We had great help in our DD - 10 yo. She took care of most of the girls. She
found her old Barbie stuff.

They ate 100 pancakes among them.

grown up!

He nearly is. He got himself a new "big" bike (he's a very small 6 yo), and
today is last day in kindergarten/daycare/what-do-you-guys-call-the-stuff so
I'm on my way there by car with the goodbye-icecream soon.

He's starting school in August. He calculates pretty well but he's not so
much into reading yet. Managed to figure out how long it would take to drive
a kilometer if you were driving 120 km/hour.

He has a girlfriend (forgot to say goodbye before her vacation - will have
to do so later) and a grown-up bed. He just left his night diaper (a little
late there like his dad) and he play with Mäeklin electrical train.

Tomorrow he's go on vacation with our best friends together with his 10 yo
sister Karen. It's his first overnight stay. I'll be without kids with DH
for five days- if it works out. Waaaah - in a jiffy he'l move out for good
and have his own kids.

Sounds like fun!

He's a smart one! My second son is a math whiz as well.

Wow! Have a great time!

No kidding--it goes so fast. My oldest is now as tall as I am and we can share
clothes and shoes!

My daughter is the same - and she's not even 11. DH is 40 cm taller than
meself.

BTW - she doesn't *share* shoes - she steals them, ruins them and I never
see them again.

(My son managed the first night out without mommy and DH and I went out - he
invited (hasn't happened in three years))

My husband is 6'3" and my father is 6'4". I fully expect that at almost 5'7" I
will end up being the shortest person in the house.

I haven't let Emily borrow anything of mine--it is me doing the borrowing!

Good for you--I hope you had a wonderful time!

There's something about short men - they sort of don't press any buttons
with me. They have to be tall to be interesting. :-)

She's a bit slim still - but it won't be long.

We did - the circus was ridiculous and hilarious funny. Not for kids. We had
a jazz festival in town so we just stolled through the center listening to
people playing in the street.

....and image having s*x without listening for any kids waking up :-) I
haven't done that for >10 years, I think.

Today I stayed at work programming (having fun!) until 7 without having a
bad conscience - I usually leave between 5 and 5.30. It was fun and I can
take the hours off another day.

ITA. Was your father tall? I've always felt that had something to do with it.
MY husband doesn't seem tall to me; he's just the normal height a man is
supposed to be!

Aha! I've been losing weight, which is why I can fit into Emily's clothes.
Soon they will be too big for me.

We used to go away for a weekend now and again before William came along. Now
it will be at least another year before we can be alone at night.

I'm glad you are making the most of your "vacation"!
