Posted by Camilla on June 11th, 2016 filed in SwedenContinuation of the bulk update 😀
Day 2605
Lazy wakeup in the morning, did not hear anyone leave in the morning…either I was sleeping hard or they were very quiet! Enjoyed the sun on the balcony most of the day then went to pick up Cloe from kindergarten.
Made dinner for the girls, meatballs and pasta…yummy!
Gunnar came to pick up Ella to get to Orientering training. A friend of Nova´s mom came to take her to the Sea Scouts. Cloe stayed with me we played some games and then it was time to put her to bed, she read some for me, and I must say for her age she is a great reader! Gunnar brought Ella home, while Cloe was reading for me, and then he left to pick up Nova. Ella got to read some for me, she was reading to me when Gunnar brought Nova home so he asked if that was all we were doing LOL Yep reading runs in the family 😀 Lina and Jake came home from their anniversary dinner loaded with packages for Cloe. Chatted for a while and then it was time for bed…getting up early tomorrow!!
Day 2606
Early wakeup!! Had to do Cloe´s Birthday celebration before Jake had to go to work. Cloe turned 6 years old today 😀 There was singing and lots of Presents! Lounged around the house, packed my stuff since I was going to go to Mom´s house when I got back from Monica´s. Lina came home first so we sat on the terrace for a while enjoying her new parasol! Yeah it was sort of hot 😀
Everyone else came home from school and work, I got Mom and Gunnar´s car and drove off to Nyköping to celebrate Monica, who turned 50 today, WoooHoooo!!
Went to the store with Monica to get stuff to make Tunnbrödrulle!! Yeah so it is a Hot Dog rolled in thin bread with mashed potates (except I do french fries instead) and shrimp salad…Yummylicious!!
Spent the evening chatting with Monica and Mr P, got to see a gorgeous sunset then off to bed!
Day 2607
Got up and had breakfast with Monica and Mr P. Monica was really alert and happy, we went to pick up her birthday present! She got an electric bike! Awesomeness, she won´t have to call a hospital cab to get to the store she can get on her little bike and go on her own 😀 She was giddy like a little kid! Mr P rode the bike through the city and then Monica rode it the rest of the way to their house!
Prepared the house for the party, got the tables out and cleaned all the pollen off the BBQ grill, yep that is part of summer in Sweden! Started the afternoon in a dress then had to change into pants it got so cold! That is also part of Swedish summer! Towards the end we kept moving the tables to chase the sun LOL Mr P prepared BBQ Hamburgers for us all yummy!!!
Party Girl who came for a visit 😀
Had some good conversations, got to see a lot of people I had not seen in a long time, AnnLo, Maj-Lis, Lotta, and more! Lots of fun and Monica was well enough to participate throughout the event! After everyone left, Monica, Mr P and I sat chatting for a while then it was off to bed!
Day 2608
Spent the morning with Monica then it was time to head back home to return the car. Stopped by my cousin Christer´s house to help him get car service for when he arrives in Sweden on the 12th. In return I got some homemade Kanellbullar, Toscakaka, and sockerkaka…yummylicious!!
Came home to Mom´s had some Dinner watched a bit of TV while working and updating the blog then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2609
Got up in the morning and got ready to go with Sanna and Thomas to see Pappa (Dad) Tommy. Met up with Therese our little sister on Tommy´s side. It was a nice day, not too warm and not too cold. Dad had made a Chicken Ceasar Pie yummy! For dessert he and Berit had made a rhubard and strawberry pie, I skipped dessert since lunch had been so scrumptious 😀
Fell asleep in the car on our way back home, woke up in time to stop by the store to get some Coke 😀 Lina brought Cloe over since I was taking her to the photgrapher the morning after.
Mom put Cloe to bed while I was working, then it was time for bed for me too since I had to get up fairly early to get to the photo session for Cloe…our little model!
Day 2610
Up in the am, Gunnar drove Cloe and me to Photographer. My mom took public transportation to go to the hospital for her surgery. Cloe had an awesome photo shoot, the photographer put some hair lengther on her so she ended up with this really long side pony tail…so pretty!! When we were done we walked over to my sisters house. I spent the day with Cloe, we played some games and had some lunch. Cloe had some Chicken noodles and I had Thai noodles…yummylicious!
When Lina, Jake, and the girls came home they all got ready to head out to Tuesday orientering training…yeah it´s one of those things LOL Sat and played some games whole they were away. Got a message from mom her surgery went well. Everyone came back and then it was time to go to bed since I was going to have Cloe in the morning, and I did not want a repeat performance of last year…when Cloe was too afraid to wake me up and by the time I get up I hear a little voice from the couch asking “Do you know where my dad is?” yeah worst Aunt Ever that is me!!
