Waiting...

After we come downstairs in the mornings, Leia takes her kitty/kitties and sets them down next to her pacifier. They sit there and patiently wait for her while she eats breakfast. She is so precise and pays great attention to make sure they are sitting the exact way she wants them. If this stool isn't there, then she sets them up on the kitchen countertop. :)

Things are going okay I suppose. Fredrik has decided to take this Friday off from work, since work is going veeeerrry slow right now. He would rather give any work to the new guy and take the time off himself. :) And then he will have vacation next week.

The guy(s) fixing the fireplace will be showing up on Monday to come and start taking it down and look at it. They will check out what they need to do and then what they will need to bring back with them to start working on it. Hopefully it won't take too long then before they can start working on it. With any luck, we hope to be able to start using it by the beginning of December. Which means that we need to start hauling firewood here from the summer house!

I start school on Monday, I still need to order my books.. blah.. gonna cost lots of money.. :/ :)) I hate buying school books. Not nearly as bad as buying university text books in the US, but still.. you never know how useful the book is going to be or how much you are going to use it and it feels like a waste of money because you'll probably never open it again after the few months that you have class.

Leia was able to play with Nils for a couple of days and his parents came to pick him up yesterday and Leia was able to play with Alice a little yesterday too..

Leia saying goodbye.


Then Leia made her way down the street to another house and she jumped in their trampoline:



She screamed quite a lot when we made her get out.. :/ :))

Hmm... and when was it.. maybe Monday I think.. They neighbor's daughter beside us, Emma, came and played with Leia and Nils. Leia was a little left out because Emma is 5 and Nils is 4, so she really couldn't do that much with them.. but she ran around with them anyways. :) Nils played mostly with Emma, but every so often he would go to Leia and give her a hug and a kiss. :))) Emma was really good with Leia too, she went home to get a sweater and brought back one of her favorite stuffed animals for Leia to play with. :)) How sweet!

Fredrik talked with his boss though, and obviously the amount of work to do is going to be getting less and less as the year comes to an end. Fredrik might also have to go up to Norrland to work up there, which isn't the end of the World. Better that he do something to earn his salary I suppose.. :P :) I think it would be fun for him though!
