DFF ... Dodge-Free Forever ...

and that is a promise because how I hated that Dodge ... it was the last thing I said as I left Hyundai yesterday afternoon with the kids - THANK YOU for making me never ever having to drive that horrid Dodge again and I think every single salesman was told and there was a roar of laughter ... guess they understood my hate :)

So here is our new car

now ... we had already given back the Dodge a month ago and had been driving a rental for that month - we were known at the school for driving the British Taxi - not quite a British Taxi but still very small compared to what we have been driving over here and it was a nice little run-around but not one I'll miss

So the rental was just like 500 m from where we had to pick up the new car and with Bob away, the kids and I had to go get the new car after school so we figured - leave the rental, and then walk over to get the new car ... our salesman was just coming out to put on our licence plate as we walked in - did he ever have a good laugh - not very often they see people walking into their lot to pick up a new car

here the kids are walking to get it

so funny ...

So now we are the happy owners of a Hyundai Veracruz and it is fantastic. Well I am - Bob still hasn't even test driven this car - he totally let me pick the car, test drive the car, pick the color and then signed the papers ... only to find that it didn't arrive on the planned day and now I got to go pick it up as well - and he has to wait another week before he gets to try it out. How many husbands do you know that would trust their wives totally in buying a car ... I love my husband - because he trusts me totally :) and  I am so happy with this car. I cannot get over how much I'm enjoying driving it - well done me :)

I only have one little wish for our new car - a Danish decal, either a flag or a sticker that says "DK". Fortunately I already have one girl who's promised to help out, so hopefully soon enough I can be the proud Dane driving around in a car I actually really like :)

Here is the last photo of the day ...

Happy Easter

28 degrees today ... phew that is hot and I'm not at all enjoying it. Going from 11 - 12 degrees to this extreme heat is not for me but the sunshine is of course happy and wonderful!

Yesterday we did a bit of baking - we made Easter cookies and it is the first time we have done any serious cookie decorations (I know ... I know ... I should of course have done this a hundred times with my cake skills but ... oh well, it just hasn't worked out that way!) ... but this year, with the wonderful present I got from John, Olivia and Isabella there was no way around it and we went all out ...

before ...

during ....

while ...

and after ...

there were many many more - not sure they will be eaten but we have a pretty good idea about what we'll use them for ... they are stunning and the kids did a fabulous job!

Bob is not here this year for Easter - that breaks my heart ... and means I have to do the "Egg Hunt" which I have never ever done before - if anyone has any skills, tips or hints feel free to email ASAP as I will have to set it all up tonight!

Nancy and John will be coming over for an Easter dinner tomorrow night - actually they have agreed to come a little earlier so Maia and Nancy can do a bit of craft before dinner. Maia loves it oh so much, and I do think Nancy is enjoying herself tremendously too !

Hope you have a lovely Easter - and of course that someone gives you a big yummy

 Easter Egg!
