Wroom wroom!

Oli is oh-so interested in daddy's motorcycle, and everytime I mention Erik he says "wroom wroom" in his darkest voice.. Boys and their toys! 

2012-04-20, dinner with the neighbours!

This spring we have been too preoccupied with studying during the weekends, so it was very nice to finally see some friends and just relax for a change! 

At the "barber"..

With hair like that, you need to tame
it from time to time, even though a
certain little someone is very sceptical
of the trimmer..

...but after getting acquainted with
the thingy that made such a noise,
it wasn't too bad. 

Pampering, April 17, 2012.

Well I guess he'd better start early to take
care of himself! I found Oli in my bed
where he had tucked himself in and found
my Nivea jar and did what he likes to do
most; smear stuff onto himself. I sat beside
him and couldn't help laughing, then he
slapped the rest of the content of the jar,
very gently and generously, onto my face...

New hobby no 2!

My first lesson, in snow... 

Surprisingly, it went really well!

My collegue Sandra, who suggested
that we should take golf lessons,
something I have thought about doing
for a long time (six years to be exact).
Better late than never! 

When I was younger I had my own hobbies. I played the piano and danced ballet, but nowadays I don't do so much just for my own sake. Since Erik and I went to Gloria Golf Resort in Belek Turkey in 2006 and I took my very first golf lesson, I have wanted to be able to walk a round myself, but without the experience that wasn't an option. Today I took my first step towards doing just that.

Bob the builder?

How do we put this together?

Hehe this was fun...

Hiding...

Peekaboo!

After a while I found Oli in his room
where he had found a smaller basket
to crawl into..

Mr Handsome!

Work event on Sundbyholm's castle, 23 March 2012.

Ice carving. There wasn't very much
thinking outside the box, but maybe
bankers forte isn't that kind of
creativity?

The conference were rounded off
with a funny performance.

My collegue Carin and I were lucky enough to share a suite
together. Jackpot since we both have small children and get
the need you have for sleep.. 

Not too shabby! :) We even had a
bubble bath which I utilized after the
party and before bed, around two in
the morning.. But hey, I only have a
shower at home so I jump at every
opportunity to take a long hot bath!

Friday the 13-th...

I started off the day by leaving Oli at his kindergarten for the first time this week. Unfortunately he got false croup during easter so we even had to bring him to the emergency room. We thought he was ok but after one hour at work I received a call from his daycare that he had puked while playing outside, so I had to drop everything and rush back to get him since Erik had a work shop and couldn't get away. I am sooo tired and done with all these virus infections that Oli has collected and passed on since starting at kindergarten. I REALLY hope this will get better soon.

More Easter pictures..

With granddad outside his workplace.

Charmer...

Somebody loves shoe shopping!
Wonder who he got that from..? ;)

He loves animals but rarely get to
interact with them, ergo the duck
chasing.

Dad and Erik, hard at work,
barbecuing.

Easter 2012 in Kristianstad.

Cooking with Nama (or also
"mormor" = grandmother, which
Oliver said for the first time there).

Oli turned 19 months on April 5 so his grandfather got him
this mini cake to celebrate... Just like he did when we visited
and Oli turned two months. Why not celebrate every chans
you get? ;)

Normally we don't give Oliver any kind of sweets, so he really
enjoyed his "cake"!

Potty training with grandmother
went very well! Some distractions
were necessary though..

A Easter present from Oli's other
grandparents.

Easter egg from me and Erik... containing another of his
favourite kind of stuffed animals from Bukowskis.

My old "Hokus Pokus"-chair still
going strong and entertainins..

Nama found her and dad's egg.

With daddy.

Easter Egg Hunt is ON!

Oliver found many eggs but not all of them were his... 

Bingo, again!

Taking a slow walk in the sun and Oliver tries out his new
tricycle. He was almost as tall as he needed to be so Erik
helped him a little by pushing.

Love!

Trying out the local slide...

...and the swing..

...and so did I. Never to old to hop on!

Easter cake that Ági and Zoli brought.

Móni and Per, to be wed on September 15 this year! Let's
hope our dresses arrive soon Móni...

Dad and Zoli.

Oliver was fascinated by Ági's dog.

Oliver, a born sybarite...

The thinking pose..

Oli with his first RC car that he got from Ági
and Zoli. He loved it! I thought he would be
too small for it, but nay.. He loves all buttons
that can be pushed.
