a real weekend

i think this just might be the first weekend in two months that we both have been off work and home.  so nice to have a real weekend. (okay so thomas had to work sunday night, but we will take what we can get).  spent saturday cleaning, and playing in the garden,  the girls admired our first tomatoes of the season before they downed them.  yum.  cannot wait for more!

zoe loves picking the sugar peas in the greenhouse.  nice and fresh and oh so yummy!

and sweet little eijla, she always wants to help water the plants, but luckily they are finally getting big enough that she does not destroy them with her vicious water methods so much anymore.  still, i adore my little helper.

since thomas has been working very long nights, his clock is all off, not to mention he is sleep deprived, so he slept most of the day, but he did come out on rest and snuggle with the girls on the lawn in the afternoon.  mysigt. then on sunday farmor and farfar were able to come up for a short visit.  they brought their newly made fläder saft with them, so we filled our freezer with delicious concentrate.  mums.  after dinner, it was time for a bike ride.  zoe wanted to show them what she could do.  she is not quite there yet, but oh so near riding by herself without training wheels. (and yes, auntie zita, she does love your black outfit afterall, stubborn monkey!).

eijla was pretty proud of her bike "riding" skills as well, as that is just what she does, ride.  has not quite figured out to pedal forward and often tries to do so backwards, which of course brakes the whole operation.  farmor did a great job pushing her along.  always nice when they can come up for a visit.  but tomorrow it is back to work.  boo hoo.
