[Photos from 03-25 October\u00a02016, posted online 10 January 2017. \u00a0Emma got an ear infection yesterday. \u00a0Feeling better now.<\/em>]<\/p>\n

October has a tendency to pass in snapshots. \u00a0Not a whole lot of stuff happens that warrants the “big camera”, so this is mostly just phone stuff of “life as usual”. (26 images total)<\/p>\n

We begin with Emma on her daycare playground. This fall, she took a liking to biking there after we got home, and hanging out for a bit.<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

My dermatologist convinced me it was time for “UVB light-therapy” again. I haven’t done that\u00a0since I was a teenager! So for three months I showed up at the light-clinic (very close to my home, thankfully) and combed my hair with a light-comb, and used the full-body light-cabinet as well. As a result, I’m unusually psoriasis-free, and keep getting asked if I’ve been to warmer sunnier countries recently (so tanned!). Sadly, I don’t expect the psoriasis to stay away for very long, but it’s been nice while it’s lasted.<\/p><\/div>\n

I was at the Gl\u00f3 restaurant close to us, when a loud crack was heard. It turned out a police-car had accidentally driven into the glass on the door cover! The police-women that were inside fetching food disbelievingly burst out laughing, and we chuckled along with them. Here are Anna and Bjarki by the damaged glass (they were at the nearby movie theater when it happened).<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

It was a nice day out…<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

… and we probably spent it tidying up, because that’s usually when I take a photo of one of Anna’s artwork!<\/p><\/div>\n

Bjarki practicing guitar before bedtime, because that’s where we can get some peace and quiet.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Daycare had the kids answer some tricky questions! \u00a01) What is a teacher? \u00d3mar (name of a teacher), 2) What does a teacher do? Put stuff on the table. 3) Who is the daycare director? You (the teachers). \u00a04) What does the daycare director do? I don’t know.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Anna started meeting my brother Bjarni to work out twice per week (he’s starting working\u00a0as a physical trainer). On this day there was a miscommunication, so she ended up waiting for him, but he never showed. Awww.<\/p><\/div>\n

I began the day taking the bus downtown to reclaim the car after having left it there the evening before after meeting up with EE friends.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Later that afternoon we visited the ice-rink!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Emma not sure what to think of this place.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Sometimes my phone camera has a lot of trouble focusing. Boo!<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

While the big kids were skating, Holla and I took our little ones to the farm animal park next door. \u00a0Here the sheep are getting their hay.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Dinner at Holla and \u00d3li’s!<\/p><\/div>\n

Bjarki got really into practicing guitar using the Yousician app, but a few sessions later got incredibly frustrated by the sharp learning curve, so we stopped using it.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

More after-hours play at daycare.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>

That evening I went on a quick Pokemon hunt around our neighborhood. Couldn’t resist snapping these very bright northern lights which zipped on by.<\/p><\/div>\n

Finnur had left on a worktrip to England the day before, so I invited my mom and brothers to liven up the place. I let the kids play with these water-proof LED lights, which were a pretty big hit.<\/p><\/div>\n

I eloped to a cafe for a bit to collect my wits. Anna held down the home-fort in the meantime.<\/p><\/div>\n

Monday 24 October 2016<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

I took Emma to a different playground from the usual one, while Bjarki finished him gymnastics practice. I remember it being uncomfortably cold outside. \u00a0Emma found a plastic spoon there, and wanted to keep it. \u00a0No such luck for the missy.<\/p><\/div>\n

Just to document that snow did fall from the sky, but it was all gone an hour later. \u00a0This fall was very warm!<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
