Sollentuna Mall

By on 8-May-2011 in Alexander-2011, Filip-2011

Today was a long and sunny day. First we went to the Sollentunavallen Football pitch to watch Alexander’s Karlbergs BK P00 team play against Sollentuna. The, unfortunately, lost the game 1-4. After that, we hit the Sollentuna Mall to look for new shin pads for Alexander and some new shorts for Filip. Dad walked around looking for shorts and sunglasses, but he couldn’t find any that he liked – he’s quite picky, despite his appearance :-) .

We had a nice meal in the food court at the Mall, and then we went for some coffee and cake at Wayne’s Coffee. When we came home, we spent a few more hours outside before rounding off the evening with a light meal. All in all, a tremendous Sunday.

Re-organizing house

By on 7-Sep-2010 in Alexander-2010, Filip-2010

For the past two weeks, things have been a mess here at home. The biggest reason is because Mom and Dad finally decided to throw out a lot of old furniture (and replace it), give three rooms a new coat of paint, and move us into the same bedroom (!).

The reasoning behind it being that we mainly sleep in our bedroom and want a dedicated room for our computers or “home office”.

So, things are a little bit out of order here .. it feels a little like camping, but we do have our new beds setup at least and things are moving along nicely. We’ll let you know when you can view the progress in our photo album.

Snowfun!

By on 19-Dec-2009 in Alexander-2009, Filip-2009

20091219_snowfunAlexander’s friend Måns called this morning to ask if Alexander wanted to come out and race with his Snow Racer, now that we finally got some real snow! When Dad walked down to the basement to fetch Alexander’s Snow Racer, he ran into Måns’ dad, Christer, who asked if I wanted to come along as well. Since Mom was going to town to shop, Dad went along with us. It turns out there were a lot of kids there!

hot-chocolateWe had a blast for several hours; after a while, Måns’ Mom (Irina) turned up with hot chocolate and hot dogs. We took a quick foodie break and then it was back in the slopes again. When we came home, Dad made us sandwiches and real hot chocolate (cocoa, muscovado sugar, vanilla sugar, cream, and milk) .. yum!

All in all, a wonderful day out in the snow!

Swine Flu

By on 16-Nov-2009 in Filip-2009

SwineFluToday it was time for the Swine Flu vaccine .. Dad had booked an appointment for me and Alexander to get it done. Unfortunately, Alexander has come down with something (it’s not the flu, at least not the oinking kind). After som arguing with the nurses, we finally managed to get to see the doctor (the nurses claimed we had no appointment, bad mistake :-) )

Since Alexander couldn’t come, Dad got “his shot” instead. I don’t think Dad had planned it that way, but when one of the nurses said that she didn’t have any paperwork for him, he asked her for the form and filled it out.

And then it was my turn. It took all of 10 seconds and then it was over. When we had taken the elevator down to the ground floor, my tension dropped and I managed to produce some tears. Dad and I went to McDonald’s for lunch. It’s not Dad’s favorite place exactly, but it was for a good cause (me)!

On our way home on the subway, Dad asked me how my arm was feeling, and I told him it hurt quite a bit; at the same time I held my right arm to prove my point. When dad pointed out to me that it was the left arm, it got a bit confusing .. but we both had a laugh about that :-)

Stubbornness

By on 5-Oct-2009 in Alexander-2009

Carrot“The quality or state of being stubbornly inflexible”

Today, dad served carrots with the pesto & gnocchi. Filip loves carrots, I don’t. I was going to go out with my friends to play footie, but dad said I had to eat the carrots as well. I said no, dad said I could sit at the table until I had eaten the carrots or it was time for bed.

So far, I’ve been sitting in the kitchen for an hour and fortyfive minutes; needless to say, I haven’t eaten the carrots. Unfortunately for me, my dad isn’t budging, so I guess I’ll be sitting out here until it’s bedtime.

Filip has volunteered to eat my carrots, but dad isn’t buying.
