  • For their last Mini 4H class today, the children groomed one of the ponies and then each got to go for a spin around the little farm. Louis will definitely attend another session of Mini 4H when there is one. He has loved going to learn about the animals each week.
  • Alec and Léonie had the best time playing together while Louis was at Mini 4H today. They spent almost an hour with this cart, working together and having so much fun.
  • When you somehow manage to get everyone out the door on time (Even a little bit early! On a Monday!) and spend the rest of the morning wondering what you missed.
  • Sunday morning in the garden. There has been so much going on that it feels like we haven't seen the children properly in days. So a slow Sunday morning, with lots of free play, a long lazy breakfast of berry smoothies and french toast, and some garden "work" was exactly what we needed. #suburbanbliss #sundaymorning
  • Nonie Pony playing while Louis is at mini 4H. She didn't nap today since she had a hard time settling in in the big stroller in the park so she was practically cross-eyes already when I picked her up. But Wednesdays at 4H have become a highlight for all of us the last few weeks.
  • Good morning suburbia! And the summer that won't stop. A little morning walk between dropping off Alec at school and going back to school for parent/teacher conference. 💛💛💛
  • My favourite month! Autumn is here but it's still warm and lovely. The kids were so suprised that it was dark when they went to bed this evening. They don't seem to remember how bad Swedish winters are because they were shocked when I told them it will soon be dark when we pick them up from school in the afternoon. I'm wondering if we will still feel like taking this shortcut through the cemetary then (which is actually a longer way that I take so that I don't have walk Léonie and Louis by the playground on the way from the bus to Alec's school).
  • Cake for breakfast! We rounded off our whirlwind weekend in the country with birthday celebrations for cousin Dante who turned 8!
  • Breakfast in the library this morning. The grown-ups' crayfish party went on pretty late last night but the kids had us (and by "us" I mean Sumit) up bright and early as usual.
  • We're exhausted already and have retreated to the shade of the parasoll in front of my parents' place. But Hermine's big weekend is not over yet!
