Four Day Weekend

An update on what we have been up to the past few days…

On Saturday we went to a store like Home Depot and bought supplies to put down a new floor on our patio, as well as some gardening items.

Here is Niklas planting tomatoes…



Here is a picture of our new and improved patio…


And a picture proving how much we are enjoying our new patio!


On Sunday I made a movie with the Super School kids based on the story of the Good Samaritan. I don’t have any pictures of that because it’s better to wait for the movie! I will link to it in a few days.

On Monday we met up with some friends in a nature reserve and had a cookout.


I introduced the concept of S’mores, but it was more like a Swedish version since they don’t have graham crackers here.

This is Niklas enjoying his S’mores…


And this is G enjoying her S’mores!


And here is G carefully roasting a marshmallow…


It has been a great 4 day weekend!

ejdb - the problem with liking to take photographs is that the photographer is hardly ever in any pictures!

beth & kct - we used this thin cookie/cracker thingies that are kind of like animal cookie taste, called Mariekex. The problem was that the chocolate pieces were too thick and didn't hardly melt. Next time I will buy thinner pieces of chocolate!

Although G liked the marshmallows and liked the chocolate and liked the Mariekex, she didn't care for the combo quite as much.

In addition to planting tomatoes we will plant/have planted potatoes, carrots, beans, onions, cucumbers and herbs. I especially look forward to the potatoes at the end of June!
