Weekend - and more

I've been having big problems with my internet connection at home, and it takes forever to update and upload to the blog. I'm sneaking this one in at work - so don't tell LOL

February 19Friday night is tv night so we make popcorn and get cozy in front of the tv. There are 2 comedy shows the girls get to watch Friday nights and they look forward to them all week. And daddy's popcorn tops the night :)

We went to Reykjavik Saturday morning. It was cold and windy and when Lovisa Lin got dressed, she put on shorts, knee-high woolen socks and those summery shoes LOL At least she wore woolen socks - although the didn't quite reach up to the point where her pants ended, so there was a part of her lower thigh that was naked :)

February 21
Sunday was "wife-day" here in Iceland. We have "husband-day" around the 20 of January and "wife-day" around the 20 of February. They each mark the beginning of a new winter month according to the old Icelandic calendar system. These days are our equivalents of Valentines Day, and Sunday it was DH's turn to pamper me LOL So Saturday, we left the girls at mom's an he took me to a hotel and out to eat at a really good restaurant. It was a fantastic 24 hours - if only for the fact that this is the first night since March 1, 2004 that I have spent a night without either or both girls :) Anyways, he got us a really nice room on the top (executive) floor of the Hilton Hotel Reykjavik - and this is the view from our 9th floor queen size room :)

February 22I made Indian food yesterday, and although I loved it, both girls thought it was too spicy. Lovisa Lin tried her hardest to eat it with lots of rice and veggies, but even though I mashed the meat (without sauce) into the rice for Matthildur, she really didn't care for it at all. She tried, though, and since we have been giving them a hard time about eating the food they get and not appreciating the food they get, she told me how much she loved this food, grimacing through every bite LOL Poor kid. This is her, trying to put a positive spin on the food :)
