A few things, finds and happenings lately:

1. Monday September 21th was the first day with morning frost in my area. It was beautiful and cold! And a reminder to go looking for those thicker jackets; in the mornings we really need them. (Just a few minutes after I took this photo the sun was covered in clouds again; so glad I managed to get the gorgeous light of the early morning.)

2. I love going to IKEA, but why on earth do they have to make their packages so heavy??! Some of us are not bodybuilders… (yea, I know, it’s a shock!) I had so much trouble getting them on to the trolley all by my self. I guess I looked kind of funny struggling with package after package of the Billy shelves kind. When we got to the car I had to unwrap each package (almost) and put the items in one by one to fit it all in the car. It took forever, and MT nicely pointed out: “Mummy, your face is red! Hihi..”. Very kind of you, kiddo! (He was right, though.).

3. I placed my first 4 boxes in our new house last Friday (September 18th). They were filled with books from my office. Can’t wait to go there and put the shelves together and start putting the books into them. My goal is to get the home office up and running as soon as possible. Here is a few photos of the room where I want my office to be :

4. MT took the bus home on Monday and Wednesday, all by himself. I’m so proud of him! Monday morning he was so close not to do it, since I wasn’t going to be there putting him on the right bus and all (some of the point of him taking the bus is for me not to drive the car up there in the first place.. ahem.). Imagen how happy he was running towards me from the bus stop by our house. He did it. (with a bit of help from his teacher and the bus driver, but still). He’s going to take the bus this few last days at this place, when we move to the new place we are living even closer to the school than here…

5. I get a little scared when I think that my brother is coming here with his truck to help me move (most of) the furniture to our new home in just a couple of days . Eeek. I’m packing books and glaswear, hoping to get the most important stuff to our new home now (we can always get the other stuff later…).It’s making me a bit stressed out to be honest, but I can’t wait to start putting it all together in our new home!!
