IF YOU WERE HERE FOR TEA.

*  It would actually be coffee and it would have a swig of Baileys in it. 

*  The glory of a good pair of sneaks has been discovered/re established on this trip.  Both Em and Shannon have purchased shoes of the athletic variety and are in agreement that they are the best thing ever.  Can you guess who's shoes are who's?! 

*  We are having another lazy day in Malmo.  Gotta rest up for tonight's game against Slovakia. Yes, WE GOT TICKETS!!!!!  (Meaning another afternoon of sign-making is on the agenda too!)

*  Speaking of sign-making, it seems I have a really odd sense of humour in comparison to my trip-mates (shout out to Steve Q?!).  Nobody agrees with me regarding my three very awesome sign ideas.  Idea #1 - What did the fox say? CAN CAN CAN CAN CAN CAN CAN.  Idea #2 - CAN you feel the love tonight?  Idea #3 - Nobody puts baby in the CONNOR!  Ha!!!!!!  It seem these won't be coming to fruition, but please know that they make me laugh hysterically and if it were up to only me, we would be using them!

*  Since the trip began, Phil and I have become big "white noise" fans.  Nothing makes you sleep soundly in the downtown core like a pretend oscillating fan ;)

*  Have you ever watched Disney's "Dog With A Blog"?  If not, please add it to your MUST WATCH list.  The acting is exactly the way I like it (terrible) and if you hold out til the last few seconds, you'll witness the wise pup typing at a desktop :)

*  Sliding doors rule.  I'm not talking about the ones that separate the inside of your house from the outside of your house, but rather the ones that separate the inside of your house from the inside of your house.  The current hotel has one as the bathroom door and it's a real gem with a baby around.  Fingers don't get slammed or caught and it maximizes the play space available for N.  IDEAL is the choice word here.

*  Nory is all of a sudden all about holding your hands and walking about.  And sometimes, she doesn't even hold your hands!!! This morning she hit her all-time record of 11 unassisted steps!!!! You can bet there were some wet eyes around the room ;)

*  This is my first time blogging via iPhone app. Gem's confidence with the process has inspired me to give it a whirl.  WHIRL!!!!!
