November 5, 2006

Another late morning. Ate a quick breakfast then got dressed and headed to the park with the kids and the new soccer ball. The park is just one block down. Nice big open spaces - we played soccer. There is also a nice playground there. Tipton's favorite thing was a kind of see-saw that spins around. Lilli liked it, too. After the playground we played some more soccer. Then home for lunch. Fed the kids nuggets. Tipton wouldn't eat his until I told him there were like the ones from Wendy's - then he loved them. Lilli didn't eat. Dave and I had frozen pizza. After lunch we drove to Nova Lund (a big mall in Lund.) Found 2 winter suits/coats for Lilli. One is really cute and warm. The other is waterproof and has reflective strips. Then I drove home - my first time driving in Sweden!) made spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. Pretty good - used swedish meatballs, ha ha! Conviced/threatened Tipton to eat his buttered noodles and two bites of meatball. Lilli wouldn't eat anything. Made her a grilled cheese, but she wouldn't eat that either. We've decided to "back" the kids into the time change. So tonight we're not going to put them to bed until 10:00. Then hopefully Lilli won't keep me up for hours in the middle of the night. (Especially since Dave has to go to work tomorrow!) It's only 6:30 now - it's going to be a long evening. But hopefully the fresh air at the park and the later bedtime will help them to sleep.

Day 3: Things I've learned
1) Lilli wears a size 80 (or the next size down) in snow suits.
2) ugn = oven in swedish
3) How to get to/from the mall in Lund
