Ester likes Pippi and jigsaw-puzzles

Or both at once. 

I’m off to work now. Last but one day before a 2,5 weeks long holiday. Yay!

Making salad

Every Wednesday night we have dinner with five other families who are all our neighbours. We take turns in preparing the meal. Last time it was our turn to make salad and dessert. Eo and Ester made the salad almost all by themselves.

We’ve had a very nice, but busy weekend. On Friday we took the day off and went on a mini vacation; we took the ferry to Denmark and stayed at a water theme park hotel until yesterday. Today, both Eowyn and Ester had their dance classes and in the afternoon we went to a kids play on the theatre. Oh, and on Thursday, Johan and I went to the theatre as well. We saw a really good play with excellent actors. It made me both laugh and cry, which I’d say is most unusual. I’d almost forgotten how much I love the theatre!

Autumn has inspired me to take up knitting again. Especially since both girls are suddenly very eager to wear knitted sweaters. I’m thinking that this vest from pickles looks like something I might be able to pull off.  (image pickles)

Autumn

These pictures are from a couple of weeks ago, and something’s really changed since then. Autumn’s definitely here now, a season I really enjoy. At least before everything turns all grey and dark. Today it’s really chilly outside, but the colors are beautiful.

After a couple of weeks with internet connection problems we’ve finally solved it. So now I can start blogging again. But first, a weekend trip to Manchester, to visit a good friend. And meet up with other good friends. Yay! I’m crossing my fingers that the weather forecast is correct and packs only summer clothes. :) Have a nice weekend!

This morning

Images from our apartment this morning; the Brainy Smurf outside of his little smurf house, a corner of our bedroom - more tidy than usual, pot plants in the window and two tired kids in the sofa watching morning television.

Majorna-dagen

Yesterday was Majorna-dagen here in our neighbourhood, with live music, food and a local fleamarket right outside our house. Ester and I put on our sunglasses and went to have a look. We had hot dogs, listened to cool music and made some nice bargains: children books, a chair (just 10 crowns!), shoes and a very fancy toy-ride. The last one wasn’t really that cheap (200 crowns - probably should have bargained but I’m lousy at it… too polite), but Ester was pleased, as you can see. :-) All in all we spent less than 300 crowns on everything, including the food. A good day!
