Santa

After a family day in Halmstad Santa was knocking on the door just before dinner to check up on the kids that they were behaving as should and to deliver a calendar each to help Kevin and Oliver to count down to Xmas!
Oliver kept wondering how extremely alike Santa was grandma.....

Busy but very good Sunday

 

 

Finally got our boat up for a clean up and preparation for its winter storage. Great help from kids and always so helpful Göte.
Then kids were  fortunate to be able to stay with Lena and Håkan where they got to relax in the spa and play with their gorgeous dogs Felix and Saga.
In the meantime Daniel worked hard with the boat while I had 3 classes GRIT  during the members-event at the gym. Later we all met up at grandma and Klasens place for a delicious turkey dinner with apple-pie for desert. Tonight wasn't an exception from super delicious tasting food. Problem is that you eat to much.
When I got home my dear friend had returned the Halloween clothes she borrowed yesterday. Imagine what a little card with a very nice note on from a dear friend can make me feel very lucky to know she feel the same way as I do for her. What a love story!!

Support

 

Finally Oliver have found a sport he's very enthusiastic about; wrestling. And Kevin have left his soccer completely for bandy.
Even if all our Tuesdays and Thursdays is driving Oliver to practice,  stay and support him a little while, drive Kevin to his practice, stay and cheer for him, then back to pick up Oliver and then back to pick up Oliver, it's such a blessing to be able to be there for your kids and support your children in there sport interests. What can be more important?  No matter if you feel like a chauffeur and stressing home from work so they can be served some energy before training,  we see it as an important task that we can't downprioritise for anything.  The little late dinner those nights where you get to sit down and chat about their training is priceless.

Candle dip

 

 

Kevins and Olivers grandma came up with the great idea of enrolling to a candlelight-making half day course at Hallongården. This Sunday it was time to make our own candles. And so we did!  What a pleasant half day in wonderful atmosphere.  And with a whole box of candle lights with me home. Enough to have light all Christmas.

Free isn't always best

  

We got a boat trailer free of charge from Daniels colleague which we were very happy and pleased of. ..until today when it was time to take up the boat. The trailer didn't match our boat and we couldn't get it up!
When you involve grandparents to take care of our kids and you spend almost a whole day not getting anything done you quickly want to forget that day. Today was that day!
But at least or kids had a good day together with grandma.

Autumn day with mum

 

Biscuits and milk packed in our backpack when we went with our bikes for a ride towards the countryside. Ended up at Jakobsson's ranch! Had picnic in the stables. Mariette said her two ponies were free today and we were welcome to take them out for a ride. The boys said yes, so that's what we did. Two wonderful ponies, two happy boys (one singing higher than the other) and one smiling mother in between for an hours ride this fantastic autumn day! Sometimes life with two energetic kids are the worst possible I can imagine, but luckily in between there's moments like this!

First egg

Our first own egg from our own hen!! Hopefully the egg production is now started and that even the others will be triggered to start producing.

 

Nail polish of Fathers day

Pedicure and nail polish is Oliver's passion! Hmmm.... Daniel is not that very proud, but Oliver is and that's what counts!
Woke grandma and Klasen up with fresh breadrolls this morning. Had a nice Sunday morning breakfast together before heading home to clean our garden a little more before winter. But with help from all family members you get lots done in few hours.

Last trip in our boat this year?

Quality time with Oliver while Kevin has creative with grandma and her glass-production.
Unfortunately our fishing didn't fill our freezer with nice fish. Better luck next time!

In the dark

Really just wanted to go to bed after dinner on Saturday, but kids had energy left over and it was a dark but clear evening. So we decided to go on a ghost hunt together. Kevins friend also came along. We were out for hours. Pit-stop at grandma and Klasens place for drinks and gingerbread before heading back home. You would think everyone including the kids would fall sound a sleep after such evening event. But ooh noooo....... never ending energy bucket in our kids!!!
