decorations

X'Mas is coming soon, at home we have already made the Tree and today I have added the Epifany socks.
We hang at home before X'Mas so that if during this period some little treat or sourprise comes out I put inside the socks waiting for the 6 january and nobody is allowed to peep inside ; )

genkan ...

Since we moved here we left so many things to do like for example the big wardrobe in the entrance which lacked of a section. I couldn't assemble because there was a light very useful getting inside home, I had to get the electric cable longer and I always forgot to. Yesterday we went to Leroy Merlin store and got the cable so I could put the light bulb near the entrance door so that the light is much better and I have space enough to assemble the wardrobe ;)
This morning after having taken Momochan to kindergarden, I came home and started to assemble the wardrobe, luckily it has been easier than I thought and before14.00 PM wardrobe was assembled, entrance door was painted in white and all floors were cleaned and washed, now house is really kawaii, clean and neat and we have more space to use ;)
When I came home with Momochan at 16.30 and she saw the wardrobe and the white door she said: "jouzu mummy, I like it !" WOW ;)

laundry ....

For a problem with the Electric Company, yesterday morning we awakened without electricity.

When we moved to the new house we are living inside now, I called the electric society to inform them I was living here and to tell to make a new contract with my name. Yesterday I discovered they have never done, the ownerr of the house discovered he was still paying electricity and closed the contract so we remained with no electricity ! no fridge working, all the shopping inside to throw away, no television in the evening, sleeping time at 20.30 because it was dark and we could not see !!! shower cold because without electricity water cannot get warm, cell phone obviously I could not charge and computer was not working ! a complete disarster !

Momochan's room (follow)

WEEEE !!! finally we have the new bed ! This morning, togather with mommy, after having taken Momochan to kindergarden, I have gone Ikea store to buy the new bed for Momochan :) <

Ayway we would have bought in a couple of months because Momo is growing and her baby bed is becoming too short and we also need a bedd for granny whenever she comes to us so we have bought:
nr. 1 MYDAL bunk bed frame
nr. 2 JÖMNA spring mattresses

nr. 2 VITAMINER VIMPEL duvet cover and pillow

nr. 2 DVALA fitted sheets with elastic corners

nr. 1 SUNDVIK children table in exchange on her two old red Lack squared ones. 

Once home I had to assemble the table and the bed, luckily mommy could help because it would have been impossibile all by myself, the result you can see, Momochan is very proud of her new bed and she amuses to climb on the upper bed to read, play and hide, all the room and half of the house smell like a pine forest HAHA and her room is now really cute and comfortable also for granny.
Now Momochan has the room she wanted so  much and we couldn 't give her last year, she has her private wardrobe, her bed and toys, she can play in our livingroom but whenever she wants to stay quiet and needs her space she has now her own place and her her things are all in the same place and not around the house, her bedroom is a new space where she can grow and imagine ;)

Momochan's room :)

We are still making tentatifs  oarrange Momochan's bedroom, to find a solution to have the more space possibile for her to jump and play and have everything she need, also we need a new bed for her and something that granny can use when she comes to us. A solution would be a bunk bed frame so we have thought at MYDAL, maybe I can go to buy it in a couple of days with mum at Ikea nearest store.

For the moment Momchan amuses to jump on granny's temporary bed and play with her small cars on the rung I have put in front :)

Christmas dinner :)

We have an appointment at 20.30 to aunt and oncle house for dinner with our parents. Momochan is happy because she knows Santa Claus has taken some other presents for her and she guess in a box there will be a special one she waits since last year: a small kid pc she can take everywhere and learn colours, how to read and write words, english words and much more. (We have found this Clementoni Clem Touch Plus on the web at a reduced price and we have bought on Amazon a few days ago for her, it has a tons of small cassettes to play, it is sufficient you buy some other cassetts and you can change game, the folder of the small pc can contain four of them and once closed protects the pc in case of falling on the floor). Last year Momochan was too small to play with it also I did not found it anywhere and price was double than what I found now so now is more convenient in both cases :)

Momochan is really happy about her presents, she has had many. With that toy she will be able to learn how to write and read and she will use for long time :)

new table and stool :)

This evening Momochan and I have a new occasion to celebrate: the first dinner inside the new kitchen with the new table !!!
Granny today has taken me to Ikea store to buy our X'Mas present in advance and, as period is what it is, and is best to give something useful instead of something to waste, we decided it was great to have the table Melltorp and two stool Marius, all white :)
For us is best to eat in the kitchen as we did before but now our table is in the living room so the kitchen needed a new one, eventually smaller we can use to prepare breackfast, to have space more when we will invite freinds for dinner, to leave some food and table prepared for Sampei when he comes back home in the night and in every other occasion :)

Give a look atour old table in the livingroom now, he has a perfect corner where we can eat in particular occasions or use to write and colour, use pc and make puzzles alltogather :)

x'mas tree :)

We have decorated our new Ikea X'mas Tree, Momochan has helped with little spheres and snow flakes and at last she has put the star on the top :)

House is strange, not much decorated because is so big but anyway we have some decoration here and there :)

let it snow let it snow :)

It' s a holiday season ... let it snow, let it snow, let it snow !!!

