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.

February & March 2012

Erik's parents babysat Oliver twice in February and there was
a lot of Bamse reading going on, much to Oli's delight!

My food is always so much more interesting...

Why play with only one toy at a time when you
can play with many at the same time??!

Cuddle pause.

This mini teddybear asked me out on a date on Valentine's and
of course I agreed! Erik and I were both tired and had a cold so
it was the fastest dinner I have ever been to. Despite that it was
nice to get away for a little while!

The whole family was severely "hit" by the flu
this season so for all of February and March
we were sick. Even I had to be at home for TWO
weeks from work and thaat is unprecendented!
Damn those daycare bacteria!!

Cars, buses and trucks are all that Oliver talks about and plays
with nowadays.

New hobby!



It is sooo much fun and a great work
out! I have only had five lessons this far
but I am hooked. It was my collegue
Sandra who lured me away, and for
that I am thankful!

Long time no blogging.

I'm back,  thanks to my new and fully functioning phone! I was reluctant to get a new one but since my old one had several malfunctions, a crashed screen among other things,  I had no choice.  I am happily surprised by my new one,  Sony Xperia S. The camera,  which I value most, is simply fantastic compared to my old one. Happy blogging times to come! :-D

Lovely Oli!

He loves his furry toys!

I finally found a reasonably priced Stokke Tripp
Trapp chair for Oliver, so I rushed off last Sunday
and bought it. Now Oliver can climb up himself
and sit with the rest of the family at the table.

Bohemian brunch at Sjögrens' 2012-02-12.

Frida, also the birthday girl of the day, soon to
give birth as well.. (two days later as it turned out).

An INCREDIBLE brunch made by Marta after only three hours
of sleep. Amazing.

A night out with the girls... 2012-02-11

It had been ages since I had a proper night out so this time I went all in and had a blast! I am very much an "all or nothing" girl so that made sense to me. Anyway, I met up with Marta and Mai and we kicked off the night with a drink at East. We then proceeded to Hotellet where dinner, drinks and all sorts of interesting discussions awaited. I had my usual favourite to eat; steak tartar. After a long dinner we went on to have one drink at Vassa Eggen and were utterly surprised when they closed the place already at two. What to do? We picked out a direction and just walked until we found ourselves outside another club. Since neither of us wanted to wait in line, we just stood there and wondered what to do or where to go next, but before we knew it we got "adopted" by some guys and swept past the dreaded que and up to some bar (V I was told afterwards). Then on to the next bar, White room but at half past three we agreed enough was enough since at least Marta and I knew that there would be no mercy in the morning when our kids would wake up. So we went home. It was a small miracle (mixed with Red Bull and vodka) that we were able to stay up for so long as we did. It was a perfect night out!
