (knock on wood!!). But, it's been cold and the girls have had runny noses and sore throats, so we haven't been able to take full advantage of the good days yet.

February 4
So we spent Wednesday inside reading. Lovisa is already an almost fluent reader and reads for joy. She still has to read her school books, though, and when I get home from work we get the books and crawl onto my bed and she reads for me. Usually Matthildur goes and gets her own book to read beside us, and lately the cat crawls into bed with us, plomps herself down next to Lovisa and purrs of all her might LOL It's a very cozy moment - until Matthildur insists to read out loud too :)

February 5
Thursday I had a meeting after work and didn't come home until late. DH was preparing dinner and Matthildur Inga was cleaning up after him LOL It just amazes me how easily kids can squat for a long time!!

February 6Finally, yesterday, we got a chance to go out for a bit of a walk. I actually had quite a few photos to choose from for photo of the day, but decided to use this one. This is Lovisa pulling Matthildur on the sled - which she did for a LONG time to both of their amuzement :) Lovisa was just a bundle of energy yesterday, pulled Matthildur on the sled, then when we came back home, she went sledding with a couple of friends from school - and then she spent the rest of the evening jumping on the trampoline!! Matthildur, however, fell asleep on the sled and then vegetated in front of the TV, watching Astrid Lindgren's Emil of Lönneberga. Matthildur is a bit like Emil - so if you've ever seen the show, or read the books - you'll know she's a handful LOL

Here's my week 5 layout - I used Gina Marie Huff's Life 365 kit and template. I love this kit - totally fantastic!!
And now it's Saturday, the weather is good again - and we are off on a walk in a little bit.

Such a sweet photo of Lovisa reading and your journaling is wonderful - sounds like a such a cozy time with your daughters (and kitty LOL)!

So great that Matthildur Inga loves to help. She looks to be doing a great job.

Looks and sounds like they had a wonderful time outside. Bet they both slept good last night.

Great layout for week 5. Like how you include your journaling and you do such a fantastic job with that great kit!

Have a great weekend!

What a beautiful face and complexion she has. I live your January - February page too -- it's so interesting to see the different ways we put together using the same elements.

Gorgeous photos! I love the crop on Lovisa's photo and the way it looks like she is pondering over the book. Matthildur's photo is just adorable. How sweet she is willing to help out. The snow shot is beautiful. I love the panorama feel to it. Your layout is lovely too!
