Last week we decided to have take away dinner on the beach one night when Adam finished work early. It was a beautiful calm and sunny evening and we all had a really nice time together.
Last week there was a big festival in the city so I took Isak and Jakob to the tivoli one day. Mum joined us as well and also Maggi. Jakob loves all the different rides!
We could even see mum and Maggi on the ground.
Last week I met up with some people that I went to university with. Jocke in the middle of the picture worked on lots of projects together with Maria and I. Jocke now lives in Gothenburg but was in Luleå to visit his dad. Björn lives in Luleå and we bump in to each other in the city sometimes.
Jakob was very excited this morning when he found out that Adam had started filling up the sand box with some sand. He played for quite a long time all by himself this morning with his new toys. After lunch we went to visit Samuel and his parents who live on our street. They had fun together and as always Jakob loves to play with other childrens toys.
Jakob ate a massive amount of food and had SO much energy after dinner. Mum took him for a bike ride around the block while cleaned up and spent some time with dad.
Yesterday we had a quiet morning at home and Isak had a 3 hours sleep between 9 and 12 in the morning. I am still feeding him 2 times a night but I am trying to get him to go back to sleep without feeding especially if he wakes up around midnight. It has worked a few times to just leave him when I hear that he wakes up and often he goes back to sleep after a little cry. He loves sucking on his two middle fingers, it looks really funny and I would like to know what made him chose those two fingers, and not the others. In the afternoon we went to mum and dad for a couple of hours but went home before dinner.
After Isak and Jakob had gone to sleep and Adam was home I went grocery shopping and also bought some toys for the sand box. The other thing I bought was a life vest! Finally we have one of our own and I dont have to worry about boat trips or Jakob running around close to deep water.
Sunday night we were invited to my brothers place for a bbq together with Helenas sister with her family, Helenas parents and also mum and dad. The evening was beautiful and the kids played outside most of the night.
Moa who turns 4 in only a couple of weeks!
We all had a very nice bbq dinner and the only time throughout the night when the kids were quiet was when they were eating something.
Isak was very relaxed and spent a lot of time in the pram just watching the party happening around him.
When he wasnt in the pram he played with mormor....
Jakob loved playing with Filip who is 2 years older than Jakob. They had great fun all night running around the house about 200 times.
We ended up staying until nearly 10.30 and by the time we got home Jakob was very tired. Here Helenas mum Birgitta is reading a book to some of the children.
After lots of thinking, talking and research we finally got on to building a sand box for Jakob and Isak. I have felt for a long time that we havent got enough things to do for Jakob in the backyard and with me being home with the children by myself so much when Adam is busy at work I have felt that we need somthing more. Since all the sand boxes you can buy in the stores are so small, we decided to build our own. Micke very kindly offered to help us and he also had all the tools that we needed. Adam started in the morning by digging the hole for the sand pit.
Keeping Jakob and Finn happy throughout the day was a challenge. At times they were playing great together and at times we had to help them to sort out a problem like Who had the toy first or who pushed who.
Finn and Jakob trying to help the dads figure out how to build the sand box.
The wood is starting to look like a sand box!
A couple of times Zara and I were struggling to keep Jakob and Finn happy and entertained so later in the day we took them for a walk around the block. They went crazy jumping in puddles, running, playing in the playground and had lots of fun.
Back again at the house the boys started playing inside the box and didnt seem to mind not having any sand there.
Adam and Micke kept working when we went inside to try to get the children to bed. Isak and Lykke went down not much after 7 but Jakob and Finn took much longer to start relaxgin.
If you look closely you can see Finn's legs on the top bed. This was the first time Jakob had a friend sleeping there.
Last Friday Adam had most of the day off. In the afternoon we all went in to the city and bought some childrens clothes on sales and had a coffee with Carina and Andreas. Adam was looking for clothes in one of his favourite shops and Jakob was going crazy running between the cafe and Adam in the shop. Not a very relaxing experience, but still fun. After that we went to mum and dad for dinner.
