Kids art

The kids have been painting. Finn made a special painting that we planned to send to Grandma. I thought I would get around to posting the paintings on the weekend and then, later that day, I found the painting in our letter box. Finn had decided he would post it to Grandma himself!

Here is a selection of the paintings...

Weekend in Småland

A big HAPPY BIRTHDAY ! to Marcus who turn 40 today. We had a good time visiting on the weekend. Finn got to spend time with his best friend Melker, unfortunately he had a big accident with his bike and got a few scratches and bruises. The party was lovely and Finn thought this cake was delicius, he had 3 pieces.

The sun was out so we could be outside for the party.

Finn arranged and took this photo all by himself.

kids

The kids are going great right now. Summer is on the way, Finn is riding the balance bike and had a go at a proper bike at the park on the weekend, he's still a way off but he's got the idea. Flora said 'goodbye' to the cot on the weekend and had her first night in the big bed. So now Finn and Flora are sharing a room and Hanna and Luke are sharing a room and all was good.
