ruffie

Combat + Ruffie = completely exhausted and very happy!!
The smaller boys spend the day with grandma and Klasen. Daniel and I survived two tough training sessions. Thanks grandma and Klasen for making this possible. We appreciate it very much.
Made dinner which tasted very nice. Family Axelsson joined us and it was full action for the kids and very nice to see you all again.

An active day

Because the weather was to cold, wet and unpredictable we cancelled our trip to Copenhagen Tivoli for other activities. Cinema "Sune i Grekland" where one of us had to leave with Oliver in the middle of the movie after chasing him around and asking him to be quiet and sit still. Impossible so he had to wait outside. Lunch in Lund before heading to Eslöv adventure pools where the kids had a blast. After sauna and shower we rounded of the day with Pappis restaurant. We all slept very well after a successful and great day with very pleasant friends. Thank God for getting to know family Bendtsen! Love their company!

Another rainy day

Brought fresh bread rolls for breakfast to the Perssons where Kevin had spent the night. Unfortunately he threw up in the middle of the night. Pore Lena and Håkan had to change linen and start the washing machine. So he was tired but felt fine when he woke up. After breakfast we borrowed Felix and went to the playground in Furulund. But it didn't last long as Felix hunted every child on the gondola and wasn't willing to follow instructions. Plus Kevin was very thirsty so we went back soon again.
Had a nice afternoon together before Oliver finally got someone who wanted to have him over night. Thank God for Johanna!!
When he went to spend the night with Johanna the rest of us went to family Hansson for a very nice dinner and night.

Happy Birthday Lena

Today we sang and celebrated Lena who turned 54 years old! Very nice dinner and always lots of play and fun for the kids. So fun that Kevin wanted to stay the night which was ok for Lena and Håkan. So we said goodnight to Kevin and biked home with only Oliver. Promised to come with fresh bread rolls from the bakery tomorrow morning.
Thank you for everything tonight & Happy Birthday!!!

Xmas 2012

Fantastic Xmas with family!!

One piece day with left overs

Day after Xmas turned out to be as grey as a grey day can be. But just as good as it was ok to check out all the Xmas gifts and play with it.
Had a one-piece-lunch where we tried to eat the left overs from yesterday. Impossible!
When it was pitch black outside we went out so the boys could try their headlights. Worked really well and they had great fun.

Ruffie

Ruffie with FysGruppen is da shit! Better physical training is hard to get. We love it! This is the winning team that gathered today and fighted together like it was the last thing we'd ever do. Fantastic!
Thanks to Malin and Andreas for being inspired and good instructors!

Busfabriken with grandma and grandpa

Another round to the playhouse Busfabriken. This time in Malmö together with grandma and grandpa. And I'm happy to see my boys having just as fun as I always also had in places like this. Here they can climb, run and jump as much as they want. Just look at the height Kevin has when jumping on the trampoline.

Japanese

When the kids are enjoying themselves in Malmö with grandma and grandpa and we'd completed our entire workout and Daniel had slept for 2 hours after the night shift, we decided to dine out for once. First we couldn't make up our mind to have fondue or Japanese. But I made the decision for Japanese and it turned out to be a success. I got my favourite sushi and Daniel tried a fantastic red curry chicken dish. Can recommend Tabemono in Lund!

Xmas flowers

Today we got two fantastic Xmas flower creations delivered. One was from my boss with a lovely written card about the past year which made me very pleased to read. And one was from my bonus grandparents Laila and Kenneth (Klasens parents) that we visited today and the kids got the awaited biscuits with allot of butter on! Only Laila and Kenneth know how to serve biscuits with butter in a way the kids love!!!!

Busfabriken with Fam Ericsson

First day on my Xmas holiday. Went to the playhouse Busfabriken in Helsingborg today with family Ericsson. It was only us and about 4 other families so the kids felt as if the place was all theirs for four hours. No wonder they had a big smile all the time. They sat still during lunch (just) then they were of again for another couple of hours. Amazing!

Xmas tree in place

Kevin slept at grandma and Klasens place tonight so we went there with Oliver and fresh bread rolls. Enjoyed a nice breakfast with nice company. Then Daniel took the kids to choose the Xmas tree this year while Klasen and I went to Lund to do some shopping. We were not alone!!
Lena and Håkan kidnapped the kids in the afternoon to go to Barsebäck and play on the ice, have picnic and play in the playground. They had a fantastic afternoon and came home with big smiles. Even if they were tired after a fun and intensive day we manage to decorate our xmas tree.

Lucky winner

I never win anything. But today I got this jewellery in the mail with a letter congratulating me for being the lucky winner. Just by liking and sharing on Facebook!! Made my day.
Spontaneous Taco dinner with family Bendtsen rounded of this week in the best possible way.

Second Advent

 

Daniel have been working during the night and got home in the morning. We had breakfast together before I went with the kids to grandpa in Malmo. He took them to the fun house Leos Lekland while I went to the quarterly release of Body Combat. When it was time to drive home a minor snowstorm had arrived and we were very lonely on the roads back home. Our plans of sledding had to be changed to some craft creations indoor.

Xmas dinner w friends

Kevin slept his first night without parents or grandparents!! A night with the scout group all by him self! Together with 9 other kids and two scout leaders they seem to have had a fantastic night together. And it felt very good picking up a smiling boy in the morning. So proud of Kevin!!
Went to the gym for a session of kids gymnastic followed by Body Combat. Great workout!
And the day continued just as good with pancakes at grandma and Klasen!!
Then we went home and made snacks and glögg for dinner tonight with friends. Beautiful dinner with great friends at night. No wonder we fell asleep very easily tonight.

Day-Care visiting the church

This is Kevin's little pack with sandwiches, smoothies, egg and cinnamon buns that he had with him today when they went to the church with day-care. The church is very nice decorated around Xmas and they went there to have a look.
But when I showed Kevin and told him that he could take this to the visit to the church today he said: -OH NOOOOOO......not the church. I hate the church. You have to be silent there!!!!

Advent

  
The first Advent was spent with family Ericsson being creative. The kids loved it (and so did the adults). We rounded of with takeaway.
