Difficulties staying awake part 11

Someone was real tired this evening and fell asleep before finishing his couscous! :-)

Sunshine

Our boy brightens up our day, even when it's cloudy outside like today

A snippet of my morning

Starting this Friday morning with a strawberry protein shake and a little read in my new book.  It's by the famous guru and my personal hero, Jo Frost, AKA"supernanny", whose techniques and practical advice I apply to my family's everyday life.

Random holiday snaps

Strolling along the pedestrianised town centre

Kick starting the first day of a Summer festival as well as my Dad's first day of a long holiday, with a cold pint in the temporary beer tent in my home town's small square

Sean grew very fond of his uncle Henrik during his Sweden visit, and insisted on sitting with him in the large people carrier taking us in to Bar-B-Ko, undoubtedly our fave restaurant in Kristianstad, where we later had dinner

Mum is glowing from the sheer happiness of being surrounded by all her three children

A little merry Erik, after one too many Irish coffees 

Bear and Henrik get on like a house of fire

One warm evening we had a girlie night with pre drinks and take away food on Mum's terrace before hitting the town

Love was blossoming 

Lounging, the day after the night before in Henrik and Lisa's house

The warm evenings tempted us to go in to town several evenings and here we are listening to a live band and enjoying each other's company accompanied with loads of Swedish vodka lol

Mum sitting proudly in between her two boys

Not only to his Mum and Dad, but also to Sean himself, has Grandma's quiet and peaceful back garden and terrace become place of cheerful harmony

Bear is such a book worm and took every opportunity to sit in the hammock and read

The whole family gathered for a Swedish traditional dish of hearty large meatballs, mashed potato and gravy, pickled gherkin and lingonberry jam 

the most gorgeous home made burgers were the perfect hangover cure for us

Ivö

The other day we took the cable-driven car ferry over to one of the islands, Ivö, in the Ivö lake where we had lunch and acted like tourists!

Ice cream and play

Gathered at breakfast

At the train station

Picking wild strawberries (AKA "smultron" in Swedish) in Mum's garden to be sprinkled on top of my brekkie cereal.

The musical gene

Could Sean be following in Grandmas footsteps perhaps

Beaches and bum cheeks :-)

Catching up with Granddad
