Webber the Wasp Warrior

Yesterday we found a wasp nest in our shed. After a bit of research David decided to get rid of it by knocking it into a bucket of boiling hot water.


Dressed for the occasion



The result!

Luleå recap

Early Sunday morning we came back from Luleå after a week there. We decided to drive there since flights were so expensive and we decided to drive during the night so that Elias would sleep. On the way up he slept about 2 hrs out of the 10 hr journey and on the way back it was pretty much the same. Not exactly according to plan but it did go pretty well anyway.

Me and Dave were pretty shattered after the drive up north but luckily the weather was great and Elias had a good time playing with grandma Inger and granddad Stig.

On Monday we invited some of my old friends over for lunch. It was great to see them all especially since they live in various parts of the world at the moment. All of them have kids and it is amazing to see how much they change in a year.


On wednesday we went to see my aunt and had some lovely grilled fish.


We managed to see our friends Malin and Dave a few times which was great. They live in Australia so it doesn't happen that often. On Friday we met them for lunch in the "legendary" chinese restaurant Waldorf in Luleå. It has been around for ages and taught me that it is perfectly normal for chinese restaurants to also serve pizza! (Their menu has also contained japanese, indonesian and swedish food)

Elias and Matilda had a great time together

Weekend

On Saturday we did a little excursion to a new place that turned out really nice - Hågelby. Dave had read about some little cars children could drive and Elias loved it (and the parents). There was a relly nice café as well and somewhere there was supposed to be some animals but we didn't find it. Maybe next time. It would be a perfect place to have a picnic in some day!






On Sunday we went to Uppsala to meet with the parent group and to celebrate our little 2-year olds. It was so nice to see everyone again and especially to see all the kids. They have all grown up so much!


I have added a new photo album for July & August.

Like father like son

In the hot weather we had recently we struggled to get Elias to wear anything but his trainers. He has sandals but he refuses to wear them. He has also inherited a pair of shoes that I wore as a child that he can accept but they aren't any good in case he wants to play in water. For some time we have though about getting him a pair of crocs and we have finally gotten around to buying them. Luckily he seems to love them! Don't know if it is because it has a picture of a crocodile on them or because daddy has a pair too...
