Diaperless or less diapers...

I forgot something, maybe the most important thing today... That Marlee went the whole day without diapers and no accidents!!! He has been sledding, riding in the car, napping in the car, been excited etc and still no accidents! I am such a proud mother today!

Quick update

This will just be a short post to show you that we are still here! ;-) I apologize if the last post was kind of confusing. I made the update in the middle of the night, while being half asleep. At the time it seems funny but when reading it the day after I could see that it was a little strange... Hope you enjoyed listening to Noah in the dark though :-) 

It has been sooo busy the last week and it is still not over but we are having great fun enjoying friends, family and wonderful snow!!!! Those of you who have instagram know what I mean :-) And for those of you who don't here is a quick flashback plus some more!

Since I wrote last time, grey muddy weather has turned into beautiful white winter again! We turned in our car to fix something one day and I had to get around with the sibling stroller, it was the day when the snow came and it was snowing the complete day. Not the best day to drive a stroller but I am lucky to have such cool happy and tough children!

Today we celebrated Christmas with my sister and her family, with tacos, sledding and Christmas presents :-) Not very traditional but a good day and it was nice to see Linn, Ailo and Johan!

Since Marlee got a CD player (for Christmas) he spends a lot more time in his room listening to stories and music, preferably suuuuper loud, while solving puzzles or playing with cars :-D

This is how far we have come with removing Christmas decorations...

while the rest of us is trying to sleep..

Noah is very happy and has been talking fir about 20min. Marlee has given up sleeping in our bed and went back to his own room. I don't think that has happened before..

the snow is back!

We woke up to a white world today! So nice! Marlee went to the forrest with Annelie and the children and me and Noah have gone to IKEA. Just bought a coffee and an Orange juice for 9 sek, about $1.50 :-) I love IKEA!

Noah turned from belly to back today!

Noah seems to be very ticklish. Every time we put on or take off his clothes he giggles a lot :-D

Saturday evening me and Noah left the house for the big boys to be all alone. Aman and Mobi came over and spent the night with them. Noah and I went to Sofia and had a quiet evening talking and watching TV. It felt strange to not have Marlee running around but I enjoyed being able to actually keep to a conversation without loosing focus every other minute :-) Noah and I also spent the night and got back home on Sunday.

Yesterday we all went to a birthday party. It was my cousin's son, Sigvard, who turned three. We had a great time!

Today Noah turned for the first time! From belly to back. We were going to film it but then he got shy and did not want to do it anymore.. ;-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! / GOTT NYTT ÅR!!!

It is 2013!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

GOTT NYTT ÅR!!

I hope you all had a good new year and that you got to see some fireworks! We had a good night with friends (Mobi, Aman, Sofia and Emily), good food, board games and fire works! The boys surely had fun shooting fire works and Marlee was excited to watch! He stayed up until midnight which, I guess, was not a great surprise... ;-)

On New years Day I took the boys to a playground. All the snow is melted now because of some silly "warm" days but I hope that it will soon be back since it is even darker now than before because of the missing white snow...

Yesterday I introduced Marlee to Wii and we played some today, too. He is a little too young for it but if I help him out he can do some games. We have had lots of fun!! Today he also had a friend over to play with and we went over to Emily's house for dinner. Good times! 

Now we are just waiting for the snow to come back because rain and darkness is no fun but sledding, skiing and ice skating is!

Before showing you the pictures I want to look back on the last days of last year. We all went to visit my farfar, which is Marlee's and Noah's gammelmorfar (great grandpa). He was so happy to see the boys (he loves children!) and also to see Alex. He knows a lot of different languages and he loves to practice them with Alex.

"The birds"??
Lots of birds were circling over our house the
other day. I have never seen something like it
before (unless there is a trashmountin
around the corner...). Strange!

The first day of 2013 was a grey day
but the playground was just as fun!

Playing Wii!!!!!!

Sledding

Since we got home we have had, what I consider, a good winter, lots of snow and not too cold. Ok, some more sunshine would not be so bad :-) And we got that today. I realised that I had not really seen the sun since we got home and wow, it felt good!

After sledding Marlee ate three!!!
bananas with yoghurt!

 

The last two days have been warmer and a lot of snow melted. When it got cold today again the roads got all icy and it was pretty much possible too sled down any hill, it did not take much inclination to make the sled move. However, it was nicer to go into the forrest, which me and Marlee (and Noah) did.

Notice the icy road!

THE SUN!! :-D

Going up-hill

...and then down!
