rush hour


























So many things to remember. Today I remembered quite a lot, but forgot the sheets. 

It's been raining nonstop.

One week until the new house is ours. The first party we had in Manteli was V's 3 years birthday. The last one is little V's 3 years. 

We found wonderful people to buy our house. That feels like a miracle!

rainbows pumpkins etc






























I wanted to get some rainbow crystal balls for quite a while. And when I finally got them, I thought I'd hang them in the new kitchen. But I couldn't wait, the kids didn't want to wait and now we have rainbows with the evening sun. 

The kids started "the leaf-workshop" on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The first meeting (on the kitchen table) was with rowan berries. V has started to go to an art class, it seems to be very nice. 

Some people came to see our house and some more are coming. Hoping to find the good ones to buy this place. The perfect ones. 

We're all letting our hair grow, V is growing out her fringe and little V wants to have long hair too. My hair always looks like a wig at this point.

I am as much into pumpkins as last year.

Talo talo talo talo. Kurpitsa ja toinen. Kaikki kasvattavat tukkaa. Keittiössä alkoi kokoontua Lehtipaja. Tiistaisin ja keskiviikkoisin kuulemma. Tänä aamuna näytti näkkäripajalta.

a flying boot




























Some more log-house floor pictures. Totally different from the season right now. The weather is so unpredictable! Every day there is rain and shine. 

My school starts again. Quite a puzzle with scheduling everything, getting one kid from school, having one of the grandmothers to babysit, packing, making it to my friend's car in time. And, apparently, blogging in between. 

It is apple time in Finland. My list of the best things in Finland includes apples.

Lähden kouluun ja sitä ennen pupun synttäreille kamariin.
Ajattelen muuttoon liittyviä listoja.

floor puzzle






























The other half of the log-house has a floor now. This day was quite recently, but it looks like it was summer then. When the floor was finished we spent the whole day there. Lunch, dessert, coffee, reading, playing guitar. Quite a collection of wood! Collected from various sources by Y. It is a wonderful space. Sigh. And we will not stay with it. Our house is for sale. We have two houses at the moment. Oh the new one will be very nice. And it will make our life a lot easier.

Aitan lattiaa. Hieno palapeli!
