Wilmington- Wrightsville Beach

Wrightsville beach, NC den 25 oktober

Efter att vi fick det gladjande beskedet att fotbollen var installd packade vi frenetiskt. Henrik forsokte hitta ett bra hotell men gav tillslut upp och vi skickade en fortrupp i form av familjen Grufstedt. Nar de var pa plats hittade de ett suites* hotell precis vid stranden. Det ingick aven husdjur i form av kackerlackor fast dem upptackte vi inte forran vid laggdags.

Det blaste riktigt friska vindar och vagorna var ett par meter hoga sa barnen byggde sandslott medan papporna badade. Jag njot mest av havsluften och vidderna.

Pa kvallen at vi middag med familjen Hansson-Astrom som ocksa flytt inlandet for kusten.

Sondagen borjade med frukost pa ett litet dinerhak i marinan. Tydligen valdigt poppis eftersom vi fick vanta i nastan 30 minuter pa ett bord. Klassisk amerikansk frukost med omelett, pancakes, biscuits, toast, hash browns och bacon. Sa gott och mattande nog for att vi skulle overleva utan lunch.

Efter frukost stannade vi vid en liten butik som salde solstolar, surfbrador, turist t-shits mm.? Alla tre badpojkarna i familjen skulle ha var sin body board. Nar det hade botaniserats fardig och var dags for betalning stod jag och barnen vid utgangen. In kommer *trumvirvel* Brooke Shields!!! Joda minsann, inte vilken liten kandis som helst. Vi halsar pa varandra som man gor har i sodern och jag kanner att vi bondar. Kan meddela att hon kopte Ginger Ale medan hennes manlige sallskap kopte ol. Och hon ar ursnygg.

Efter denna euforiska stund akte vi till stranden och hade en av de basta dagarna nagonsin. Papporna surfade, barnen bara lekte och mammorna njot.

Fortsattning foljer...

Jag kommer lagga ut bilderna pa picasa och lanka harifran.

On request

Henrik thinks that I have become a blog-slacker. He nags on me to update the blog and now he has given me a time frame of twenty minutes (that is before House starts on Fox) to do it. Or else? I don't know...

Last Thursday the Vikings played their first game in the final tournament. They played a great game and won with a convincing 5-2. They were supposed to play the semifinals on Saturday afternoon.

On Friday evening we dropped the kids off at Mia and Johan. We had bought great tickets to see Little Big Town and Carrie Underwood in Winston Salem. There were a lot(a lot!!!) off snake skin boots, big hairdo's, silly mustaches and plaid shirts. The concert was OK, she hasn't given out more than two records so there was not much material to choose from.
When we got back to Greensboro we found Sixten sound asleep and Filip not at all asleep watching TV. It was a late night for all of us so we gladly slept in a little on Saturday.

And the happiest news of the day was that it was raining. No soccer game ,yeah. Lets pack our bags and head for the coast instead.

En riktigt bra dag

Visst kan vissa dagar kannas ok och man ar ganska nojd nar sangen hagrar. Men sa finns det DAGAR. De dagar da allt bara klaffar och allt ar pa topp. Idag ar en sadan dag.
Sista tennismatchen for sasongen mot och pa plats hos Lake Jeanette. Jag skulle spela pa court 2(vi spelar 5 dubbelmatcher samtidigt) tillsammans med Eva. Min forhoppning var att denna sista avslutande match fa spela pa court 5 sa att jag skulle ha chansen att fa EN vinst pa sasongen.
Ja ja Eva hade mott vart motstandarpar tidigare under sasongen och da forlorat. Mitt mantra var en boll i taget ..en boll i taget..en boll i taget. Forsta set vann vi med 6-1! Vi forstod inte riktigt vad som hande men motstandarna spelade valdigt okoncentrerat och underskattade oss. Andra set kom det tillbaka och vann med 6-4. Ett tredje och avgorande set hade vi framfor oss. Jag ville vinna Eva ville vinna och visst vann vi. 7-5 i avgorande set och gladjetjut. Vilken kansla, det har med att vinna borde jag gora oftare.

Eftersom matcherna spelades en bra bit hemifran fick Henrik aran att leka hemmafru och skjutsa diverse barn till skola. Idag var det ocksa early release sa Sixten slutade 11.45 och Filip 12.30. Sixten hade Fire Day pa preschool och kom hem med en rod branmanshjalm pa huvudet.

Nyduschad och med packad picnicvaska motte vi upp med Eva, Agnes, Isak, Helena, Sofia, Amanda, AnnaLena, Jonathan, Felicia, Elin, Karen, Tess, Elli, Sandra, Gustav och Kajsa i Gibson Park. Solen stralade och barnen harjade pa lekplatsen. Efter fika sa tog vi en skogspromenad runt sjon.

Nu vantar vi pa Henrik som skall komma hem med middagen.

homework

The letter of the week is S. We have been writing s-words and coloring pictures starting with S. The task for tomorrow was to draw and write three things starting with an S. How lucky isn't Filip that his favourite girl has a name that starts with an S.

My contribution to the S-week was going to the Spa and getting a Swedish massage.

A baby is born

Yesterday a beautiful baby boy was born in Sweden. Congratulations Magnus an Ulrika to your son. Filip has decided that you should name him Svante just so you know.

Look forward to see y'all in November!

An ordinary Saturday night

Some people have cosy dinners with dear friends. Some people gather in the comfy sofa with snacks and watch the Saturday night TV shows.

Some people dress up like Superheroes.

We went to Partycity to find our costumes for Halloween. Filip has gone from Batman to Darth Vader to Jack Sparrow to Luke Skywalker back to Batman again to the Joker before he finally decided that this year he should be a Ninja.

Sixten wanted to be Robin from the day the he first looked through the catalogues.

Why I ended up as Batgirl? I don't really have a clue.

A good deed

Tonight it was Family night at Moe's Southwest. It was the school that Filip attends that organized the event. A portion of the money we all spent there tonight was given to the school. The food was okay the table side magician was quite uninteresting.

and by the way

The Vikings played 3-3 today.

Time to go, must wrap Henriks birthday present. It is too big to put in a gift bag...

Another game

Yesterday it was a make-up game for last weeks game that was rained in. The Vikings took on the Red Devils and it was such a great game. Both teams played really well and we cheered really well along the side line as well. The final score was unfortunately 4-2 to the Devils.

Filip played really good and he was so proud when we drove home. There is another game tonight so I hope he keeps his spirit up.

I was supposed to play tennis yesterday morning against Hamilton Lakes. But due to many circumstances the matches were delayed and postponed and now the team captains are not seeing eye to eye. Lots of ruffled feathers and I love the housewife drama.
So instead of hopefully winning on court I had four 4!!! hours all to my self. I folded laundry, cleaned the kids bathroom, cleaned up all knick-knacks around the house and had my lunch with my new In Style
