June 20, Sunday

Today was a lovely day!  Woke up on time and ate breakfast within 30 minutes of waking up - protein shake.  Got the kids fed. Sat down and played on the computer for a bit while I waited for my brain to wake up the rest of the way. Then I got up and did some stretches recommended by Katy Bowman.

Mika slept in after being woken up a lot by our cat and by the neighbor's party (which they warned us about yesterday, yay for cool neighbors!).  So after he had awoken and had breakfast, we went outside and worked some on the backyard. Mika moved the rhubarb to the side of our yard, rather than in the middle. We both picked up the twigs, etc, from when they removed 2 trees last year, and moved them to the twig pile near the forest in the back.

After that I sat down and did some weeding around the fruit bushes.  I'm about halfway done now, but we're going to head to the lumber store to get some supports for the bushes. They're all laying flat due to the winds and weight of the fruit!

It's been a clear skies and windy kind of day. But the strong winds are up high in the tree tops while it's more like a gentle breeze where we were. Very nice. My favorite kind of day really! :D

------Part 2--------


Sadly, we did not find what we were looking for at Hornbach or ICA for the garden. We will need to go to a few different places then. We did a big grocery shopping though, bought meat and chicken for the month as well as oatmilk. Of course we forgot the frozen strawberries. LOL. We had a 20% off coupon for toys at ICA, so we bought about 700kr worth of toys.

Freja chose a doll - sweden's version of a barbie doll, I think.  I was a bit surprised as she has said no very emphatically for all these years. Her doll has a Hello Kitty shirt. She's big into Hello Kitty things right now. We also found some foam cut-outs of Hello Kitty to put on her wall when we change the Play room into her own room.

Vidar chose the child's version of Yahtzee. He enjoyed playing it with me after we got back from our shopping trip!  It really shows how good he is getting at addition too when he adds up the scores.

Magne chose a little doll sitting on a car.  And a garage thingie with 2 cars in it. He's already broken bits of those cars. LOL. He can break the sturdiest vehicle toy! We picked up some crayons for toddler hands and 3 small cars that he will get on his birthday.

Dinner was from Max. 

Bedtime was late - around 11pm.
