Emmaljunga 2013 sneak peek

About a week ago I spent a few hours away from facebook, reading a book. When I logged on just to check my mail before bed, I had about a gazillion notifications from facebook, since someone had thoughtfully tagged me in a post where a link to the sneak peek of Emmaljunga's 2013 collection was posted...

I have waited the allotted time to re-blogg this, because, well, I've been to lazy to fire up the big 'puter. LOL. It's true, I abhor blogging from the iPad, so I don't, but this thing seriously takes over 5 minutes to get operational...

Anyhow, all my pictures comes from THIS BLOGG! and if you want more pictures, and maybe a peek at the new twin stroller/pram with individual, interchangeable seats / bassinets I suggest you go there, I'll only highlight my wet pram dream for the moment =)

This chassi looks AWESOME! Real air filled tires in the back, and big swivel wheels in front. I want this for my next child! And since that is yet a few years to come, they'll have time to perfect it =)

And I want this color! It's aptly named "Apple" and it is gorgeous! And no, this is not the actual seat, at least the hood will look different since this is a Nitro City, and I want the Edge, and this the lower part at least will be different.

But it should look something like this =) I -had- to photoshop the two pictures, and oh the gorgeousness. Not a perfect match, because the angle wasn't the same but it'll do for now =)

Midsummers Eve

I'm ready for the festivities to begin =)

Pup decided that the best way to deal with the madness was to take a nap

We had leftover leaf garlands, there were a car nearby... 'nuff said. And my accomplice, and also mastermind of the heist, was my old daycare (OK, afternoon care) lady.

Dance games around the Midsummer pole

Pup and cousin running wild.

Why have a line to dry in when you can just dry your clothes in a tree and get that wonderful pine scent for free =)

Took a round with granny's row boat.

And then we went round and round and round with his 2€ secondhand doll stroller and my inherited old doll pram (which by the way is on it's way back to the originall owners daughter after it's been cleaned up)

tivoli

This year vs last year, though the size has changed, the driving style remains...

First ride was a blue car... 

Second ride on the same carousel was a red car...

Then we took on the rollercoaster

And it was very thrilling for a little pup, who seemed very content with me holding him tight (it took so sharp turns that I had to soften the blows a bit for him)

The a ride in a white car....

Spilling some popcorn...

and then eating the rest as if the cone contained an ice cream =)

Grandma went to... check out the flowers?

Bouncing Castle, the kids passing him started out at the same time, but here they're on their 3rd run and pup's not even at the top yet =)

And down he slides. For some reason the pictures I have of him stalling at the top for 5 minutes didn't transfer, but he came down after a few attempts at persuasion by some other kids (he was in their way)

And last but not least, he drove another car.... And was completely furious afterwards when he had to stop driving and go home, he screamed and sulked half the way.

buss riding

Only drawbacks of this seat was that the harness was just about high enough not to be too low for pup, and that his feet reached to half my thighs. I have the bruises to prove it.

And if I didn't sit behind/in front of him, they just hanged straight down with no support, which he after some time showed clearly that bothered him. Here is also a better view of where the harness begins behind his shoulder.

But the view was awesome =)

Unfortunately, you'll have to wait for the zoo picture, because I thought I had forgotten my camera on the buss and used moms, only to realize back in the buss that it had been in a easy to reach pocket all the time... DOUH!

going to the zoo -2

Uhm, yeah =)
Totally forgot, tomorrow we're taking the buss to Skansen, a big sort of zoo with animals from scandinavia, they also have a monkey house, snake house and such. I hope it'll be fun.
I was going to tell you this so that you'd know you'd have some more pictures coming along soon, I just forgot in my other post *lol*

going to the zoo

Ooopsie.... Somehow, another stroller made it into our lives... Though that means one pram is for sale, so maybe it's a good thing. This is his second time sleeping in it, the first time he had his legs pulled upp so high that not even a toe came below the knee-bar =)

I haz control,  you haz to obey my command...

Embroided cards going to someone who really gave me a pick-me-up when I dearly needed it ♥

And here's pup, a few sleeps later, all stretched out. Now you see why I thought the total roll-up was hilarious =)

A Sunday morning at the beach.

 Somehow he goes completely and utterly def when told he's not allowed to throw sand/water/stones/grass...

... or that it's still too cold to swim in the water...

But oh so much fun.

You couldn't be mad even if you tried because he was so happy, just glowing.

And on the walk home he got to wear the extra clothes from the diaper bag. And yes, people do look funny at us when we come walking side by side, pushing an empty stroller each... Though, it's worth it for the times when you have to wrestle him into said stroller, strap him down and fold his pink stroller and place it between the seat and the hood, to get anywhere at all.

We also visited the newly re-opened Maritime Museum, they had a kids day. Pup liked the steering set, obviously.

The reason for the kids day was that Ruby, the ship rat mascot of the museum, celebrated her 16th birthday.

The reason I never became a sailor...

... is that I look completely ridiculous in these hats ;)

Apologizes

I'm really, really sorry! I have entered this blogsite plenty of times, just to leave without posting. Right now I think it's understandable, since the laptop is with D at work until the end of June, the big 'puter is for some reason not connected to the new router, thus leaving me with the iPad which is such a joy when it's intent on changing every f-ing word I write... So, until I find some Way to get the 'puter to speak with the modem, or maybe the stone age laptop that is stuffed away somewhere, you'll just have to live with this. Also, I can not load pictures fr.o.m. The pad and I sincerely hate that!