I am sitting on the sofa in the new livingroom, we have prepared the X'mas Tree and right now Momochan is taking a nap in her new bedroom, outside meanwhile since half an hour is snowing !!! WOW

Yesterday the sky was totally blue without any cloud but during the night the sky have been covered by a thick cloudy mattress and today after long time thinking, it has begun snowing. Soft tiny flakes fall down from the sky freezing everywhere, guess up inthe mountains already people ski like every year in this starting ski season. While I am wrintig the vases on my balcony are covering with a light snow "blanket", if it will go on like this tomorrow we will have opportunity to make snowmen :)

When Momochan will awake we will do pop-corn and watch cartoon on tv, do puzzles, sing and dance X'mas songs.

name day :)

When we came home at six, daddy was already inside, he had finished work and has gone supermarket for shopping. Granny would have arrived in short time.

While Momochan was playing and daddy cooking I prepared the table then granny arrived.

Daddy prepared rice and potatoes, I cooked inside oven a roast with oter veggies and as you see in the foto, cake is a strudel we served with whippedd cream and berries :) also Momochan had a slice and said it was delicious.

here we are in the new house :)

Here we are, the moving is finishedand we definitely live in the new house. Still there is much to personalize like hanging curtains, putting some plants for green inside, decorating in general, buying the new little table to eat inside the kitchen as before, buy the new cabinet to put over the sink with dishes rack inside, putting rugs in Momochan's bedroom and in the middle between tv set and sofa ...

We are still feeling strange here, I do not consider this house as my house, not yet, sensation is really strange, we love this house but still is not yet "our house" still lacks of something I do not know what it is.

Momochan loves her new bedroom, we are feeling strange in our one because we have not had the possibility to take our enormous wardrobe with us, it was too old and too big so we have some plastic boxes with our belongings inside.

I like to stay in the livingroom and look outside, from there I can see the street under us, I can hear ducks, see the houses in front, people passing by, is so funny, before in the old house, I could only look outside in the distance or down in the garden, here I can see an entire small world.

I have taken my flowers and plants and hanged outside on the balcony, next spring Momochan and I will go to buy new coloured flowers to put outside (orange, yellow, blue, pink peonies, a lemon tree ...)  my special old watch hangs on the wall over the entrance door and sings every hour with a different X'mas music (now ducks are singing) I can seat on the sofa with a cup of tea and rest, now we have repaired the roller shutter and livingroom now is lighted by natural light :) here are some of the fotos we have taken at home theese days :)

dinner in the new house

dinner in the new house

Finally Momochan can have her dinner in the new house like before even if for the moment we do not have a table inside the kitchen and she has to eat in the party coner in the livingroom :)

Momo likes it because this way she can watch tv while eating, sometimes I leave her look cartoons in case we are late for some reason so she can eat by herself and have fun while I prepare like every evening, her bed, pijama, milk bottle (now that we have kitchen I can prepare hor milk like before using the microwave).

atarashii uchi :)

After so long time, our famly has a new house :)

Just at the last moment, the last week we had on disposable we found an apartment perfect for us so our family ha now a bigger home to live in, 100 meters, two bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and livingroom, Momochan is now so happy because now she has a bedroom all for herself and so much space to run and play. I guess for a little time she will continue sleeping with us and play in her room, maybe the afternoon nap can be madde in her new bedroom too but is best she can have some time to get accustomed to the new house, she has never slept alone and as house is bigger she may not get accustomed just in a few days, however she will tell us :)

We will have to get accustomed too and after the moving I will have to organize, clean and put everything in the right place, and after when everything will be ok I will have to refresh the walls of the entire house painting in white every room :)

I will have to reorganize and think how to put the new kitchen which is smaller than the one we have now, table we will have in the living room so that we can have party and as the bedrooms are the opposite side of the entrance when Momochan will sleep we can have friends or see films on tv without disturbing her sleep :)

Soon I put new fotos as soon as house will be claned and furnished and the next spring Momichan and I will fill the balcony with new flowers and plants :)

livingroom

Finally after so long time we have again our livingroom tidy and perfect.

While Momichan is sleeping I can clean around and take away the old horrid curtains we already had for many years. Now livingroom seems really new, nothing like before, doesn't seem my house either HAHAHA

Momichan has now her corner so clean and comfortable and also we can finally open the window so that we can have some fresh air, in the evening here while watching tv is really suffocating !

bottles

During the night Momichan still wants her bottle filled with milk ! well she will have to give away but in the meantime to keep them tidy I am using a fishes acquarium box in which I drop some cleaner to keep bottles sterilized. Is much better than the stupid electric sterilizer I had from Chicco when she was small, if I knew I would have bought before ^^
