Promised pictures

Our house and the family

Seriously... again?

Sophia has been extra cranky lately - especially today.
So I force her mouth open (with love - of course) and there two new teeth are breaking through the skin (the most painful part).
It's the two vampire teeth. That makes 3 teeth in a WEEK.

Pobrecita. We're at 13 teeth now and she's 13 month.

Today I am making pizza cupcakes. I bought a cheese that I thought looked tasty - it isn't. So well, the cupcakes are for others to enjoy.

I will upload a few pictures from my phone in a separate post since it doesn't work to transfer them.

Not only did i make a wonderful fish in butter and herb sauce for lunch for sophia, i am also making breakfast cupcakes (oats, strawberries ans yoghurt) and frozenyoghurt dots for sophia!

It's only 12.30.

Today my dad turns 53, grattis pappa!

A new week

Means new oportunities.
I was busy with some spanish-english translation a friend needed help with yesterday, and we also did this thing where we planned our weeks meals (in details) and then went grocery shopping.
Not only did we choose some amazing recipes, but it also turned out cheaper than usually.

We're starting with Monterey chicken and a salad today (like chili's), and i also made toddler muffins (banana,carrot, zuccini and full weath - no sugar) for sophia of course.

Other things on the menu are baked sweet and sour chicken, zuccini pizza, frozen yoghurr drops (for sophia) and some other surprises.

I am so hungry!

We spent half a day at the pool on sunday, lunch with gabriel and family time.
Saturday we had a mini jibs reunoion - Ale, aaron and i - partners too of course.
We had lunch with kristin and aaron - had a blue cheese bacon burger at chili's it was freakin amazing.

Wow.... I am excited about what this week holds

Disaster

Sophia took disaster to a new level yesterday, diaper-free day turned into HELL.

I was picking up poop from all over the upper floor, had to go rounds to see where the wet yellow puddles were.
When she finally peed in the potty she turned it upside down over our bed - on my side - then continued to push a coke bottle over - on which the cap wasn't on properly and coke was sprayed ALL OVER.

But we will continue with diaper-free days.
It will work

Finally

I can finally say that the water now works, a man was here all afternoon yesterday fixing it

Yay! The laundry machine is going warm and i will take a shower later!

Yesterday i had the girls over for some french, and today i am going for a fika with Kristin (another swedish girl, Aarons girlfriend).

We're also having a diaper free day... Only one minor incident so far

Happy day

Internet is working
Water is flowing
And my cousin announced he will be a father soon - how amazing.
We just got back from the plaground and it is sophiad nap time

Short

Happiness was short
Water is out again.... This means no internet and no water (at all)
Fun times

Clean

Positive:
I am clean, the water is fixed
Negative:
Internet is shit
But we are enjoying.
The weather is perfect, a bit  chilly in the mornings. We want to go to chapala, and hopefully will in the weekend.
Next weekend we hope to go to vallarta.
And lets see if we can get me a drivers license next week.

Frustration

Not only did Sophia wake up at 5 this morning, but warm water is still a highly scarce resource (2 showers since I came - imagine) and our home improvement project of the day was a complete and utter failure (the shelf did not fit on the space where we tried to put it).

Other than that my little princess fell pretty badly in the morning and has been acting cranky all day.

Other than that I mopped the looks three times in the kitchen, and cooked an amazingly good lunch.

israelian salad and oven baked Parmesan and paprika chicken - mums!

More

Maybe one at a time

From my phone only

Working?

Fail

I have been trying to upload a post for over a day - it is full of pictures.
I could have done it from the computer - but i cant even send them in an email.

Normal

Things are running smooth at the moment.

Internet is up and running
Warm water too
Birthday party plans amd preparations for tomorrow done
Sophias room is almost done

It's friday, lets celebrate

Mexico 3.0

We are here.
Back to summer.
This time we have an amazing house and i will get my drivers license so i can get around.
I also have a new phone.

Other than meeting up witg Aaron (friend from jibs) and his girl Kristin for lunch we've kept it simple.

Here are a few photos

It's time

It's once again time for me to leave the only place that is home to me.
It is once again time for me to leave the people I love most in this world, the people I know the best, and the people whom I know I can trust.

It's always scary. I always feel I am making a mistake - which considering history, I could be making.
But I need to give this a 5th chance, Sophia deserves and needs that.

Once again I say bye, cry, breath deeply and try to convince myself everything is Ok. I will always come back here.

Wish me the best of luck travelling with a toddler who is teething, is in constant motion and has the mood of an (already) emotional woman pmsing.

See you in Mexico

Day before the day before the day

Soon we leave.
Que triste

Bought the fabric for Sophia's curtain today. Super happy with it. Also bought her a helmet. She has a tendency to throw herself backwards when she is upset. And since our new house only contains stone floors, we thought it was smart to protect that little head of hers.

I need to go organise all the clothes I borrowed this fall - fold, put in boxes.

Fun times.

Back with some media

A lot has happened over the vacation.

Trips were made successfully
Lies were discovered - again
Snowboarding
Wine drinking
Pulka-ing
and now a quick return to normal before going to Mexico... (three dots into eternity, and the dum-dum-dum sound - going low not high of course)

so here are a few things from the Ipad over the past few weeks. Images and videos from the camera will be uploaded when I am with the camera again.
