blah blah blah

I have more trouble coming up with titles to these little moments blogging than I do typing away letting the bs flow. I have always shared all the superficial details with everyone I know, probably wearing out ears left and right, even though no one ever complains. At least not directly to me. Anyway, we are on sunday, the weekend is moving right along and it is a nice weekend.

Friday night we grilled out with friends. One of those get togethers with 6 families and 10 kids, all under the age of 5 except for an 8 year old. Keeps everyone busy, there isn't any real time to sit and just let things move along, the kids make sure of that. Don't misunderstand me, it was really good, relaxing as it can possibly be these days. I had made cheesecake ice cream that we had with fresh strawberries. Jonna said it was as good as or maybe better than Ben and Jerry's, she really knows how to give a compliment.

Saturday was intense. Jonna was at a bachelorette party. Me and the boys. We were taking it kind of slow when Df called and asked if we wanted to go swimming. Then I tried to kick it up a gear and get us out of the house. It is like being the head clown of a three clown circus. No one was cooperating, not even me. I couldn't find anything. In the end, sweaty but without yelling, we made it out of the house. In to the car and off to swim. The first place we went to was a bust. No good place for the kids to get into, so back into the cars and on the road again. I was afraid that Charlie was going to fall asleep before we got to the next place and could eat. Bingo, was I right or was I right.. sleeping like a sweaty little kid in the back of the car. Carefully into the wagon with him, the only thing worse than him sleeping early is him waking up after 15 minutes ( in the end he only slept like 30-40 minutes anyway). Then down to the little swimming area. It was good, lots of people, kids everywhere. We ate a little pasta salad compliments of Df and Sf. Dylan ate the usual amount which isn't much, and his cousin Tf followed suit, much to Sf's consternation. Tf usually eats really well, but Dylan is a really bad influence when it comes to that. After lunch and a "swim", mud pies and peeing on the beach (Charlie, not me). We had an ice-cream and headed of home for nap time. Dylan crashed hard in the car, Charlie had already slept 30 minutes, so he felt no need to sleep and make my life easy.

After Dylan slept we headed of to Rn, Vn, Kn and the new son Vkn. They are a great family, very relaxed and a lot of fun to hang out with Rn is great with kids, there just isn't two ways about it. He is a big kid himself, and can outplay the little ones. Fh och As with their daughter J were over to. All of them are a real pleasure to be around. The food was excellent. Entrecote steak and Fresh potatoes with Feta cheese melted around. A green salad and some really good bread. I was driving so it was water for me, but the beer cans looked really really good. Oh, well. Rn was unbelievably popular when he came out with enough ice-cream for 20 kids for the 4 kids to share. Dylan's comment was that he always always wanted to come to Rn and Vn. "Jag vill alltid alltid komma hit" ("I want to always always come here.") Then it was time to head home, Charlie was getting tired falling down and just a mess. Busted his nose on the floor so there was blood. Not fun, cleaned up a little bit and then dumped him and Dylan in the car. We were home about a quarter to 8. It had been a really good day, the only downside was that Jonna wasn't with, but you can't have everything.

I leave today for another post, you can read that one later if you still have the energy after this one. :)

hope your weekend has been as good as mine is.
