The Story Of Us

The second week of November is when our teachers have their convention, it also happened to be Election Week and the week of Ventran's Day. So D found himself with a week off of school! H in daycare meant no days off for him and that's the way we liked it. This way D and I got the chance to make up on some of our alone time, which we now don't get much of, even if it was just a few hours. We baked!  These marshmallow cupcakes were very good. I used store bought cake mix.. used only half and still ended up with 12 cupcakes! While I followed the recipe  to the T.. the marshmallows didn't melt like they was supposed to and roasted instead..  We played board games and worked on a puzzle. 210 itty bitty pieces. Friday M took the day off and we headed to the Camden Adventure Aquarium. The last time we were at the aquarium D was a year and a half. here's a D throwback and more from that trip here and there was a merm

We spent our last day and a half in Copenhagen.. we started our fourth morning with breakfast in Cafe Europa. This was my favorite breakfast of our trip.   After our bellies were full we headed towards Church of Our Savior, a baroque church most famous for its helix spire with an external winding staircase that can be climbed to the top, offering extensive views over central Copenhagen. All I can say is wow! It had been a chilly morning, by the time we were half way up the spiral it had gotten windy and started to drizzle.. it was exhilarating, also a little scary.. had to really hold on to D, I was afraid we'd fly away. H had to be carried all the way up, the stairs were irregular so M was exhausted by the time we got to the top. But so worth it.  After the church we walked through Christiania, a self proclaimed autonomous neighborhood of less than 1000 residents. It is famous for it's hippie culture and cannabis. No photography.  We were g

I'm going to take a break from Denmark posts this week for a Halloween post. Will be back with one last Denmark post next week.. We had a pretty good Halloween this year. We were hosting a Halloween party so we were in an especially festive mood. We decorated the house.. the balloon ghosts were especially fun to make and M was busy cutting up garbage bags making spider webs.. next time he wants to make a spider too. This year H was a bit spooked and was afraid of going into any room with a white balloon. It was kinda funny.  I made mummified chicken tenders for the kids and mummified jalapeno's poppers for the adults.. It was a pot luck so everyone pitched it. I made some orange sherbet punch.. my first time ever making punch and surprise surprise it was a hit.. the kids got a kick out of the eye balls floating about. One of my friends daughter made these adorable witch hats.  after lunch the kids decorated foam pumpki
