On Wednesday my very good friend A came over with her little girl Elisia. A and I have know each other for 15 years (I think that's what we agreed on) and with us having our little ones and moving out of town we don't get to meet up nearly as often as we would like. So even if her E is the same age as our E it was more of a mum-date than a kiddie-date... :)
We just stayed at our house all day, except for picking up Anton from dagis of course... Just hanging out with your best girlfriend is enough, no need for activities... :D Kiddies took turns in sleeping which kept the play noise to an acceptable level and also gave us a good chance to just be as well. After naps and lunches we were out in the garden for a bit, again...LOVE having a sandpit!! ;D Then it was time for them to start heading back home... A good visit and hopefully it won't be too long before we get to hang out again!
Yesterday I had another play date! :D Two in a week is not bad for lazy-bum-friends-too-busy-too-far-away-Erika! ;P This time with two mums I've met over the net on a English speaking mums forum. Tara (with little Christian and Ella) I've met a few times already and this time Emma (with "baby" Lilja, a couple of months younger than Erin and Christian) joined us too... The zoo here is excellent to visit with kids of any age... :) The playgrounds are built and planned very well so that you can just let them play on their own and still see what they're up to.
Ella and Anton being the same age got into a bit of pushing and shoving but made up and seemed to not hold a grudge. Kärlek börjar med bråk... is a "saying" in Swedish... roughly translated it means Love begins with a tiff ... :D
Tara's husband Anders came and picked their little ones and she was kind enough to give me and mine a lift home. Much quicker than with the bus and since the bus ride into town was...interesting...I was happy to go with other transportation.
Bus driver in to town drove like he was running from the police! Breaking heavily and driving all over the place...at one point he "missed" a person waiting at the bus stop and stood on the breaks, I flew across the seat (as did other passengers) onto our pram and Thank God "only" bruised myself and didn't hurt the kids...was just so thankful that they hadn't been flattened me so I didn't even get angry until we were well off the bus and at the zoo. I should have given him a good piece of my mind driving like that but I was just so shocked. Will send them a letter of complaint though...be sure of that!
Today I had an appointment at the local hairdresser...there's only the one nearby and I really didn't like what she did the last time I was there but... There is just not enough time (and I just can't be bothered) to make an appointment in town 'cause having to take the kids with me or getting a late enough time so S can take them or going at the weekend when we don't have the car...no... I just needed my hair trimmed a little bit and I thought that surely she should be able to manage that! She did...just... ;) My hair was in such a state that she couldn't really have made it any worse but she's just fairly...bad... :P Only-when-desperate type of hairdresser in my opinion.
Hair feels better though and I'll give it some colour tonight and should feel a bit more "presentable" for birthday party we're going to tomorrow. :)
Now its time to wake kiddies (who btw behaved very well just sitting in their pram at hairdressers) and make them something to eat.
Bye!
