Sunday is Soccer

It's been a really busy weekend! We can safely say that Emilie has been celebrated well. Had a lovely Saturday evening at Solbakken with friends and family.

Sunday ended up being a busy day too. I decided the night before that Madelen's bedroom needed changing around. So after some pulling and shoving and a good amount of vacuuming, she's got a better organized bedroom and it's easier for the girls to watch TV from her bed now. Cozy on a rainy afternoon.



And since we were at it, we went ahead and moved Rebecca's room around.





And since that all went so well, I decided I could just as well switch out our living room curtains and area rug. In the winter we have lovely chocolatey brown curtains that make the room feel warm and cozy. But now that SPRING is...well, springing, I was ready for something light and airy.




But today's highlight was most definitely the Neumann Cup soccer tournament for Emilie. Soccer is big in Norway. Really big. I wouldn't quite put it there with hockey in Canada but you catch my drift. Her 3rd grade class is her team and Sindre is one of their coaches. Actually their "soccer team" is a part of the "Children's Athletics" program they offer here in Spangereid. They have an hour of athletics one evening a week. They do all sorts of things, soccer being one of them. I love how physical fitness is made a priority here. Anyway, they played 3 games today. First match they lost 3-0. Second match they also lost 3-0. But third time's the charm and they WON 1-0!!! Hipp hipp hurrah! That goal "tasted good" as they say in Norwegian. We cheered and praised them to the heavens and they all got a trophy!



It's definitely been an eventful weekend. And another new week starting....
