Outside sleeping

For anyone worried about Emma sleeping outside at school...today she's home with me and after a while of trying to get her to sleep in her bed she asked me to put her outside in her stroller. She was asleep in less than five minutes!

Smörgåstårta according to Johnny

This is a Swedish cake called smörgåstårta. It is essentially a big sandwich with lots of mayo, different meats, shellfish types, and served cold.  At work they serve this for celebration or special holidays.

Overall, I don't care that much for it. I find it to have too much mayo and it doesn't look appealing to me. I really need to introduce them to a Chicago Italian beef sandwich...

Johnny's Trip to Germany

I will be coming home today from Bad Honnef, Germany.  Germany is a beautiful country and it looks very similar to Sweden, the main differences are the just the houses, customs, and some food of course. 

It also still admazes me how many different languages are in Europe. Countries the size of states have there own language and it just blows my mind. I literally can drive about 3 to 5 hours in one direction and need to learn a whole new language. The good news is English (Queens tongues) is the common language... Blame England, not USA on this one :) 

I will need to bring Kathleen here next time...














Olivia's Julfest

Last night Olivia had her Julfest at school and she got to show me what she has been working on and then they all sang some Swedish and English Christmas songs.
