Poop for Mother's day

This past Sunday was Mother's day in Sweden.

Morgan and Elliot made me very cute Mother's day cards at daycare, which I received right after I picked them up on Friday. They had no clue that they had to wait to give me those cards. =)

The past week I was allowed (ahem***) by my hubby to buy some flowers for my mother's day present myself at the flower shop. That is how I came to own those awesome Alliums.

Since we were going to eat dinner at his parent's house, we drove by the flower shop to buy some flowers for his mom. This is where I was able to buy/receive 20 liters of chicken manure for my Peonies. (I mentioned this before on my previous Peony post)

So that is how I got Poop for mother's day.

Oh yeah, Perry Pooped so much poor Kim had to change it for me. It required a plastic bag for the dirty diaper. Another bag for the soiled clothing. A big shower to get Perry clean. Then a wardrobe change.

I love Mother's day. =)

Perry walks!

It took Perry 1 day to realize walking is fun and cool, and WHAM! he is a walking machine!

The first day instead of taking 1 or 2 steps, he braved 5 steps in front of Farmor (grandma). After that, it was a cinch. At the end of 4 days, he can walk from one end of the room to the other.

Not to mention his climbing. He is like a little monkey!!! Why are all third babies, climbers? It makes no sense. He climbs anything that he can get onto, then screams since he can't get down. It is cute, but I get so worried that he'll fall. He already has a wonky head, I am afraid it'll get even more oddly shaped. haha.

I am still trying to get a good shot of him walking but they all are either boring videos or blurry pictures. Any tips???

Officially he walked 3 weeks before his 1 year old birthday. Just for the record!

Måns Zelmerlöw

As I said it before Morgan loves the Melodifestivalen/Eurovision Song contest.

This year Måns Zelmerlöw was a winner for Elliot and him. We had the pleasure to go to a shopping mall's 50 anniversary, and they had Måns performing. It was great considering we didn't have to pay for an entrance fee or anything. He sang about 4 songs, and Morgan was in heaven!!!

Elliot was also fascinated. They both sang along and crushed my arms and shoulders, since I had to carry them both so they can see his head bobbing up and down. haha.

Here is a shot of the kids and their posse enjoying a cool concert. =)

Chajang myun

SOOOOOO GOOD!

It is the equivalent to ordering chinese take out, but we call it the korean version of spaghetti. Black bean noodles.


Now that I live in Sweden I only get to eat these delicious noodles when I visit my family in NY. I can buy the instant noodle version, but it is relatively expensive and it is kinda annoying to travel into town to the Korean store here. I usually buy most of my korean groceries locally in the supermarket, all I have to do is stock up on some gochugaru and dengjang.

Since my brother is visiting he stashed a bunch of korean groceries in his luggage. I asked my mom for some chajang sauce and the noodles.

This weekend I attempted to make it myself, and honestly it tasted great! As close to the restaurant version as possible.

It's really sad that I only get to eat this once a year, but now since I have some imported goods, I can enjoy it a little bit more often. yay!

Did I mention how much cheaper and healthier it is to make it yourself?????
