Halloween Party

Saga and I hosted a Halloween Party this afternoon. We invited four friends and their mothers. Many activities were planned and fun was had by all. Pumpkin painting and cookie decorating were just a few of the exciting events.




The pirate Magdalena and her little kitten Klara.


Saga enjoying her candy, not so into the cookies.



Ulrika the witch (not really, she is the best) and her little princess Elin.

Minna the bear and her little Tiger Vilgot. Spiderman is little Axel.

My little cat fairy .

The sweet girls

Axel boiling his moose skull. He shot this one a few weekends ago. He boils it to clean off all the dirt and yuck so he can hang it on the wall, o boy.

Saga and Elin at Elin's birthday party.

Klara has baby chickens, and Saga got to hold them and actually get in the cage with them, fun.

Axel took a trip to the tannery to pick up animal skins he had taken there a year ago. Here is Saga playing in a pile of fox furs.

We've been dealing with the normal fall sicknesses here. Tomorrow Axel and I are going to a 30th birthday party, and Saga is staying the night at farmors. Have a great weekend!

September Pictures

September has been BUSY!!! We've been so busy that I haven't even taken that many pictures.



Saga wanted to practice for Halloween, so here she is as a fairy cat.


Last Sunday we helped out some friends of the family pick potatoes. I think it's really fun, and this year it was made much easier due to a new sort of machine which dug up the potatoes. We just had to follow after the tractor and pick them up. Saga had fun as well.



Elin looking for the ones left behind.

We have had some pretty amazing mushrooms this Fall. These are a few of the many red and white mushrooms we've found around our house.

Axel walked down the road to shoot a bird he saw when coming home that day. Saga and I followed and we're happily surprised when he emerged from the woods with this bird in hand.

We spent a few days at Helena's parents' house a few hours south of Luleå. They have this statue in their front room. Of course Saga tried to ride on it but she was quickly taken off.



Papa the prince Saga the princess

Here we are at Klara's Princess Party. She turned 3 at the beginning of Sept. We've been spending lots of time with Klara this month. We go swimming together once a week and try to find other ways to play throughout the week.
