Some instagram pictures from the picnic we had after the relay race yesterday. The weather did turn out great, so it was very nice evening. The run went alright as well!

God morning! This morning I woke up to the rain pouring down outside our windows. We’re entering a running competition (a relay race) tonight, with a planned picnic afterwards. Oh, I cross my fingers that the weather will be better tonight, the forecast sais so at least.

This cabined holds most of our crafting material and stuff.

This weekend we’ve been quite busy, but with a lot of fun stuff. We’ve gone swimming twice, the girls have participated in a bicycle race and, the thing I’m perhaps most pleased about: we’ve been cycling a lot around town to these different events. I really like it that we, using our chariot carrier and a kids seat behind my bike, now can transport the entire family without the need for neither a car nor public transportation. Of course, I have nothing against public transportation, but using bicycles just feels much more flexible. I predict that this summer we’ll use our bikes a lot!

Tada! The new living room table. After having searched all over for the perfect table (including having decided upon both a black loop stand table from Hay and the white Ikea Norden table at different occasions) we decided to go for a really cheap and flexible solution. Two Melltorp tables put together. And we can make them into one long table as well, when we’re having guests over. I still think black would be nicer but we could always paint it…

I couldn’t resist getting one of those Råskog kitchen carts as well - don’t know what to use it for really, but I just think they’re really cool. Thinking of Ellis we’ll probably have to start out with storing toys in it. Eowyn and Ellis helped out putting it together, as you can see. :)

I’ve been busy lately so there’s not been much action here. We’ve been spending a lot of time outside. Spring is finally here, for real. Today we’ve bought a new table (or actually two new tables) for our living room. But that I’ll have to show you later.

Some inspiration from Fantastic Frank. I love the kitchen, and of course the black loop stand table (which we’ve been thinking of getting for our living room for a while now).

Have a nice friday!

Our new balcony-floor is in place and Ellis and Curry are inspecting the result. I think it turned out great! Now we’re planning how to decorate the place. It’s tiny so there isn’t much room for anything really (just 1*2 meters). I think we’ll go for mostly plants. Not that we’re particularly good at keeping plants alive but last summer we actually had quite a lot of plants out there. Perhaps I’m growing green fingers?

Today we've been planting spring flowers.

We've also done some much needed spring cleaning.

An Easter Santa, an Easter witch (is that what you call it in English?) and an Ellis.

New Ikea boxes.

Today we’ve done some much needed spring cleaning around here. We’ve also planted some spring flowers. And we’ve made plans both for our little summer cabin and for our balcony. We need a new balcony floor and we’ve decided upon Bergo floor tiles. I think it will look nice and be much more practical than our existing wooden floor (which can’t be lifted easily so we can’t clean underneath it nor pick up things that we’ve dropped through the tiles).

Oh, and Ester dressed up as Santa for Easter. In case you were wondering.

Going through photos. This is Ellis, in november, almost 5 months old. He grows so fast.

Having a nine month old baby crawling around the house can sometimes result in a need for reshuffling. A table in front of the sofa isn’t really that practical, now is it? Much better to have a whole carpet full of free space.

The last week have been really sunny and nice here in Gothenburg. So who cares if it’s still pretty damn cold, and that we are ill for what feels like the 11th time this looooong winter?.. Not me. Really. Happy Easter!

Boxes boxes boxes, can you ever have too many? I like the new ones from Ikea.

Check out the home of Nanna, from Så fint jag vill over at Lovely life. Relaxed, fun and creative. I really like this kind of small(ish) apartments so much more than big, airy houses (or flats for that matter).

The sun is shining over Hundfjället.

To happy little skiers!

Home sweet home - unmatched sheets and our sixth family member, who probably missed us only a little bit.

Tintin, babushkas and books in Ellis' room.

What are you serving me, mum?!..

We’re back home after a ski-trip up north. Every time I come back home after being away on holiday or a trip I realize again how much I love our apartment (even when it’s sort of a mess, like above). It feels really great to have such a nice place to come home to.

Now we’re sooo ready for spring. How about you?

A tiger, who likes lego.

Ellis and the rude tiger.

Ellis has gotten a crib in his room. He don't use it much though....

...except when his sisters build him a cabin.

Here’s a little bit of what we’ve been up to the week that just past. Happy first day of spring!

On Instagram lately: A very happy Ellis can now move around and stand up (given something to hold on to). And the notice board in the kitchen has gotten a bunch of new photos. Most of them from Instagram (I use Printstagram).
