Olz+N'tash featuring Lil' Fil in the big city of Thn

I’ve been so unfocused since we are back home. Time to pull myself together I guess… *sigh*

It’s Monday. It’s September. I feel like I have to leave my holiday-mode behind and try to get into the everyday life. Ugh! Anyway, we started this week with the play group session just like in good old days. :) God, I’m gonna miss it when we move!  And I guess Lil’ Fil will miss it as well…

It was a h*ll of trip back and they even lost our stroller, which was totally fine with me, because, to be honest, I hate it! I was about to start a convincing game with J about buying  *my dream travel stroller*  Bugaboo Bee;) when they called from the airport and said that they found it… *They are too good sometimes! *

The biggest issue now: a V E R Y spoilt baby!

On a bright side we also have a very cool J, who has patience to deal with him! ♥

Honestly, once you have kids you  somehow  “start seeing” all the playgrounds and kid stores, that you have never “seen” before. :) Well, this one where we have been to today is hard to miss anyway. :D It’s super-mega-hyper-huge 5 storey building with *I swear* everything you can imagine your kids would need/wish/ask for before they turn 18. Leaving it empty handed was not an option ;) (grandma’s treat :) )  and, of course, went for a ride on the train that runs right in the middle of the first floor!  *I’m not mentioning the screaming baby who wanted to go by traing again, again and again! :D*

It’s been a h*ll of two days but I saved the best for last. :) I mean this mother-to-be photo session I mentioned before. She looked gorgeous like all lovingly awaiting mothers during the last monthes. She was so calm and easy going. It will be my pleasure to shoot the *comming up ;) * baby some time in October. But here is a little preview from today’s shooting.

No regrets to leave this super rainy weather. Spain, here we come… Hello hot & sticky!!! :D *Gone to pack the suitcases*

It a crayfish party season in Sweden. It’s the time when you eat crayfish and shrimps.

“Dining is traditionally outdoors, but in practice the party is often driven indoors by bad weather or aggressive mosquitoes.” (Wikipedia) *haha*

According to me that’s a crayfish party in the nut shell. :D But not last night! We had a great party and really enjoyed wonderful summer evening last night. :) It’s like you sit around the table and you just want to freeze the moment and have it with you forever. I felt such joy of being there all together…*Gotta stop before I’ll get too poetic :D *

And at last but not the least, we have say huge crazy THANKS for all the presents that we all got and especially for those in the pink wrapping paper. *blink-blink*

We had an incredibly cozy crayfish party at the west coast together with the whole big fat family last night. :D Thank you so much for the wonderful and warm evening!!!

And today we are going to another party with the other part of big fat family. And this is when we said that we are NOT going to make a big deal of Lil Fil’s first birthday.

We are going to “tha big city” :) today to hunt some furniture and to talk to our new landlord *uuooooo*. Lil’ Fil’d better behave! :D

I just didn’t want to remember this day only for the worst sore throat I’ve ever had (still can’t talk.. :( ) we decided to make a short trip to the farm to get closer to nature if you want. :D Luckly, pictures don’t smell. :) But you’ve got the hint why the trip was short. :D

Lil’ Fil’s grandma is comming to visit us this afternoon, so cleaning the apratment was number one on our to-do list today. This just striked me that in exactly two months I will be cleaning this apartment for the last time ever! Do I need to say that I can’t wait??? :D To move, of course, not to clean! :D

I believe that last night was Lil’ Fil’s worst top 3. It was a long time since he was sooo whiny and cranky. And what we have now? A cranky, furious and sleep deprived me. I will definitely regret the things I said this morning and in fact I do. But this night and morning was one of those *very-very few, believe me* when I just wanted to take a break from being mom. Luckily *for Lil’ Fil*, Lil’ Fil has also a *very-very patient and cool :)* daddy, who not only bravely stand my hot-tempered mood, but also freely volunteered to take care of this “whining monster” the whole day. Isn’t it true love? ♥ :)))

Anyway, to calm down my shaky nerves as soon as “ma guys” left for a long walk I ran straight to the kitchen to bake those blue berry buns I was thinking about for a few weeks now. And voila! At once I feel much better. I believe that it does something to soul. Baking is like therapy to me. *Gone to roll the buns* :D Don’t forget to come back for result! ;)

Literally dying to celebrate J’s birthday ;) we (read: Lil’ Fil and I) decided to let the party begin today! J was totally taken by surprise, having other plans for today. We are going on a short road trip (where? stay tuned for a clue! ;) ), where the most is optional, except the hotel *with fantastic breakfast buffet*, which should everyone leave satisfied! Back later next week. See you then! :)

It’s finally Friday today. It’s the last day at work for J before he starts his vacation. Besides on Monday is his birthday. :) Lil’ Fil and I are planning a surprise *trip* ;), however something tells me that J had his biggest surprise last night :D, but I’m not saying more now. :P After this surprise *trip* we will go to visit our friend. So I guess we will be out of town the most of the week. *Do I need to say that I’m looking forward? ;)* Well, thanks God, those four *boring* weeks of being home alone are over now and I almost feel like it’s me who is starting my vacation. :D *Cocktails, here I come! :)* We plan to go out for lunch today to celebrate this. Lovely!

P.S. Have I mentioned that I only have J’s birthday and vacation on the brain? ;)

Let’s see… Last time I did this was when I was young(er) and literally in the last century. I’m talking about running. I never liked running. In fact, I hate it! I could never even guess that running freely and willingly would ever happen to me. :D It seems that everyone is running. *Even my mom! :)* It is like a new *trendy* thing, however I would rather do aerobics or dancing instead. But after considering the time it takes verses the effect my motivation to start running increased dramatically. So last night my running shoes hit the track and I hit the fact that it was at least zillion times harder than I expected. :D However my goal was to last at least 20 min and surprisingly I managed it. This afternoon is J’s turn. I wonder if he is ready to challenge me! *Action movie soundtrack playing in the background :D*
