NK:s Christmas display

If you're only going to see one Christmas display this year, NK:s is
the one you can't miss!

It is made up of about 6 windows, each telling its own storytale. Each
window has its own mood and music.

Grandma hearts Ali

Yesterday, I attended my grandmother's wedding. Now, that's something
you don't say everyday! It was a nice wedding, and finally she has her
man, Ali, as a legal husband.

Ali is from Iraq but had to escape to Sweden. He lived here in exile
for a while, but was then deported and moved to Greece for about a
year. During that time, my grandmother has constant contact with the
Swedish immigration service and earlier this year, he came back!

After the wedding ceremony we had cake and coffee for everyone and
after that the closest family went to a Libanese restaurant and had a
meze dinner.

Ali is my new grandfather, and in a way my only grandfather. Can't
wait until he speaks Swedish!

Line up, Everybody!

Don't be fooled by the pictures, Sweden is NOT a communist country!
This is not the line for foodstamps, it is the line to get vaccined
from the swineflu.

Believe it or not, but we don't have a lot of mass vaccinations,
actually I've never been to one before, so I thought I had to write
something up about it.

We arrived an half-hour early and there were still 965 people ahead of
us! We stood in line for one and a half hour, and covered 500 meters. If you don't believe me, watch this map!

When we went out, the line had grown even longer. I heard they had 2
500 shots, and it doesn't take a genius to realize that the people at
the very back won't get any!

Anyways, now we're safe and sound and hoping we won't catch any of the
deadly side-effects!

My wife in her wedding dress after having not one, but two kids! I
wonder if I would fit in the suit I wore that day...

Dröm-shopping

Melker har sett hur det går till när Mamma shoppar och praktiserar
detta i leksaksaffären. OBS! Endast noga utvalda leksaker hamnade i
korgen.

Play-Doh Session

Earlier today I had an Play-Doh jam session with Mel. These are (a few
of) the results. From the top left: "Spaghetti with meatball", "Hot
Dog", "Mel Dog", and "Eggah". The 'dogs looked so realistic Melker
even tried eating it. How's that for a nice grade?!

I think more people should have Play-Doh sessions, especially with
kids! It' great fun! Now that knitting has become so popular again,
it's time for a new trend: what better than Play-Doh? I'm gonna make
it happen!

Friends 4-ever!

Melker och Amos. Vad ska man säga?Adorable!

Down and dirty

Melker's over-all was thoroughly tested today at Emma's birthday-
party. No mud was harmed during the taking of these pictures. Mel
seemed to enjoy it, though!

Emma 29 år

Idag fyller Emma 29 år och bjöd på fest. Riktigt mysig fest, trots
vädret sim var allt annat än mysigt. Vi höll till på innergården
och Fredde hade fixat tunn-grillar som både värmde kalla fingrar och
korvar.

Dessutom fick vi fantastiskt god morotssoppa och något Muckelimuck-
bröd (var det så det hette, Emma?) som Emma påstod kom från Arabien
men var misstänkt likt Naan-brödet från Royal Indian...

Vi vuxna pratade och frös, medans barnen lekte och blev smutsiga. Och
med barnen menar jag förstås bara Melker. De andra barnen lydde sina
föräldrar och undvek lerpölarna. Inte Mel.

Höstfint

Förra helgen tog vi en promenad hem från Natirhistoriska muséet och då
var det så här höstfint i träden. Synd att det ska vara så kallt, bara!

Maskerad-Melker har rotat lite i mammas scarf-låda. Jag tror han
siktade på Roger Pontare...
