Anna's Life Now

Nu är det Halloween time här i USA, det innebär en massa "hemska" dekorationer överallt och snart även en massa utklädda barn som går trick or treating. Är väl inte så förtjust i ideen. På dagis har man också lite extra firande fast man kallar det höstfest i stället! Så idag har Aron kommit hem med en massa godis! Det var western tema som gällde så det blev en cowboy hatt och en sheriff's stjärna för Aron's del!
Sen i morgon är det lite höstfest i hans klass, med godsaker. Även föräldrar är inbjudna. Men nu är det så att Aron i bland har fått vara i en annan klass eftersom det är rätt många barn i hans riktiga klass så idag var en sån dag, och då var det ju så att dom idag hade höstfest i den klassen. Det innebär alltså att Aron kommer att få två fester....busigt!

Här kommer några pics! Enjoy!!

Today in the car Aron is talking quietly by himself and suddenly he says in a louder voice: Animos. He has somewhere picked up the word animals! It's fun to hear him say things that we didn't know he knew!
And by the way, today he is feeling good again, no fever and eating much better! Tomorrow it's time for daycare again, something that he has spoken about the whole day.....

 Squirrel, one of the animals we see most often here.....

 Aron at the playground at daycare!

My baby is not well today, he woke up with a temperature that continued to go up, poor thing! He is now taking his nap, looking so peaceful, I hope he is feeling better when he wakes up! So there goes our plans for the day. There is a children's funfest in the church and we were planning on going so that Aron could have some great fun, but....we'll have to wait until next year then! I hope everyone else is having a good weekend!!

.....ja massor, och åska = mörkt....boooooring!!! Tanken är att vi ska till chapel om ett tag, jag känner inte för att sätta foten utanför dörren om man säger så...Andreas han är redan ute han....att han orkar....
Inget riktigt paraply har vi heller....bara ett litet skruttparaply som knappt håller ihop, har tänkt så många gånger när jag varit och handlat att jag ska köpa ett paraply, men eftersom vädret har varit bra just då så har det ju såklart känts lite slösaktigt och trist att köpa ett paraply, det får man minsann äta upp såna här dagar....Skulle gärna ha ett par snygga gummistövlar med...undra om dom har sånt i det här landet, får nog åka och kolla nån dag....

Ja såhär ser det ut utanför vårt fönster idag........




Så här såg det ut ute igår kväll.....



...lite skillnad va?! Jag föredrar gårdagens bild i alla fall....

We made another trip to Dallas this weekend! Cannot stay away from IKEA.....we heard they had "julmust" now so we just didn't want to miss that, we missed it last year... "Julmust" for those of you who don't know is a softdrink we Swedes drink for Christmas, and last year we had to do without so this year we compensated with more instead....But.....we didn't just buy "julmust"......we bought a lot of other stuff too...

 
Paradis chocholate, crisp bread, "glögg"....and  more.....


Aron's naptime came up while we were at IKEA, and he actually did go and try all the kids beds there....=)



But IKEA was not all we did in Dallas, actually we started out at the Texas state fair on Saturday when we came. After driving around for a parking space for a while we finally got to go in! Lots of people.....lots of people!


Can you spot us??


The big ferris wheel....



We looked around for a bit but went almost instantly to the Museum of Nature and Science which was our destination. They have a childrens museum which we thought Aron might like! And he did! He ran around for a long time playing with all things! Really enjoying himself!


Big fire truck and there were even some child-size firemen clothes and hats to borrow!


There was even water to play with!!!!


Cars, building blocks, balls, mirrors yeah, lots to play with!!!


Funny faces with dad!


Making music with mom!


"Eating" hamburgers in the kitchen!


Once we left the museum we were hungry....after all that play and a long day we had pizza! Yum! Then we decided that since we were at a great big fair, we should at least try one of the attractions, so we chose the ferris wheel.....






The view of Dallas!


The fair grounds from above!

Having spent the day in the car, at the museum and at the state fair it was really time for bed! We drove up to Frisco where IKEA is to spend the night at Embassy Suites there! Nice and comfortable and close to IKEA and Stonebriar Mall! We got back here to Tulsa on Sunday night! We did a new thing to keep Aron in a good mood in the car....



Well, that's our weekend, hope yours was as pleasant!

=)

Having complained about rough nights before I have to counter now with good nights! The two past nights Aron has slept all night long!! All night long, yeah, all night!! No "välling" and no disruptions at all! We are happy for that, it is so refreshing to wake up in the morning after nights like that. Another good thing is that Aron is often in a very good mood those mornings too!! That we have to love!
We are hoping for yet another good night tonight!

And to all you Swedes, sleep well! It is bedtime for you now, here we still have a few hours to go!

I was invited to brunch at Erika's Saturday! Six girl, food and chatting, can it be better? It was a great morning! Unfortunately I forgot my camera at home...as usual! I have to get better at bringing it, especially now when I'm blogging...=)
Anyway, girl-time is important, that we have to do more often!! Thanks Erika for inviting me!!

Yay!! This semester's midterms are over, fallbreak is here!! Gotta love it!
The week has been good however, remembering the previous midterm weeks we have had, this has been a great midterm week! I have been able to feel relaxed, something that I really didn't feel last semester...At that point I was ready to give up. I feel however, that I'm now able have a different approach to the studies over all, a much more relaxed approach! For that I just have to thank God!!

What fallbreak will bring us, we still don't know. We'll probably stay here, but if we feel like it we might as well do something fun too. This Saturday however, I'm having brunch with the girls!!

Yeah, it is that time of the year....I have my first on Friday night! I know it sounds weird, but yeah, Friday night....I have a weekend class this semester, this is the second weekend we are meeting. Actually a good format I would say, however also not always fun since it means being in school Friday night and all Saturday...but it means that during the weeks you don't have to go to that class, which means a little more time to study.
Well, back to midterms...We have another midterm on Tuesday and then on Thursday (next week) we have a Hebrew exam and a book critique due... so I guess we know what we are doing the next couple of days...
It feels like I forgot something....I really hope not!!

The best thing?? After midterms comes fallbreak!!!!  =)

I dag är det första oktober....tiden går. Ute är det fortfarande mellan 20-25 grader varmt... Sååå skönt! En av de stora fördelarna med att vara här borta! Hoppas värmen stannar läääänge till!
