Ok, so today surprisingly I woke up before Finn and Ole!!! My body clock is set to wake up at like 6:30 now, and they didn't wake up till 7! it was amazing!! So I got ready for the day and then layed back down for a little bit until the boys woke up! It was pretty nice actually. When the boys woke up, Ulli asked if I would get them ready for the day so I started at work. Ole was stinky so I got him ready first, then attempted to get Finn ready--boy did that NOT work!! He threw a fit the whole time saying that "mama said i don't have to do everything!!" He didn't want to brush his teeth, or put his clothes or socks on or his glasses or anything. It was a nightmare! But, Stefan told him he HAD to, and he had to listen to me so after about 20 minutes of fighting he was ready. We ate... schokomussli... then I headed out the door with Ole, Finn, and Stefan to take them to playgroup and kindergarten. I didn't get very far! Ole decided that he wanted to ride on the bobbycar, but he sat down on it and it was wet! So I took him in the house, changed his clothes and everything and Stefan took Finn to kindergarten and then came back and picked up Ole and me. Then we headed to whatever town Ole's playgroup is in, and dropped him off.
When I got home, Stefan told me I had free time to do whatever I liked for a few hours. I decided I would watch "the Secret Life of the American Teenager" because I kinda really like that show and the new season just started!! :) I went on ABCfamily.com only to find out that I wasn't allowed to watch it! Stupid rule that they have says that because of Legal issues shows on ABCfamily aren't allowed for viewing outside of the USA... SO I headed to youtube and found it! :) Then I finished the movie I began watching last night and decided I was too tired to finish(what women want--it was really good actually!) and then went with Stefan to get the kids!
Ole was extremely tired when we picked him up, so we got home and I got him ready for bed then helped Stefan make pancakes for lunch--they are definitely different than at home. Here the pancakes he made are more like our crepes--but of course they have crepes here too!!!
Ole woke up and ate his food, and then Ulli, Ole, Finn and I all headed to Ikea!! It's like AMAZING there! I love it!!! It's huge! They have like 3 different parking garages(like the multi-level ones we have!) with at least 3 levels each--and it was STILL hard to find a parking space, but the store is so HUGE that it really didn't seem that crowded. We bought me a new pillow(thank goodness--the old one has made my neck really really sore!) and a few other things and headed home. Ulli was kinda disappointed she really wanted to get me some pillows for my bed during the day, but didn't like any here so she said we'll go to france and find some(apparently she knows a really great store about an hour and a half away that has great pillows and such....)
When we got home Stefan asked me if I wanted to go to REWE with him(the grocery store) so Ole, Stefan and I went and got bread and meat for dinner while Ulli was doing who knows what and Finn was at the neighbors showing them the cool stuffed rat he got for his birthday from Ikea(they have a cute little thing where if you sign up for this certain membership the kids get a free present for their birthdays)
After dinner and getting the boys ready for bed, I gave Ulli and Stefan their gifts. My mom crocheted their name for them(and it's amazing!) and I brought them a Utah book(erik dowdel paintings) and a cookbook from my ward and some measuring cups! They loved them! I was so happy!!!
