Canada Day Craziness

Yesterday, July 1st, was Canada Day. As with Sweden's National Day (June 6), you can display your very patriotic feelings by hanging out with friends, drinking beer and, in our case, eating cotton candy and jumping on bouncy castles ;) Pretty darn patriotic Canadian, if you ask me ;) The bouncy castle festivities were cut short because of a massive rain storm but that did not limit the hanging out with friends bit. We went to the W family house for further Canada Day celebrations that included bubbly wine and chips. Alexander and Nicklas ended up sleeping over at their house and, I am sure, continuing the party (poor mother W!).

Besides Canada Day, July 1 marked the first day of my holidays........ ahhhhhh! :)

Wishing you all a great (and relaxing) weekend! xox




Nothing like boys and cotton candy :)

Lesson: boys will pose if you bribe them with sugar ;)
Friends :)
Bouncy castle party!

Happy Canada Day!
The festivities get a big thumbs up from the Swede ;)

Rule?

If I got these chocolates as a Christmas present, that means that there are no calories, right? ;)

The boys started school today and I had a meeting with Aladdin. Please note that I did not eat ALL the chocolates in the box by myself. That could be considered over the top ;) I did have SOME help over the holidays ;)

xox to you all!

Scary Hallowe'en...

The boys had such a good time last night. After Christmas, I think Hallowe'en scores right up there ;)
I had to take the boys with me to work on Friday. Usually this ends up being "THE MOST BORING DAY EVER" but lots of my colleagues brought in candy with them so the boys ended up with a pile of sweets and loving their day with me at work ;) After we got home from picking up Oliver from daycare (he had a great party.... that will be another post), I finished up our decorations at the boys' request. Funny thing is that we weren't even planning on being home for the big night! Oh well... it looked good for a boring non-candy house ;) In the early evening, we had dinner with some friends of ours and then went trick or treating with them in their neighbourhood. There are so many more children where they live and a lot of them all go to the same school as the boys so they had a blast scaring each other. Alexander even had a chance to treat or treat with some friends of his without us... so grown up :P
All in all,  I have to say is that we ended up with WAY TOO MUCH CANDY! Seriously, even if I gave them candy every day- which I am not about to do (yes, again: worst mother ever)- they would never finish up their bags ;) Maybe Andreas and I should be nice, good parents and help them finish the candy ;) Let's just call it "parent tax" ;)
Hope you all had a good Hallowe'en :) See you on the other side of the sugar hangover!

Happy Valentine's Day


Happy Valentine's Day! We're covered with snow today so I am very glad that I am working from home! I even had a little time to fix some candy bags for the boys. Have a great day!


Happy Valentine's Day!

Candy bags

Way too much snow

When it is super hot in the summer, I will look back at this and NOT complain about the heat! ;)

We lost our stairs!
