The garden shed project

Today we got most of the roof in place on our shed. Thanks to Jakob-the-handy-man! Because the summer never seems to get here and the rain keeps pouring down, we took the chance of this fairly clear Sunday to get the roof waterproof so that we can then keep building the rest without being nervous about the wood getting wet and destroyed. Jakob and his wonderful wife Lina and 6 month old son Matheus came around 9am for breakfast. Then the boys built the roof in a couple of hours before we enjoyed lunch together.

In the afternoon some other friends came around; Jane and Håkan with their two kids. The kids ran, played, and jumped for some time before we had dinner together. I used my herbs from the garden for the first time this season; tarragon, thyme, garlic and water as a bed for the roast which I left in the oven for a little more then an hour. The roast together with potatoes, sauce and lingon berries became a wonderful dinner. The kids ate like I've never seen before!
What herbs do you use for your cooking at home? Any nice suggestions are warmly welcome - I need some inspiration!

Rainy Thursday

OK, we like to bake in our family but it's accually the rain outside that never seems to wanna stop that makes us bake once again this week. This time it was time for a mud-cake. And we got it out just in time to still get the middle of the cake really muddy. JAM!! Still warm cake and ice-cream - not much that beat that as a evening snack!

Rainy Tuesday

Dad is out of bread, so this rainy Tuesday was spent baking bread with Kevin. He loves to bake and help out in the kitchen. The smell of these newly baked bread is just wonderful We couldn't help ourselves but to have a slice with butter and cheese before going to bed.

Day trip to Rövarkulan

Today I and Kevin meet up by day-care to join up with the rest of Kevin’s friends and parents and a big bus to go on a day trip together to Rövarkulan. It was all very exciting to do something else but hanging around day-care. Just going by bus is a big thing for the little fellows! And Rövarkulan turned out to be a very nice little place where kids can play around in a little water stream and long tables where we could enjoy our pick-nick. It was a beautiful day and we had a great morning together!


This is the corner of the garden where the garden shed will be placed!

The garden shed project

Another project is started! Yes, I know we’re hopeless at enjoying life without projects. And No, we’re not scared of not having anything to do and spend our money on. I know it seems like it, but I keep telling myself it’s not that way.
This project has been in the air for a while, and after a visit from NZ the decision is made to use the garage for my new business which I’ll tell you about later. So since the garage in week or two will be occupied with something else, we thought we better get the garden shed we’ve been talking about for so long built. So here we are, again, in the middle of a big project! And again our dear friend Chrille is here to help. He’s great and always helpful and Chille, I hope we make it clear how much we appreciate you and your helpfulness. Even if it costs a couple of beers every time you’re around, it’s definitely worth it. :o)

Working from home

I’m working from home today since I went to check the condition of the baby in the morning. Everything was fine except that its position with head up when it should at this time be positioned with head down. But no stress, it still has plenty of time to find the exit!
On my way home I went by the local market and bought some fresh fruits and vegetables. Always looks so nice in the kitchen with new fresh fruits!
And as always in the afternoons Daniel and Kevin goes wild on the trampoline!
