Sleepless in Espoo

I escaped our testosterone filled bed at 05:36 AM. Are you asking why?!?!

Activity

Every time we go to the park it seems that our boys are the loudest ones, jumping, running, screaming, but IMHO taking the other children into consideration and playing with them, too. I think this picture of Tuomas taken on Monday night sums it up. The boys use the see-saw this way. I can picture a snow board fastened to his feet.

Easter

Skiing with Clara at my parents summer place. This crazy German skied wearing a skirt + swam in the lake (in the hole we sawed through the ice) and actually washed her hair standing in this icy water (and put some hair conditioner, too). Crazy!!!!

Picasso, part II

I guess that only as a mother I can see the beauty in this picture. Tuomas has drawn yet another picture of me, now with even more detail. Let me explain:

1. The line above my head is my hair.
2. The four vertical dots inside my head are my eyes and ears, and the fifth one is either my nose or my mouth. Tuomas wasn't sure about this.
3. The line on the left side of my head and the circle on the right are my shoulders.
4. I'm holding a bag on my right hand (which naturally is on the left in the picture).
5. Now this is the best part: The circle below my head is the combined breasts and belly button!
6. The line below this aforementioned breast-bellybutton combo is "not a penis, Mom, but the one you have".
7. The long vertical lines are self-explanatory.

Table and two chairs

We're selling this children's table and two chairs. I'm not sure about the table, but the chairs seem to be Aalto chairs. I think we're the third owners of this set, so they are not in perfect shape.Drop me a line if you're interested!
Edit: the table and chairs have found a new home at White Country.
