Packing...

Not long now before we get on the plane. Saturday morning Anders will pick us up around 6.30 in the morning to get to the airport in time for the first flight to Stockholm. Around 2pm we are flying from Stockholm to Bangkok and from there to Krabi. In Krabi we will get picked up by a van that has air condition and carseats for both boys. It will take us all the way to our resort in Koh Lanta. It feels great to know that we have a comfortable and hopefully safe car ride from the airport. I have a feeling we will be pretty tired at that stage.

So, the last few days have been all about buying the last few things for the trip, fixing things with the house before we leave, talking to the neighbours, seeing friends and family, packing etc etc. Tonight I almost finished packing Isaks bag and also his carry on bag. Tomorrow I will get on to my own bag. Adam is responsible for packing Jakob's bag.

Monday this week Jakob's best friend from dagis visited us without his parents for the first time. It went so well and they played like crazy all afternoon. I told them once that I thought they were so cute together and then they laughed and said: we are not cute, we are cool!!
After they left we went to mum and dad to have pancakes for dinner and Anders, Helena, Moa and Lucas were also there. Jakob and Moa always go crazy when they are together and we did our best to keep them as calm as we could. At least they had a great time. They took turns pressing buttons when dad (morfar) was lifted to the arm chair and they also helped giving him his medicin. One tablet each.

Today has been all about packing for me and looking after Isak, a short trip to mum and dad, grocery shopping. We had Anders and the family over for dinner, it will probably be a while before we can get together all of us again.

Isak is now feeling better after his cold and he is much happier again. He is also sleeping well in his new room even though I still feed him once around 4.30 in the morning.

Jakob is still coughing a bit but is well enough to go to dagis and has lots of energy as always. Tomorrow he is bringing ice cream to dagis to give to all the children to make the day a bit special since it will be his last day for a few months.

Time to get some much needed sleep! The good thing is that Adam is not working this week (apart from Monday) so we take turns sleeping in the morning. That way we can do some "work" in the evening after the kids have gone to bed without being so tired.
