One month to Christmas!

And that statement could make any full-time-working mother to get an ulcer and that's why I'm happy to say that today I bought all the big Christmas gifts and all the Christmas cards. After debating whether the girls should have Ipads or cross-country skies we finally decided to go with the skies. I really want us to be a healthy out-door family and then it doesn't feel completely right to buy and Ipad to a 2,5 year old, even if it probably would be convinient to have when we travel to Canada next summer...

The rest of this week has been extremely busy as usual. I worked, cooked, cleaned, picked up the girls from daycare, ran 54,3 km (!) and then it was Friday evening and time to decompress... On Saturday we attended my stepmothers vernissage and even though the girls were screaming and running all over the place we actually manage to buy a painting. That feels so grown-up, to walk around on an exhibition and decide that yes, this would look good in our guest-toilet (well, not in the toilet but on the wall facing the person sitting on the toilet...), lets buy it! The exhibition is on until December 13th so you still have plenty of time to stop by and see some lovely art.

And after this crazy Sunday when I got all the Christmas gifts, cards and tons of groceries, H made us a lovely meal - fondue. And this is the only picture from this week, the girls just took their bath and were all excited over the fondue and the fact that they could eat supper in their robs...

Another November week is to an end and next week we're entering a brighter month thank God...
