It is my birthday!!! Not that we celebrate it in grand style (but we should). But still it is my birthday! I’ll celebrate, cause I am happy to be alive!
Spring vacation
I am thinking that we should go here for a late spring vacation. The kids want to go to Legoland, maybe we could do both. I can already see the fantastic pics of Italy that I will take.
Slowly starting Christmas
Looked up some Christmas tunes on Spotify. Apparently I had done that already last year. Just some updating and now we are playing. I guess Tobias’ gonna kill me before 1 December. But it is all worth it. Other than that I really just want to go away on a shorter vacation with my camera….
Pics
Found these on the desktop, better publish them so I can throw them away with a good conscience.
Autumn sun
The day passed without me getting the things done that I planned! What a surprise – not. After a play date for Sam, I took the boys and the dog to a the beach for a picnic – it is so good when you can enjoy yourself with no much. Tonight there is some serious…
Promise
If you are a good friend of mine that got some pictures taken of your kids the other week (or so) I promise you will get to see them all before the weekend is over. It is a promise.
Memory lane
I am quite the nostalgic, I take regular strolls down memory lane. One way to do it is by going on to You Tube and looking for songs from the past. Yesterday I found some from this (maybe not the first boy band if you count Beatles into boy bands) boy band, but sure an…
Reflections
I dare to say that it is all Swedish bloggers darn obligation to comment to the swedish election. And so will I, even it was some time ago ( September 19). Since we couldn’t tell until the Thursday after wether the sitting government would get own majority in the parliament or not it was, it was…
Louise is bad
And before you take that thought any further. The comment is just a remark that I am really bad at blogging at the time. It is not gonna be now either since “The good wife” is on. Talk to you another day.
Pictures
It has been a while since I posted any pictures here. Today I realized that taking pictures for business, makes me take fewer personal ones. Gotta change that! Here are some of my darlings (who right now is sleeping on the sofa). Back in my days, we did not get to start with instruments (I…
A historic day
Today has become a day that will go to the history books. Today, was the day when flour was taken our from the pantry TWICE IN A DAY. First for scones and later for pancakes.
Done
If so 2 minutes late. But the kitchen is at least clean.
Boring
Why on earth is cleaning after dinners so freaking boring. When the man is at work I always get stuck in front of the computer rather than putting away the dishes. In exactly 10 min they boys and mine “Fredagsmys” (Cosy Friday) starts (movie and popcorn) and the kitchen must be spotless…. so, why do…
Weekend!
Yeah! The weekend is here. Tonight I will do some business planning with my friend, lets see how we can get our businesses to grow? Next week will be fun, lots of things on the work agenda, even got to take a two-day course in rhetorics – finally. Hopefully I will become better at get…
Tired
Amazing what a party can do to an old body! Can not remember when I was this tired before. Ok, put it in denial for some more hours and then try to get in bed in a decent time… Both tasks are rather hard for me to follow.
Choices, choices
Had a slow Sunday, at least mentally after last nights bike party. A bike party is a party where you and your partner go by bike to a number of homes in the neighbourhood. Starters at one, main course at the other and desserts at a third. One of the dishes you have at your…
Why, oh why
Do some people have the need to find the closest parking lot to the supermarket entrance. Yes, I understand if they are disabled, but there are special spaces for these. But a fully (at least physical) couple… I do not get it, USE YOUR FREAKING LEGS! They are working still. And that is all I…
Oh, what a night
This afternoon/evening just disappeared. Parent-teacher meeting, where I found out that the oldest had gotten detention (= staying in the class room parts of the break due to mouth diarrhea…). Since the man is working I had the kids at a friend down the street. Picking them up again at quarter to nine, with the…
What is wrong with people?!
Watching the quality show “Half a ton teen”. It is amazing how stupid some people are. Or maybe it is unfair to call them stupid. But they live in such a denial, they live in such denial they don’t even see themselves. I have a hard time blaming the kids, they are a product of…
So much new
Not to mention that I need to cope with fact that Vox was closing. I now need to learn a new blog platform/tool. I sneak peek on my old Vox neighbours pages and understand I can do a lot. The question is how.
Maybe just one more
A while back the man and myself decided that two was enough. We got two healthy, wonderful BOYS (they are really in every sense, whatever it means, BOYS). But whenever watching these delivery shows; uhhh, gets me thinking. Me, not the Mr, if we shouldn't get ourselves another one anyway. I mean, we are a…
A good day
I am constantly reminding myself to cherish the good times. Today was one. Although the memory of the last pat of Tummen can bring a tear to my eye, I had new moments to put in my goodie-bag. Today I went both to the hair dresser’s and to beauty parlor. Since it is my day…
Bye bye
Today we did the thing we have been dreading since spring. We put down Tummen. Our beloved Ridgeback who's been part of this family for over 10 years. Tummen was a handsome male with authority and a coolness I never seen at another dog. But 12 years of age took a natural turn. His hips…

