Whew what a week...

A little update from the Rasmussen household.

We had a busy but very enjoyable weekend. It started Friday evening with us going to visit my crazy friend Anne and her family. Sara had told her cousin about the fun we have at their house and so Christine wanted to come along with us. We had a brilliant night as always, playing Wii, playstation, dance mats and having singing competitions. (We were singing Abba all night - hilarious!!) The time just flew by. (Christine enjoyed it sooo much that she has asked to be allowed to come everytime we have family night - off course you can Christine!!)

In the wee early hours of Saturday morning we headed home. We got a surprise when we came out to the car to drive home - it was covered in snow. Denmark had it´s first fall of snow for this winter!

Saturday we had a long lie in and the rest of the day was spent food shopping and cleaning. Saturday evening Krisitans sister Hanne and her husband Flemming came to dinner. They were coming up to collect their daughter Christine so we thought we could just as well make a night of it. So we had another cosy evening with them.

Sunday we went to church. Leah was singing a solo and did really well.

Sara got sick on Sunday afternoon. She threw up all over her bedroom floor (yeah - lovely I know!!) then she got this really high fever. She was feeling really awful - the fever has now gone and she just has a really bad cold and sore throat and thankfully the throwing up has also stopped.

Leah was also sick with sore throat and fever. So Monday morning we had two sick children at home.

Leah is all better now and was back at school today, Sara is still recovering and to help keep her company Andrew went and got himself a really bad cold too - sore throat, running nose, the works!! So he and Sara have been keeping each other company today.


Just thought this was such a cute picture of Sara and the cat. She was feeling so rotten and the cat jumped up and fell asleep with her.

Then last night Kristian surprised me with the new Mamma Mia film!! Isnt he just the best!

It came out on DVD on Monday. Then yesterday Kristian came home from work, said hello, we chatted a bit, he hung his coat up etc....It didnt look like he had been out shopping, he had no bags or anything home with him. So I didnt suspect a thing.

Then I started to make dinner. While the food was cooking I decided I would just check some emails. When I walked around from the kitchen to my wee table with my computer, there lying on my computer was the Mamma Mia dvd. I was so shocked I screamed. Kristian wondered what was wrong...(he forgot he had put it there a little while before!) Needless to say, I was totally over the moon!! (Now he can race cars for the next month - 24 hours a day! haha)

Now I am about to go and get ready to go out for dinner. My colleagues and I are going to the mexican for a wee treat. We have been collecting bottle money for months. (Any empty bottles we find we collect them and take them to the shop were we get money for them - then we put the money to the side and go out for a treat when we have saved up enough.) So we have enough saved to go out for a meal and then on to see a new Danish film that has just come out. It´s great getting a night out without it costing me anything!!
