We've had another lot of snow yesterday evening, so My oldest and I had a midnight walk again.
When we were standing at the lake, a cloud appeared in a pink, orange, almost lighting colour.
It moved with the other clouds, which were just whitish and a bit grey, and above our heads it was growing.
The birds were all quiet.
We got cold and walked towards our house.
When we entered the street the sky was full of a pinkish grey colour.
I've never seen something like that.
It was amazing.
I don't know what it was.
It's not reflection from underneath.
Maybe we saw the reflection of an electromagnetic storm??
Maybe we've been the only ones who have seen it, as we didn't read anything in the papers.
During the day most of the snow has melted, but not it's freezing rather bad.
I hope there are busses tomorrow early in the morning, otherwise we can't go to bagpipe lesson.

We've had increadible weather.
Nothing special for others, but for us it was.
Just a bit of snow yesterday early evening and then it went on and on and on...
So I had a walk with one of my sons, and wen another 5 cm was added I got the girls out of bed and we had a walk in the middle of the night.
It's a holiday here and snow it this time is rather special.
This morning they quickly made a snowhut, and sat in it giggling.
An hour later it collapsed in the sunlight.
The day was sunny and tonight more cold and snow is expected.
Tomorrow even snow and storm.
Also tried out the new camera.
The photos are not as good as I expected, but it's something.

Matters are solved with Lars.
Had a good talk about it. He appologized. And now we can see how long his memory lasts.
It was a rather quiet day.
I needed that.
So I studied a bit, practiced on the chanter, answered quite some mail.
Did loads of laundry and was caught up in a discussion about upbringing.
There are many times I'm happy I've gone through extensive training at university.
And especially that my interests were right on spot, with regards of the problems my children have.
One thing I've learned is that children are not out to get you, but that they are struggling with their own limits and boundaries.
Maybe this gives me most of the time enough distance not to react too emotional.
If they can't deal with their own emotions, how can I expect them to deal with mine too?
I see that Lars simply backs out when I get too emotional.
I can teach him behaviour how to observe and to deal with it, but that's it.
Like Nyo was teached to lable emotions with the help of photos. (And later by us telling how we were feeling.) And he still has problems seeing the difference between someone being angry and someone being very tired.
Maybe I have too much patience, or maybe I'm too positive about children.
I don't believe easily that all children are manipulating bitches.
There's always something else behind disrespect and a big mouth. And even though they have to show decent behaviour and I won't tolerate disrespect and a big mouth, I als want to know from what feeling it originated.
Kind of like getting rid of weeds.
You can pull out the leaves and stems, but when you won't get to the root of it it will pop-up over and over again.
Well. I'm lucky that I have a good contact with the school of Thami and Nyo.
Their former schools didn't care about them, but only if they had the right results.
They got punished for not finishing their homework.
This school doesn't want parents to do too much, because if they do the teachers loose sight on what the kids can and can't.
So when I child has tried, I write a note stating what we have done at home and where we think the problem lies.
The teacher can then have a look if more pupils are going through the same problem and take it from there.
Thami is there now half a year and he's doing far better than he's ever done before.
They first found out what he could and could not, and also found out if he needed challenges and steps ahead, or encouragement and many repetitions.
I'm off to make dinner!
