First snow and sick baby

First snow has fallen down today. Frida loves it and had to run outside straight away this morning. I wish I felt that excited about snow.
I don't really like snow anymore, I so live in the wrong country !!! It's fun to go skiing and stuff but really how often do I get a chance to do that these days ? Hardly ever I would say ! So f**k the snow I crave sunshine right now.
J and I have been up all night with Norah who once again decided to get sick. We're not sure what's up with her. She was screaming for maybe 2 or 3 hours straight and finally through up. It was impossible to get her calm so J gave her some painkillers and then she finally fell asleep for a while. Of course she woke up every other hour and this morning she had a fever. Poor thing I hope she'll get better soon. She's been sick a lot lately and it's no fun for anyone !!! I want my smiling baby back again !
Tonight I'm watching Idol of course. I hope sweet Kevin makes it through even when forced to sing in Swedish.

Frida

Some of Frida's work
In the progress of making something pretty

Frida has a week off from school, autumn break I guess you can say. She's very happy to sleep longer in the morning.
Since the whole family are having a cold we can't really go places so we've been trying to think of fun things to do around the house.
Today we took out the sawing machine and Frida made a stuffed cat and a small heart. She was very happy with the result !
We've also been playing lots of junior buzz which is fun as long as Frida is the winner : ) My god , I thought I was a sore looser as a kid but that was nothing in comparison with Frida !!!! Hopefully she'll grow out of it .

Birthday party !

Norah watching tv in her new sofa

Opening gifts was fun stuff !!!

Frida blowing out the candles


I'm one now !


Yesterday was quite the day ! Norah turned one and we invited the whole world...well many people, anyway.....I started the day by making cake I'd never tried making before which resulted in me throwing it in the garbage!!! Oh man was I in a mood after that ! Started over again and this time successfully...wohoo back on track. Norah have a bad cold of course and wasn't in her best of moods so baking with a screaming one year old on the arm is not to recommend for a stressed out mom. Then off to pick up Frida from school and start decorating the party house we borrowed, then start making dinner for 25 people. It's the understatement of the year to say that I was stressed ! But somehow I managed to get everything ready in time with a little help from my dear daughter and man friend : )
Everyone seemed to have a good time and the kids loved all the attention and great gifts of course.

Need some sleep

I'm like a zombie right now............I need some serious sleep. Norah was up every other hour all night long!
She's not feeling well , she's caught a cold again poor thing. Talk about bad timing for getting sick since we're having her very first birthday party tomorrow. Since it's Frida's party as well I can't really cancel either. Plus the fact that I have bought food for 25 people so the party is most definitely still on ! Who knows she might feel a lot better tomorrow. Kids tend to bounce back to healthy in no time don't they ....

Frida is now 7 !




Frida with some of her gifts

Frida turned 7 years old yesterday. Where did my little girl go ?
She wanted breakfast in bed as always on her birthday so I set
the alarm at 6.10 and jumped up to start preparing everything.
She wanted an egg sandwich and apple juice in a wine glass ( she thinks it's more fancy that way he he ) , and a candle on the tray and happy birthday song and all her gifts. So at 6.30 sharp we marched into her room to wake her up....well I think she was just pretending to sleep but she played her part well : ) and acted very surprised !
She was very happy with everything so that was good. On friday we're having a birthday party for both the girls since Norah is turning one so the celebrations just keep coming ! I'm making dinner and cake for 25 people so wish me luck !!!

Sucker for romance....

Just finished watching a movie with Patrick Dempsey called the made of honor. I'm such a sucker for romantic movies but even more so for Patrick Dempsey. I love him in Greys anatomy and I loved him in this and I'm sure I'd love him in just about anything : )
Just had to say that ...good night everyone !

Frida with " Party "


Not much have happened this week part from my every day chores, which would bore you so I wont tell you about that.
Instead I thought I'd share a picture of Frida with one of the horses from Botorp where she now is riding every tuesday.
Luckily her cousin Lisa has offered to voluntare to walk next to her with the horse instead of me - Thank god ! I'm terrified of the horses !
It's fun to watch though from a distance....and who knows a few months from now I might be less terrified...

Back home

Me and my pal Adam ....he he....for those of
you who doesn't know who this is, it was the
host of the tv show we went to see. Very nice
man that we just had to take a picture with : )

Back home again. Had such a great weekend ! Thank you Linda you are the best !!!
The tv recording we went to on friday was hilarious. I was laughing so much my face actually hurt afterwards. So I'll
definitely go to more things like that. The show is called Tack gode gud and airs sometime at the end of october I think. So keep your eyes open you might get a glimpse of two blonds laughing their heads off.
Rest of the weekend was very relaxing and just what I needed. Good food, great company and lots of not doing much but still having the best of time.

Off to Stockholm tomorrow !

I'm off to Stockholm tomorrow ! Woo hoo ! 3 days to myself in the big city . I'm staying with Linda of course. Tomorrow we're going to watch a tv show be recorded. We're going to be in the audience so that's going to be fun. Never done that before. It's a comedy so I'm sure I'll laugh my head off. Not that it's that hard to get me to laugh normally but this will be different I'm sure. I just hope I'll find my way to Linda's job tomorrow. I'm not that good with directions to places but I guess I can take a cab if I get lost. We haven't planned much else for the weekend which is nice. It's going to be so great just to be able to sleep a whole night and sleep in in the morning. That's luxury for me these days !
