`Playdate`with Vendela och Linnea

In the afternoon we went to Jenny´s place. She lives in the other side of the city so Luna rode her bike and I took mine with the bicycle cart with Devin in. I am so proud of Luna, She rode all the way there without complaining! She is really good now to ride the bicycle!

Vendela and Linnea are Jenny´s children. They are really pretty and cute...blond and blue eyes, two swedish princesses! 

Here are some pictures from the afternoon: 

Who has funniest face?! 

Jumping on the trampoline...

Then the girls tried to stand on their head: 

3 and a half years old Linnea got help from Mamma Jenny

Luna´s turn

Vendela´s turn

Then it was dinner time

and then it was jumping time again, this time with `sharks`under the trampoline

Well, the children enjoyed playing together and I enjoyed chitchatting with Jenny.

I am not updating my blog so often because I am out of idea of what to write...

well, yesterday I worked 14 to 18 then went to the supermarket to buy some grill food...we decided to grill in the courtyard with Martin ( brother in law ) and Johan W. 

Then around 21.00 we put the children to bed...and it took 2 hours before they fell asleep!! 

Today I am off from work...I only work 2 days this week. 

This morning Luna played computer and Devin was watching Dora the Explorer

Then we had lunch: chicken rice soup with fried egg and bacon.

Surprise...Smörgåstårta!

We had a little celebration for Anders...

he turns 29 tomorrow so we decided to have "smörgåstårta"  lunch at his office. 

He didn´t know anything about it...it was a surprise!
We were about 10 people and hided in his office...he opened the door and we sang for him...
he was quite´chocked´..it was a successful surprise! 

Here it´s the " Smörgåstårta" I made : 

And here it´s the birthday Boy opening his present...

..a stand up comedy tickets in Stochkolm.

We decided to celebrate him today because tomorrow it´s Midsommer afton and we are going to have a party at KFUM cottage, a place close to the lake 10 minutes outiside Arvika.
Mr. A has rented it for friday and saturday.
There is a beachvolleyball court and sauna...
it´s going to be fun! 

Meaning of Names

I did some research about the meaning of my children´s names. 

Well, Luna is Latin origin, and its meaning is "moon" . 

Mythology: one of the names of Artemis, goddess of the moon. 

Devin is of Irish and Gaelic origin, and its meaning is " bard, poet ". May also possibly mean "young deer". May also come from the French " divin", meaning " divine, perfect". 

Sunny...at the playground

Today I am off from work.

In the afternoon we went to Sågudden´s playground to meet Jaron and Tindra. 

There we also met Jennie, Morgan, Loke and the new born Viking. 

So sweet little boy.

After playground we went home...Micke wanted to have something to eat. He has a role-playing time with his friend this evening. So we had an earlier dinner. Usually we eat dinner at about 7 but today we had dinner at 17.30.

So now the children are having some snacks: ice-cream and yogurt.

My evening plan:

Baby Boy

I just found out that my friend Jennie delivered a little boy yesterday evening...

So happy for them. 

I think Jennie and Morgan decided to call the second born Viking. 

Loke probably is going to be very happy to have a little brother now :)! 

I can´t wait to meet them and their new family member! 

CONGRATULATIONS JENNIE AND MORGAN! 

Love you guys! 

Rollerblades/Bicycle

In the afternoon, we took the children to feed the ducks then Micke and Anders decided to take their rollerblades and I wanted to go with them so I took the bicycle. We went around Arvika for about 10 km. 

It was very tiring ..but it was a very good training! 

I hope I don´t get muscle pain tomorrow! 

It´s delightful beig outiside when it´s sunny :) !

Later in the afternoon, Micke´s uncle,his girlfriend and a friend came to visit us.

Friday evening in Karlstad

Yesterday evening, Micke, Anders and Jenny spent the evening in Karlstad. 

First we had dinner at a Sushi restaurant...we talked and laughed a lot, we had a good time..

But I am not a fan of sushi...I felt a little sick after dinner :( 

After dinner, we went to the cinema to see Sex and the city. 

Not good at all...

so don´t go see it at the cinema! 

Friday

This morning was the last `Communication lesson`...

I am a little sad about it because it was a quite fun and interesting course.

Later this afternoon, Micke, Anders, Jenny and I will go to Karlstad. First to eat Sushi then to the cinema. I think A. reserved tickets to a movie...but I don´t know which one is it! I forgot to ask...

Sofia will babysitt first then Jon will babysitt when he finish working. 

So, have a nice week-end! 

And I hope for a nice weather!! 

Ciao! 

Headache :(

I feel a little strange...maybe I am getting sick :( ; well hope not! 

I have headache and feel tired so I am going straight to bed , I will just lie on my bed and watch`What Happen in Vegas´. But first Micke promised me a 15 minutes massage :) then he will read a book about Role-playing that he got today. He likes playing Role-playing with his friends. 

Well, have a nice evening!

Ciao!  

Hairstyle?!

Jon opened Noiz april last year. He has been hairdresser for many years. 

He is an excellent hairdresser :) and a close family friend so we feel comfortable and always happy about the way he fix our hair!

I think his business is going quite well...he is very busy, he is fully booked every month and not only just by running Noiz but he is having conferences and teaching all over Sweden. 

At Noiz works Hanna also. I heard she is a quite good hairdresser too. 

Do you need a cut or a new hairstyle?! 

This is the number to Noiz 0570-10011

Open 9 to 18 monday to friday 

location: Magasinsgatan 7, Arvika

Website: Noiz.se

Anyway, next week Jon will cut my hair...

I want to cut my hair short again but I don´t really know how! 

Probably Jon is going to decide...he always does because I can´t never make my mind. 

But what do you think about this : 

On Rihanna this hairstyle looks really good...

but is it going to look good on me?! 

at Sågudden´s playground

This afternoon we had ´a date´with Jaron and her daughter Tindra at Sågudden´s playground.

Jaron was in my english course and Tindra is as old as Luna, just a month younger. 

Luna and Tindra

Devin and ? 

Now it´s dinner time...

Deep fried chicken legs and wings with whole-grain rice.

Have a nice Eveining!
