Happy Mothers Day and the Eurovison

So almost 2 weeks away from blogging, can you believe one third of May has all ready gone! 
Well happy mothers day to all mothers out there. Jonas had made a mothers day gift for me at daycare, it was all wrapped when Frank picked him up on Friday, but since I was closing and not home until after bedtime, well I guess the wait was too long, and he unwrapped it for me:)
A little candlelight holder, and I love the card, which I think I will use as a bookmark. Today Jonas and I spent the day in Legoland.

 Frank had some work to catch up on, and Jonas and I needed to go to Legoland once more before our vacation, because if you come 3 times before June 1st you will get a free ticket for a friend. 

Last night we were watching the Eurovision, it was a bit exciting, since Denmark was hosting the show. Last time we hosted it was in 2001, back then the hosts kept rhyming, which was a bit embarrassing. This year... well they weren't rhyming, but they tried to be funny, making a song etc. and well again they failed. I honestly don't think we are capable of hosting such a big event.

My favorite song was the Netherlands, but unfortunately it only got 2nd place. I'm not sure what to think about the winner Conchita Wurst, the bearded lady. She/he sang very well, it was a good song, but I can't help thinking if she/he would have won if she didn't have a beard, and if it had "just" been a beautiful lady singing. Anyways congratulations to Conchita, and I hope Austria will be a better job hosting the Eurovision next year.
We ended up watching the Eurovision on a smaller channel, the main channel was showing it as usual, but their sister channel was showing it as well, and the commentators were 2 guys who has their own radio show. They are hilarious, and all their comments just made us laugh. They had been given a set of rules where they weren't allowed to talk politics, they weren't allowed to talk about their favorite etc. Well they broke a few rules, but hey they said what we all were thinking... who wouldn't comment on Ukraine and Russia given each other point?

Well hope you all had a great weekend.

Eurovision

So yesterday was the Eurovision. For the last couple of weeks it's been all over the media that the bookmakers loved the Danish song from Emmelie De Forest "Only Teardrops". Honestly that felt like Dejavu, I can't count the times that we heard that the bookmakers loves the Danish entry. 

But this time they were right... Denmark won. They were announced the winner even before the point from the last 3 countries were given... Ahead of time I thought the song was pretty good, and while listening to the other songs I felt we had a pretty good chance, but then again I had heard the Danish song so many times that I thought maybe that was why I liked it more that the others.


So next year the Eurovision will be held in Denmark (I'm hoping for Herning, instead of Copenhagen) and I am so much going to be there!

Congratulations to Emmelie De Forest, only 20 years old and the winner of the Eurovision 2013.
