my easter:
on a skiing trip with the parents-in-law, the husband and the pup.
in a pulka with the nephew and the niece.
by the way: the nephew had (almost) turned into a little monster! i guess you're supposed to not want your pup say f*k off to little boys, but i must admit i was glad when he did. he is sweet and cool and fun of course, but so loud and never still and doesn't listen to what you say at all (at least if what you say is: take it easy be still don't run don't jump on the dog i don't want to wrestle anymore please go away keep quiet be still). i want to borrow him to go to the adventure pool in รถ-vik though, i'm sure that would be a better environment for him! or a zoo. or an amusement park. when he gets just a liiittle bit older i will see if i can rent him sometimes :)
the niece on the other hand had turned from a boring baby into a little angel (i guess the nephew turning into a monster can have something to do with having a sweet and loving little sister :). she was cool and didn't let people tell her what to do. when they were saying grace she refused to fold her hands. not in a loud and screaming baby-way, but by turning her face into a wrinkled potato and staring with angry eyes at anyone who tried to convince her to do what they said. you go girl! (and don't listen to your brother, who claims that boys are stronger than girls! :)
on an outdoor church service somewhere in nowhere. it was cold, but the sun was shining and we got meat-balls. it was a day full of new experiences for the pup. he now knows what reindeer hides taste like, that people with sunglasses are just a little bit more scary than people without sunglasses and that when people fry enormous amounts of meat-balls on a gigantic muurikka in the woods the chances are they drop quite a few on the ground for the dog. he refused to accept half naked people running barefoot in the snow between one hot water tub and another as being normal, though.
today is waffle day!
