Halloween 2018

Happy Halloween!

This year, Thor and I dressed up as mommy and pommy unicorns.
I didn’t want to go all in this year, so I just went for hair and makeup along with a unicorn headband that we bought in the same store as we found Thor’s costume.
Feels kinda silly for us to dress up to just hang out with each other. Last year we went to a party at a brewery and we could have done the same or something similar this year. But to be honest, I didn’t really feel like going to a party thing where we know noone and don’t want to know anyone, hahaha. Na, this little thing I did with Thor is enough this year:)
What do you think?

Pumpkin fun – video

Fanny Sura30 October, 2018Leave a comment

We don’t have time to carve pumpkins this year (“ain’t nobody got time for that” 😛 ) so here is last year’s video from when we carved pumpkins and roasted seeds.
Pumpkin carving is a great fall activity. Just to go to a local farm and pick them out can be fun too. In the future when we have a house, I think I want to be more creative and carve something really cool and more advance than what we did in this video and I want to have lots of them:)
Anyway, I hope you’ll enjoy this.

International Coffee Day and a sick hubby

Celebrated the International Coffee Day with fun socks and sweater
…until it was too hot and I had to take it off:)

Hello! Hope you had an awesome weekend!

Yesterday was very nice. We walked over to a place nearby to get coffee and then sat in the sun on our terrace. After a few minutes up there it got really hot. Love it!
Around lunch time, Jim and I decided to go check out if there were any nice parks in Rowayton. We’ve been to a restaurant there before but never explored the area. Found a beach, Bayley Beach, that we could hang out for a little bit until we both wanted lunch. We picked a place through google but they didn’t have parking, so we picked a pizza place, Rowayton Pizza, across the street from it. Looked like whatever and we didn’t expect much but at least it was nice to sit outside. But wow, that pizza was great! Good choice!

When we came back home, we grabbed Thor and went for a walk downtown. We wanted to check out the new fountain they put up in Mill River Park, but they had a beer festival going on so we couldn’t get in. We just walked in a different end of the park instead.
Didn’t do much more fun yesterday. Just watched the movie The Murder on the Orient Express and then I went to bed.

Prince Thor was tired and got carried home

Jim went to bed with a runny but stuffed up nose last night and this morning he woke up sick. First thing I did when I got up was to make him tea with honey, lemon and a cinnamon stick. I forced him to drink it up before he could have coffee. And then I cut apple, banana and kiwi in pieces and added blueberries and a few raspberries to a big bowl. I served this with coconut yogurt, pumpkin seeds and chia seeds. I figured at least the kiwi could make J speed up his recovery. In the afternoon, in the halftime of the Bears game J watched, we went for a sunny walk around the block here. Other than that, we haven’t done much. I just hope J feels better and can start the new week being awesome.

Tomorrow is a new month. October, the real fall month. I feel “peppad” for this month (peppad meaning kinda excited, I just didn’t find a good English word for it, haha). We’ll see how it turns out:)
Good night!

Tonight’s blog writing spot. Teddy is here next to me instead of Thor who’s watching TV with Jim:)

Election in Sweden 2018

Fanny Sura9 September, 2018Leave a comment

It’s been a pretty soft weekend. Yesterday we went on a little 4 mile hike with Thor in the Mianus River Park. We walked a different way than we usually do which was pretty nice. It has been a bit colder temperatures this weekend which is good for Thor when it comes to long walks.
Today, I have been helping out to feed the neighbors cat, we went for brunch at the diner next door and then I went to the gym before the Election in Sweden started.

I sent my vote, with two witness signatures from hubby and his father, by mail last Monday. I was worried it wouldn’t get there on time, but then I found out that the votes from us in other countries are not counted until the 12th. Votes by mail from abroad can come in as late as tomorrow, even though the election was today. Weird and I don’t really understand why, but that probably guarantees that my vote will get there on time. We started streaming the election on Jim’s computer connected to the TV by 2pm (Swedish time 8pm, when the voting stopped). Five hours later, I’m still confused and there’s no real results. Now they are actually waiting for my vote (and all the votes from other countries) to come in and then it could be two weeks or maybe more before we know what’s going to happen the next four years.

I don’t like to write about politics here, so…I’m done..
I just hope that everyone who could vote, did!

And now we went from the Swedish election to beers and the Chicago Bears first game. And tomorrow, my sister and her guy is here!!
