Weekend update

Antoher weekend has come and gone. On Friday me and Dave went to see the new Bond while my cousin Therese and her boyfriend Michael babysat. Thank you!

On Saturday morning we went swimming with Elias again and this time he seemed to enjoy it even more than last time. We even "dived"! It was so much fun. I sure hope Dave wasn't right when he said "it can only go downhill from here"...

After Elias' mid-day sleep him and I went to a shopping centre to return a pair of his shoes that had broken (after less than 2 weeks usage, crap!) and to by a few small things. The place was absolutely packed and it isn't even that close to Christmas yet. I don't want to think about what it will be like in a few weeks... Internet shopping, here we come!!

On Sunday we went grocery shopping in the morning, an activity that Elias quite likes. Maybe because the shop we go to have little displays with stuffed animals he can look at. Where you get your eggs, there are a few hens, close to the dairy section you get a few cows and sheep. His favourite is a monkey swinging in a trapeze close to the vegetables. He can sit and look and laugh at it quite long while we run around the shop. We also managed to find him some new shoes which I sure hope will stay in one piece longer than the other ones!


In the afternoon I suddenly discovered that the rain had turned into snow. Wow! When Elias woke up we got him all dressed up so we could go out and play but the snow had then changed back into rain unfortunately. We did manage to hang some lights in the tree outside our house. It doesn't quite look the way we had imagined though. It actually looks pretty pathetic. I think we will have to get the extension pack with more lights...