Back
Haven't been on here for a while. Haven't emptied my camera either for a while. There might be the connection between these two facts. Here are some pics from Sam's first day as a first grader. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
What a feeling
Yesterday I did the last editing for some pictures I had taken for a friend/customer. It is great when the pics turn up even better than you expect them to. The feeling is indescribable At the moment I have been quite passive when it comes to taken pictures for my self. Sam's first day at…
Common patterns
Two weeks after the boys are back at daycare/school, it hits (as usual). Hard and decisive – the cold. I got it and feel so so. Poor little me. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Superficial
I know it is superficial and low to be wanting things. Especial when the things you want is not good health, world peace, stopping poverty and happy lives for all. But I really want a new LED TV 40-42 inch one. Our old TV is a slim model but most definitely one of the absolute…
Tired
Gee, I am tired. I spent 3,5 hours at the public adventure pool with da boyz today.We went there with some friends. Great time. Good when you are active. But my sons are.. adventurous, not that much of the reflecting kind. Just do it and get done with it. This is a bad combination when…
Fullstop Summer
Now it feels very definitive. The summer is over. A few says left of pure laziness and late mornings before the alarm goes off at 05.45 am and the mental persuasion of the morning jog starts. We "ended" it with another trip to an amusement park. This time in Sweden and this time with the…
Training
I am training to become better at taking pics against the light. I am doing progress. Read and post comments | Send to a friend

Back from Ven
Wheat We went to Ven with some good friends. Stayed over night, camping. Not our usual accommodation and even if the comfort was not exceptional (especially since we forgot our pillows) we had an fantastic trip. The boys loved the tenting part and I loved the food, conversations and company. Biking, swimming and relaxing. Best kind of…
Hurray
Today I got my first real order of pics. Hurray for me! It is very important to celebrate these things. Read and post comments | Send to a friend
An evening by the beach
So happy to see mum again, or at least her camera… Me and a friend took our kids for a walk down to the beach in Båstad tonight. Perfect evening for that. It is the Swedish open in tennis now and loads of people. Got some good pic of my darling, back from several days…
Dos and don’ts
Do be happy when your child (or pet or partner or extended family member or whatever) is healthy again. Health is usually too undervalued in our world today. Don't ask any woman if she is expecting. Ever. Doesn't matter how obvious it is. One just do not do it. It doesn't matter how happy the…
Chicken pox da capo
I can't say that we didn't expect it, but it is here now. Fabian is FILLED with chicken pox, and seem to be at least a little worse off than his bigger brother. A warm weekend is coming up… we will not be found on the beach. Read and post comments | Send to a…
Beach (again)
Building Fabian and I went to the beach when Tobias was off to work (by bike (!) 25 k's). Sam got a play date so we got some good one on one time. Building a sand castle, playing tennis and having a fika. Life is good, even if it is the last day of the…

4 years old
No chicken pox Today it was his 4th birthday. We celebrated with morning cake, birthday presents (Lego, Nintendo DS, kick-bike, clothes and more Lego) and NO chicken pox (yet). Read and post comments | Send to a friend
Miniature golf
Today was the season, and for some members of the family, life-time premiere for miniature golfing. Fabian was retuning the club and ball after three holes but Sam, with some helping hands, made it through them all. I am quite impressed that he managed to keep his spirit up. He has a really hard time…
Entré chickenpox
On the holiest of all days, chickenpox entered the family. We grown-ups have had it but none of the boys. But in Sam's class I think every kid who haven't had it before got it this spring and summer. An epidemic in other words. Midsummer Eve's morning Tobias called me and there they were lots…

Life is good
Pippi Longstocking I just had two great days with the greatest people in my life. The family went to the World of Astrid Lindgren. In a very humble way and most probably very far off the extravaganza that might come with other amusements-parks (therefore in a very Swedish way), my kids (and me and the…
