Panksoppa

As you might know, children are superior when it comes to creating new words. In Sweden it's tradition to eat pea soup and then pancakes on Thursdays. Now it was a Sunday and we had vegetable soup and then pancakes. Either way, it's still pancakes and soup. In Swedish that would be "Pannkakor och soppa", which my two year old cousin conveniently referred to as "panksoppa".

But I didn't just learn a new word today. We did a lot of fun things! We went to the local playground to play on the swings, the seesaw, the slides and the monkey bars. When we were at home, we played with bubbles and we also drew a lot. Majken found out what happens if you don't hold the bubble bottle straight. You get bubble water all over your clothes and have to change! Luckily, it was the really sunny kind of day when getting water all over your clothes doesn't really bother you too much. It was all smiles either way!

Olga learned to play the keyboard a little. Not even five years old and she still could learn some simple songs! Yes, maybe she's not a wonderchild, but I still think it's pretty talented. There are plenty of grownups who can't even learn! I know it takes some time for me to learn a decent lenght keyboard song and then I might only remember it for a few weeks if I don't play it!

I know you don't need money to entertain a child, but it helps. When the girls want to draw I provide them with a pile of paper and a handful of various pens. A few hours later, about ten sheets of paper are doodled on, even though only three have proper drawings on them, my colored glue is empty and my pens are dry. Oh well. See, this is what I meant with the money thing. This doesn't really bother me as I can just buy more paper and pens anytime, a poor family might not afford this luxury.

Sure, I could be all economical and environmental and whatnot and teach them how to draw carefully and use both sides of the paper... But, why ruin their fun? And my rest. Children are quite intense, even if you're four people watching them! Even if you don't meddle in their play it's quite intense! Gotta love 'em. Peace and Love!

Why must he live so far away?

Happiness

The Siglet is happy. And in love. This is good. (It really is you guys) I'm working towards getting my health better and my baby is working towards getting the moneys to come see his girlfriend (that's me) and by the way if you didn't know it yet, I live in Sweden and he lives in Australia and for those who just really suck at geography: That's like opposite ends of the world, basically.

I've had some trouble sleeping lately, but then I've amused myself by watching many episodes of South Park (I watch them on -->this if you click here<-- site) and reading the archives of Dinosaur Comics (clicky -->here<-- please) and as everyone knows cartoons and comics are the meaning of life. (I might be exaggerating here, but you gotta love cartoons and comics)

As for work and studies, I'm not really doing any of that right now, I'm too tired and at the moment I'm mostly excited about starting this new relationship with my man. Not saying that I'm gonna ditch school and work to just be in love, but you know, I'm not really in shape for school or work (besides I don't even have school or work so I can't technically ditch it) right now, so I'm just trying to focus on lighter things, for example, I've been working some on photography, modeling, drawing and photo-manipulation, it's all just for fun of course, I'm not hoping to be a professional artist, it's not really my thing, more of a hobby really!

Peace

One pair of extra thick snow pants
A knit cap

So I was only somewhat cold

The kids love the snow though!

"It is good snowb. It is good snowb" *Licks snowb*
"Snow is full of germs"

*Keeps licking snowb*
"Snow is full of germs"

...

*Keeps munching on snowb*
*Shakes head at child*
*Nods at me*
*Rubs child's adorable nose*

...

*Teaches younger child how to properly eat snowb*
"Guys, you know how many germs there are in snow? Guys? You can get sick if you eat that!" *Blows kiss at children and give up*

It was my last day at the pre-school today. Now those kids will have to do without me! I sure will miss 'em.

Some Recent Photos

I have taken sooo many photos lately and had so many photos taken on me that I haven't really had the time to post any. I still don't have the photos my boyfriend took of me, but I've finished going through all the photos I've taken and the photos my parents took of me. Here is a very brief photographic summary of July - today.

Love And Hands

I was out photographing cold wintery Sweden with my father and my hands got so cold and hurt so much. So, I mentioned how I know two people with incredibly beautiful hands and how, sadly enough, I am in love with both of them. He asked if I'm not in love with my best friend and I said no, then I mentioned how I never paid much attention to my best friend's hands.

My father replied "That's probably because you're not in love with him."
