The kids dressed up for Ash Wednesday (known here as \u00d6skudagur, or just Ashday) and went to school for a “fun day”. (8 images and 2 videos total)<\/p>\n

They were so damn excited that they all woke up at 06:15, and the make-up was done before 7 am!<\/p><\/div>\n

Bjarki the Bloodthirsty.<\/p><\/div>\n

Our candy offering. We got quite a few groups of kids, and they all sang for us to get candy. It was quite a hoot! \ud83d\ude42<\/p><\/div>\n
