Before the game we met Maria Joy,

We walked over and managed to only be 10 minutes late, which actually is quite good as I tend to be quite late every game. There is something wrong with me and punctuality after I had Nicholas. I just can't seem to be anywhere on time!
Nicho and I usually sit inside the restaurant during the game, in the beginning this was because he was so little, and the noise outside is ear-splitting.

Not to mention that I have a continuous supply of coffee throughout the game...
With time Nicholas has become quite the seasoned "game goer "(yeah, yeah not a word but still) He pays close attention to what is going on at the pitch, and even follows the ball with his eyes.
He likes to watch the black army the AIK fan-club,and claps his hands and dances to their chants..
I kept him strapped in the stroller for the whole of the first half. That is the ONLY way I actually get to see any of the game, and since all the other kids were sitting outside it was way easier. During half time all the other moms and kids came up stairs, and I had to let him out so he could play with them. Safe to say I didn't really see much of the game after that, Nicholas was everywhere, he just started walking a bit, and was trying to walk all the time, which is quite the hazardous endeavour when all the older kids are playing catch!

The older girls like to take care of Nicholas, and Jessie plays with him so good!

The last 15 minutes we went outside on the stands. When the team is winning I try to do so so Kenny can take Nicholas out on the pitch when they thank the fans.

After the game we always get delicious food made by the teams chefs who also run a successful catering company. And all that running around gives a healthy appetite! Both for the players and the kids.. as for me, I don't have any excuse other than that the food is devilishly good.