Day 2611
Got up before Cloe…Phew!! Had some breakfast with Cloe then we started playing Ubongo, that was fun. After that it was “Plocke Pinn” I have no clue what that is called in English! After that I gave her a Very nutritious lunch…uhh maybe not…Hot Dogs with Cheese curls and then after some Cinnamon Buns 😀 She was happy about it though…I did make sure to let Lina know this is what I fed her daughter so she heard it from me instead of Cloe LOL
Later in the afternoon my cousin Nina came to pick me up and we headed off to go into Stockholm City. When we parked the car we were walking around to find somewhere to get a parking ticket, I see this guy sitting in the sun and I say to myself I know that guy…well it was Eje 😀 chatted with him for awhile he was going to come meet up with us later at Peppar, the restaurant where I was meeting Ancha and Bosse. Nina and I headed off to a cafe close to Peppar, we had some good conversation and then all of a sudden it was time for me to go next doors! Nina headed back to Nyköping and I went to sit with Ancha and Bosse outside…after about 5 min I was ready to go inside LOL yeah it was cold!! Eje joined us and we had some dinner and drinks with lots of fun conversations!!
Took a cab home, Lina was over at mom´s she had brought my bags and some dresses for the girls for end of school ceremony. Mom seemed ok after her surgery…but then again she is on morphin so I guess we will see how it turns out once she is off those! I was too tired to work so I went straight to bed (almost fell asleep on the couch)!
Day 2612
Up in the am and had breakfast with mom, she had gotten up earlier to say Happy Birthday to Gunnar since it was his birthday! Took walk with mom after breakfast, did some work and got caught up on FB. Had some marinated herring for lunch with mom…I know sounds yummy right! LOL Started the very timed orchestration of picking up the girls! No 1 was Cloe at 1:40 in Kindergarten, then it was time to get Ella at 1:50 at school then Nova at 2 luckily in the same school 😀 We all went over to mom´s and we started to get their hair ready for the end of school ceremony.
Gunnar made swedish pancakes for breakfast, yummy! After that it was time to finish getting the girls into their new dresses and off to the ceremony, they had to be there a little earlier than us. Once we got there it was packed with people. It was very cute, the kids did some songs…and of course the one that had Ella in it was best!
We ended up not going to the pic nic after the ceremony, mom was tired and my head was tired because of all the people LMAO!!
Back home did some work, watched the finale of Swedish Biggest Loser…yeah my mom likes it LOL then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2613
This is an addition since my little sister let me know I missed a day! Seems I missed a save in my edits! Well here we go 😀
Had breakfast with mom then we walked out to meet Nova, she had no school today so she came to spend the day with us 😀 Met her in the park towards where my other sister lives, she came swoshing in on her bike 😀 Walked back to mom´s. Played a question game called A-Ö…lots of fun and I do admit some stuff I had to reply in English since I no longer remember the Swedish words LOL Of course Nova beat us, apparently she is a whiz at this game 😀 Had some lunch, I made omellettes for Mom, Gunnar, and me, Nova preferred to eat some yoghurt 😀
Spent the afternoon working, Gunnar took Nova to work out and Mom was resting 😀 Dinner was Pasta Bolognese, Nova opted for meat balls…so she is a little picky with food, wonder where she gets that from LOL After dinner Gunnar rode his boke with Nova home.
Cool girl I spent the day with!
Turned out Nova forgot her hairbrush…apparently she has a tendency to forget stuff and easily gets distracted, hmmm maybe she gets that from the same person LMAO!!!
Finished the evening working then it was time to head to bed!
Day 2614
Up in the am to get ready for family picnic! I do have to admit I am not too fond of these early mornings LOL Went to Hågelby park to meet up with the Family it was gorgeous! the weather was not too kind to us but we did get some rays of sunshine that warmed us up a bit in between the cold spells 😀
Sanna´s Boys (Thomas is missing he got into another collage 😀 )
Linas Family
Mattias Family
Mom and Gunnar with Family!
I played Kubb with my newphews (Patrik & Andreas) on one team and my sister Sanna, my niece Ella and I on the other…we were joined by Cloe too a little later in the game! We were close to winning but then Patrik took his jacket off and got serious so they ended up winning 😀 Then it was time for Birthday cake and coffee…yummy 😀 After all we were all there to celebrate the June kids birthdays, Gunnar, Patrik, Andreas, and Cloe…much fun 😀
Got back to my moms for some well deserved rest 😀 Finished up the evening booking a hotel at the airport for tomorrow, that way I don´t have to get up as early since I will be a 5-min walk from the terminal 😀 Booked car pickup for when I land on Monday…think I am all set. Now all we can hope is that the SAS strike will not affect inter continental flights…if that becomes the case I may be stuck here for a while! Now it is time to wrap up!
LOTSA LOVE!!!
