This & that

* Sometimes tomorrow means two days from now... sigh.

* There is something so lovely about the sweet summer breeze on your skin on your first day of vacation. Even if it overcast today. Still so lovely. And even lovelier was opening one eye when Mika got up this morning and simply turning on my other side and closing it again...aaahhh...

* Niina has started sleepwalking some nights. Sigh. I thought one zombie child was enough. The other night she got up and was walking in circles in the upstairs hall saying "Mom, help me." She obviously really needed to pee, so I took her to the bathroom, sat her on the toilet and gave her paper. Then told her to go back to bed and came downstairs. Two minutes later we hear Saara calling that Niina is on her bed...

Saara had woken up to the commotion, was sitting up and for some reason Niina had taken the opportunity of going into the wrong room, wrong bed and fallen asleep. Meanwhile Saara is sitting there with this "my little sister stole by bed" look on her face.

It was too funny.

* I bought new gardening gloves:

Happy polkadots.

* The shovel that was missing last summer is still missing. What are the odds of that...? Now I really do have to go buy a new one. Because these bushes need to come out:


I dislike them. They look sloppy.

They'll be replaced by this:

I'll get you a more detailed garden report sometime this week. I have loads of photos...

* This is what happens when three girls are on a sleepover and they get into the make up.



*I will show you my favorite tulips this spring:

Love them. Period.

* Did I mention I'm enjoying sleeping in?



* Niina graduated Kindergarten, snif... she's so big.



She got an outstanding report card!

* Saara also got a fantastic report card! Really pleased with these girls.

* I bought a new bowl.


Just because it was pretty. You need to do that every once in a while. Good for your soul.

* I updated my scrapbanner on the sidebar. It'll now house the latest 10 pages I've made.


* I got the most beautiful bouquet from the 1st graders' parents. And a giftcard :)


* Someone enjoying the morning kiddie programs on tv.



* And we did indeed finish our sushi bar project by the contest's Memorial Day deadline.



We are now open for business.

* This week I'm preparing for the June 7th Lahti minimarket I'll be attending as a seller. Here's a preview of what the table will look like.


Kinda. Sorta.

I still have a whole bunch of stuff to finish, there's a lot of table to cover with itty bitty items.

I will show more photos of the items later this week.

* Not all work this week however. I am fitting in a few visits from friends. And laundry. Since that isn't work but relaxation in my book.

* Blogger is messing with my fonts... and I can't fix it...aaarrgghhhhhh!!!

Deep breaths....

* Now how are all of you?

How has your June started off? Tell me something, go ahead... I'm listening... ummm.. reading :)

  1. 20 days until you have other guests! Guests from abroad. I know I need to email you with the things we'd love to see, but I have to make it through the end of the school year. Only 4 more wake ups for that to happen.

    Enjoy sleeping in!
