The kids have a pretty big costume chest but it’s not been used for a long time. This weekend though the kids got all interested in costumes. Here’s the evidence:Read more
Birthday Celebration With Daycare Buddies

[Written 8 July 2013]
I’ll be the first to admit that kiddie birthday celebrations have gotten completely out of hand. But, at the same time, I couldn’t tell Bjarki that he wouldn’t be getting to celebrate his birthday with his daycare buddies after he asked about it nonstop… soooo… to the celebratory place we went!
(Last year we hosted the boys at home, but a) Finnur swore never to do that again, and b) the weather forecast has been too unstable to plan anything which requires playing outside these days, so we went to one of those party venues instead.)
The play structures at Ævintýragarðurinn (The Adventure Garden).

It’s creepy how little I leave the house. The result: More photos from the home.

We grew radishes!! They actually grew! And we ate them!! Sure, they’re not that big, but they’re still radishes!!

Mini-Birthday and Summer House

Because the weather forecast looked so un-outside-able for Bjarki’s birthday, we decided to limit his formal birthday party to ‘family’ for space reasons and have some of our friends over later.
‘Later’ turned out to be the next day, when the Hollas and the Guðrúns came over for lunch and some hot tubbing, before we jumped in the car later that afternoon to meet the Addas at the Laugarvatn summer house for an overnight stay. Click here for all the photos from the weekend.
Bjarki very happy to be getting MOAR PRESENTS!!
Clever Features on Google Plus

Google Plus is getting scary clever. I uploaded the pictures from Bjarki’s 6th birthday to Google Plus (for backup), and the photo-site AUTOMATICALLY made an animated gif of Bjarki blowing out his candles:

Bjarki turned 6 years old today!! Oh my!! 🙂 Click here to read this whole post – there are a lot of pictures!
One standard chocolate cake, check!
He woke me up at 06:30, we went downstairs to eat breakfast, and then I collapsed back into bed, forbidding him to open any presents until after 7 am. There was little rest to be had though because of course Emma had awoken by then…
Shortly after 7 am we woke Anna and Finnur up and let Bjarki open his first presents:
Bjarki’s first present of the day: a snorkel set complete with fins from his sisters.

Birthdaying and Hot-Tubbing

We’ve had a fairly busy day. We began by celebrating the fourth birthday of cousin Eyrún Hulda around lunchtime, and when we returned home we had visitors.
Mmmm… Birthday Party food! 🙂
I Smell Milk

We invited ourselves to dinner at Adda and Halli’s on Saturday, and as usual, the cats came to say Hi to Emma. She was much less interested in them than they in her!

Semi-Sunny Days

After nothing but rain, more rain, and then – surprise! – more rain, we’ve had two days of SUN! Well, mostly sun. There have been clouds, and a chilly breeze, but SUN!
Look at that BLUE SKY! Oh, and some people walked by Álafoss, probably trying to get healthy. Notice all the t-shirts!
