[Photos taken 01 – 13 October 2018, posted online 16 April 2019. It’s super windy outside!]

We mostly took it easy as October got off the ground, but did manage to go out to dinner with friends (using almost expired gift-cards!), to visit house #2, keep the kids alive and mostly happy, and go to the gym a bit. (40-ish images)

View out of the window by the coffee corner at work. Very autumny out there.

Poor Anna spent the winter having ear-issues. Here a specialist is checking out her ears, and the verdict was that most likely the braces were putting strain on the muscles in the ear area, causing all sorts of unhappy feelings. Poor thing!

Emma got lucky and found a friend to play with after daycare closed. They decided they wanted to visit the big-kids’ school.
Not quite big enough for these things. The shadows were getting super loooong.
The swings were a hit.
Checking out the autumn leaves on the way back.
That evening we finally cashed in the mutual gift cards our friends and ourselves had exchanged when we turned forty way back when!
Nice looking food!
Desert arrived in a big flare and then some water got poured aaaand…
Whoa, cool! 🙂

The day began by a visit to a bakery to acquire good bread.
Shortly thereafter we made our way to house #2 with my mom and oldest brother and his kiddos. His wife was off on a choir trip!
Mom chilling in bed.
The kiddos in the play room.
The game of the trip was Othello.
Dinner time! I predict a million and two photos taken of that table in the future!
Ready, set, eat!!

Silly Emma!
Mom by the windows.
The hot tub turned out to be too hot to really use, so the kids circled it for a bit. We ended up putting cold water in via hose.
Checking the temperature.
Still measuring things here and there.
Looked out the window, and wow.
Mom went outside to capture the moment.
Time for a late lunch.
Games afoot!
Time to head back into town.
It was a nice day out.
We made it home in one piece and asked the others if they’d also made it. Apparently they did!

With Anna at school for the autumn parent-teacher conference.
All the kids appeared at the same time in front of the house, even Bjarki who’d just returned from gymnastics practice!

Lazy morning at the gym.

Q&A at daycare on teachers. Q: What is a teacher? A: He teaches us to do all kinds of things. Q: What does a teacher do? A: He teaches us and looks after us. Q: Who is the daycare principal? A: Sóley Gyða. Q: What does the principal do? A: Turns on the fire alarm. (!!!)

Finnur mending his own clothes, Emma remains dubious.
Flowers and hearts, about to meet the recycling bin though.
Emma being a busy bee.
It very cool to finally have a cap that looks like it’s from Caps for sale.
