Shopping day.

Today we went shopping and bought lots of candles, a couple of cheap bathroom hand towels for the downstair's bathroom, some durable, plastic, reusable food containers for Leia, and a few odd things like that. :) Then we did a little grocery shopping.

It is nice with Leia napping later in the day now, so we can get things done in the morning. :) We came home and she napped her 3 hours. During that time, I sent some stuff to my Swedish teacher, and then I looked up about 10 Swedish words that all mean "scream." :T It is difficult to figure out the different ways to use words that all mean the same thing, like: yell, shout, scream, etc..
You have to have examples of each word, to learn how to use them, because they all mean the same thing. The joys of learning a language !

We carried the last piece of outdoor furniture to the garage, looked around in the yard down the hill, and tried to figure out what to do with the overgrown grass on the hill. The neighbor (gray/blue) house can get us a birch tree, and we are thinking of a couple of apple trees too. To provide some shade and hopefully help things not grow so much. We want to start with that and then see how it looks and what we will have to do from there.

And we talked about trying to have the city repave the sidewalk that should be connected to our property. There used to be one, but it is gone now... The neighbor (gray/blue) house said that he talked to someone too, about getting it fixed, but "they" (the commune) said that there is no plans for a sidewalk there. Who stops paving a sidwalk halfway down a street..?!?! Seriously. So. Fredrik has been looking up our property plans at work.. his job can come in handy! :) Once he has the right papers, we hope to get something done about it.. to make them fix it so that it looks better. Fredrik can even offer to measure it for them for free, to cut down on cost or whatnot. But he's having trouble finding the right documents. :/ So that is on one of his to-do lists. :/ :)

Seems like all the fireplace fixing people are in Säffle. :/ :) Still trying to get that organized.

While she slept, we took in all the summer gardening stuff, repotted plants and put them inside. Put out a few Winter plants.. things like that.

We need to order pellets.. :/

Now the blog entry is starting to sound like my own personal to-do list.. :P :)

Hmmm...
Leia stands to poop now.. :/ Wondering if we should use this as a time to start potty training her. Not something I am looking forward to. :/ :) I've potty trained plenty of other people's children...... :/ :) Someone else should potty train Leia !! :))

The sun actually shone today. :) (First time in a month?) It was early evening. :) So after dinner, since it was nice and dried the grass up a little, Fredrik mowed. He hopes it will be the last time of the year, but I doubt it. :/

But now I want to go to bed.. :P Leia was up a little earlier than normal this morning (at 6), and I wanna get some sleep incase she does the same tomorrow. :P
