Friday w the kids

 

 

Day-care were closed today so I took the chance of having a fun day with the kids. Especially since I've been away almost all week I had some time to catch up on.
Changed tires on our car first thing in the morning. Then we played and climbed trees with Alma and Alvin and their dad on the playground close to home until we couldn't feel out fingers anymore. Then I took all the kids with me home and prepared lunch for us all. In the afternoon we went to family Jakobsson's ranch where we spent time with the horses and in the stable. We made homemade pizza together that evening before.ee went home and welcomed Santa Claus..

Stockholm

Last days of my long management education I've done these last months in Stockholm. Extremely good and inspiring course that have given me so much knowledge. I was proud to receive the diploma before heading home. I also got to enjoy the snow before anyone else in the family! That was something Kevin found very unfair!

Our boys

Our wonderful boys!!

Oranges

What do you do to try and keep cold, flu and other decease away this winter? We try to eat fruits and berries in any way possible. And be outdoor even if the weather isn't at its best all the time.

I'm to Stockholm again for the last couple of days on my management course. Fantastic opportunity to get such an expensive and highly ranked education by the company you work for. Let's just hope our new owners will keep me on-board in the organisation as well. Otherwise the course will spice up my CV!

Big changes coming this way

Daniel had to work this Sunday so the rest of the family went to the bakery first thing in the morning to pick up freshly baked bread rolls which we brought to grandma and Klasens place. This is where we hanged around most of this rainy and grey day. But since we simply love being outdoor we had to challenge the weather by walking to the favourite playground in the Furulund forest. Grandma made hot chocolate, egg and sandwiches for us to eat while away. And as long we you’re dressed for the weather there’s never anything wrong with the weather and we enjoyed ourselves.

But that evening when putting the kids to bed I promised myself to make changes to Oliver’s lifestyle. It’s ok that he hasn’t got the same need for sleep as the rest of the family, but the more I read about the symptoms he has, the more I realize that we can only blame ourselves. Even if I would never put a child on some stupid diet, I’m strongly considering removing sugar and sweets……. Keeping the blood sugar at a constant level is good for everyone. And if you’re extra sensitive to fast changes of you blood sugar level it can give exactly the symptoms Oliver is showing.

Part of Daniels birthday gift

As part of Daniels birthday gift that he got on his birthday this Wednesday was a surprise evening. He was guessing and guessing but I manage to not say anything. And then Mr and Mrs Bendtsen arrived for wine and cheese as part of the surprise. So far so good, every good ingredient for a nice evening. But then someone generously started to share details of what was to come. Oh well, not much you can do about talkative friends, is it!! Greek dining and 007 at the movies together with Ann and Tobbe gave a very successful evening and Daniel was a tired and happy man when we got home!
The kids had dinner at Persson's place and then back to our place baking gingerbread with Sofie and Richard!
Thanks to everyone involved who made this evening possible for us!

Late birthday present

Better later then never! We gave Håkan a chance to try 4WD off road when we turned 40. Today he finally got around and did it. Unfortunately we couldn't see him in action live. But they came around and showed us all the pictures afterwards which was very nice. They even had nice dinner with them. We then went don't to the river and exercised both dog, kids and adults! Fantastic evening. And we're happy that Håkan was pleased with the new experience.

Cozy Friday

There's normally not much energy left on a Friday, but it makes it more fun to be tired together with great friends. Taco, wine, beer and beanie bags = a very nice Friday! Thanks folks!

Normal day at the Berg's

A normal day at the Berg´s place!!

One thing led to another

Today started with kids gymnastic at the gym followed by Combat. Perfect way to start a weekend. After lunch we biked to Lena and Håkan to finish a jewellery Lena had started. But one thing led to the other and we finally ordered take away together and had a great evening.

Mum in Spain

Mum has been working in Spain most of the week. Running shoes was in the suitcase but got sick with bad cold and fever. So just as well she was away to recover.
The rest of the family have had a good week. With great help from all grandma's and grandpa's who has picked up the kids and had dinner ready for when dad got home from work. Not that he's incapable of cooking dinner, but it's so much easier since there's so many other things to take care of when being alone with two kids.
The picture was from my walk to the office in Spain!

Calm Sunday

Prepared today's stew already before 8am....then breakfast. Spend some time outdoor while Daniel went to the recycling station. Then lunch with dearest family Bendtsen. Who also helped us get our new wireless 4G to work, but without success.
Then Kevin came home from Malmo where he'd been to theatre with grandma.
Rounded of another good weekend with dinner in Furulund.

Happy birthday grandma!

Another day filled with fun and mum. Freshly baked scones where everybody helped out. Fantastic feeling when you get both boys to work together. The result was a breakfast everybody liked!
Then we went to the fun house in Malmö with Isak, Nike and their mum. For almost three hours it was full on trying out everything that was worth trying and doing it over and over again. Kevin really like spending time with Isak. And for the first time I also saw Oliver being gentle when trying to get the cute Nike to play with him. Thanking Vivvi + kids for great idea and nice company today!!

Then we went to celebrate grandmas birthday! We sang, gave her presents, ate cake and played for a while. The we went to family Ericsson for a cosy Friday with homemade pizza and always appreciated reunion with Ulla and Hasse that we always stay with when in Västervik.
