The Tail-End of October 2015
[Photos from 19 to 31 October 2015, posted online on 7 April 2016. The Icelandic political situation is depressing.]
Just photos from the tail end of October of last year. Bits, and bobs, as usual. (20 images total. Note the first version of this post only had 11, as it didn’t include Halloween.)

A charging post was installed at my workplace, and I decided to finally test it out. It seems about as efficient as the one we’ve got in the garage at home.

The town agreed to fix up the yard at Emma’s daycare earlier this year. Over the summer, half the yard was under construction, and it now sports these cool wood-formations. Of course, they’re the first thing you see when exiting the daycare builing, so actually getting Emma to exit the yard became difficult!
Slightly raised walkways are so great!

Product placement!! I bought this hairbrush at the airport, and it has the magical ability of not pulling wet hair when used.
It’s the only brush we can use on Emma’s hair with no screaming.

We got a nice dusting of snow, so the kids ended up outside in the backyard for a bit.
Bjarki had a friend over, and they all ended up having toasts with peanut-butter and jam outside, along with a glass of milk. Eating outside is much easier than dragging them inside, undressing, eating, and then re-dressing.

This Monday was Day One out of Two of the school’s autumn break. A friend of Bjarki’s came over to play.

On Day Two out of Two of the autumn break, we took Bjarki to the barber.
Bjarni chillin’ with the kids.

I attended a symposium of the Professional Women’s Associations with an impressive number of impressive women. The first speaker was Vigdís Finnbogadóttir, the first woman to be nationally elected president. She is one cool cat! (I also ran into an ex-student of mine, with was a treat!)
Saturday 31 October 2015, aka Halloween
Anna and I made a library run, which included Nökkvi’s library. Young Breki Jarl was in a fine mood.
Later in the day, I took Bjarki and Emma to Bjarki’s old daycare to play, while Anna was at a Halloween party.
Emma in a sandbox.
Nobody was there but us.
Castle running in progress.
See-sawing as the sun goes down at 6 pm.
Later that evening, Anna returned from her Halloween party. She made her costume entirely by herself!
Nicely placed blood splatters.
The zombie walking into the night. (This was just for the camera. She returned right back inside again.)
