15 minutes of friday.

That was our 15 minutes.

Ilta meni muutenkin mukavasti.

Lapset kavivat uimassa ja pomppivat trampoliinissa. Leikkivat koulua ja Lukivat lisaa kirjoja.

Soivat iltapalan ja menivat nukkumaan.

Mina, tiskasin astiat ja pesin viikon pyykit (vain 2 koneellista, rakastan kesaa!).

Olin omissa mietteissani, sellaisessa sekavassa olotilassa koko illan.

Nautin, kun sain olla yksin (lasten mentya nukkumaan).

MUTTA.

TOMORROW IS THE NEW DAY.../ HUOMENNA ON UUSI PAIVA....

...AND.../...JA...

FARMER'S MARKET IS CALLING US!

ME MENNAAN TORILLE!

Ajotesti/ Drive Test

Taytyyhan sita uuden auton myota kayda myos ajotestissa! Miten sita uskaltaa muuten rattiin hypata, jos ei ole virallista, opettajan antamaa lupaa :)! Ei vaan, taytyi tanaan kayda ajamassa lopullinen ajokortti...se on jaannyt ja jaannyt. Pari kertaa aikaisemmin olen YRITTANYT kayda, mutta jo heti ovelta ovat kaannyttaneet, ekalla kerralla oli etulamppu palanut ja toisella kerralla oli tuulilasissa sen verran iso lohkeama, etta turvallisuus horjui. Tanaan ei ollut autossa mitaan vikaa (jos ois ollut, niin oisin vaan hurauttanut Hondalle viereiseen rakennukseen ja sanonnut etta huollon aika!).. Mulla oli siis Eliel mukana! Ja autotestissa ei saa olla kun sina itse ja autokoulun opettaja. Plaah. Meinas itku tulla.

Mutta mullapas kavi hyva tuuri! Takanani jonossa seisova nuori herra oli tunnin ajoissa omaan testiin. Kysyin hanelta, otatko mun ajovuoron niin mulla olisi aikaa kayda heittamassa Eliel mummulaan ja tulla takaisin ajelemaan sinun vuorollasi? Ja niin ystavallinen kuin han olikin, teimme vaihtokaupat!!! JiPPii!

Ok, when you own a new car, of course you have to do the drive test. How you could drive good and safe otherwise? :) just kidding, I had to do my G today..I have tried to do it couple of times before but both times they have turned me at the doors! First time lights didn't work and a second time my windshield was broken so wasn't able to do it (but no, I didn't get my money back!;)) And so I did have bad luck today too, I had Eliel w/me!And you are not suppose to have ANY passangers when you are doing your driving test!Just to let you know, I didn't know that! Plaah, I started crying (almost!). Then I had a great idea, I talked to the gentleman who was standing at the line behind me and I asked him would you like to do trade with me, you take my time and I take yours? He was there an hour earlier. He was happy as anything to do that w/me..!Jippii!I brought Eliel to mummula and went back!

Siis ajotestihan meni hyvin, kuten arvata saattaa :) vahan vain pelotti, etta osaanko ajaa niin kuin autokoulussa taytyy ajaa vai niin kuin isa opettaa VAI niin miten saa arsytettya Briania kaikkein eniten ;)? Kun takaisin parkkipaikalle tultiin ja auto sammutettiin, opettaja sanoi minulle etta moottoritiella hurjastelit jopa 120km/h (100km/h on rajoitus!), han voisi hylata minun ajon siita, koska ei saa ylinopeutta ajaa. Mutta koska muuten kaikki meni loistavasti niin paasen lapi!!!JiPPii taasen!!! (Olisi pitanyt kuunnella Briania etta ei saa ajaa ylinopeutta!) Taskuun peruuttaminen, hatapysakointi seka kahden auton valiin peruutusparkkeeraus (miten se sanotaan?) meni niin hyvin, etta aaneen nauroin kun sen olin tehnyt! Meinas nimittain vahan jannittaa, kun en ollut ikina tuolla autolla niita tehnyt. Ja kiitoksen voisin antaa mahtavalle peruutuskameralle seka loistaville renkaille, jotka kaantyvat vaikka miten pain :)!

The Drive Test couldn't go any better! I didn't have any mistakes, except one! I drove 120km/h at the highway! Auts. I could have failed on my test but the teacher was so lovely, she told me that was the only mistake what you made so try to drive little slower next time you go to the highway! I surely had a good luck!

Joten, Empun ajoturvallisuus/taito on nyt testattu. Olkaahan te muutkin varovaisia tuolla moottoritiella, ei saa hurjastella!!!

Now I have tested my driving :) good to go back to the road! I hope everybody else is careful driver there also, don't speed!!!

Lopussa sanoin opettajalleni, etta ihme kun paastit minut lapi, kun yleensa naiset ovat tiukempia opettajia! He tarttuvat pieninpaankin virheeseen ja seuraavat kuin haukka, katotko varmasti olan yli 100 kertaa enen kuin vaihdat kaistaa. Han rupesi nauramaan :) sanoi etta huomasin etta sulla on suomalainen sukunimi, etta hanen miehensakin on suomalainen :)  puhua palpatettiin sisalle toimistoon asti. kappas vain, meista tuli ystavat.

Nyt kun teen yhteenvetoa, niin en tieda oliko se taitava, turvallinen ajo vai suomalaisuus miksi ma paasin ajotestin lapi ;)?

At the end I told my teacher that I wonder why I passed my test because usually the lady teachers are more picky etc. She started laughing :) she told me that I read your last name and I am guessing you are finnish? Her husband is finnish as well. So we had something in common and good talk after that :)! I got a new friend!

Now when I am thinkin about it, I am not sure did I drive nice and clean or was it my finnish backround  why I passed my test ;)?

Kuvat kertovat kaiken.
Olemme onnellisia uuden auton omistajia!Tulitera. Vajaa 50km mittarissa.
Taytyy ajaa erittain hitaasti, jotta kilometritkin kertyisi hitaasti.
Toivotan turvallista matkaa meille!

These pictures tells everything.

Kun sunnuntaisin ei saa tehda toita, ni eiko ois hyva jos lakkautettais myos ajatteleminen ja suunnitteleminen? Siis ko taalla korvien valissa hyrraa enemman ko pitaisi! Ja taytyisi osata vain rentoutua ja nauttia paasiaisaamusta. joopa-joo. Eilen siis kaytiin koeajamassa autoja neljassa eri liikkeessa ja viela lasten kanssa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Pitaahan sita, kun perheautoa ostetaan, ni kuunnella kaikkien mielipidetta ;) Haha. Sit siina valissa viela juostiin ottamaan perhepotretti kuva! Ihan kasittamatonta, miten reippaasti lapset oli. Saatikka mina ja Brian. Loyty auto. Loyty montakin. Eri mielella tultiin kotia ko lahettiin liikenteeseen. Ja mita ma ajattelen? Ajattelen, etta voi surkia ku nuo autot maksaa ihan simena! Huh hei. Ma kun blondina luulin et meen vaan kauppaan ostaa auton ja kohta ajelen silla hymy huulilla. Tiedoks vaan, ei se ookkaa niin helppoo (hahaa). No ei vaan, nyt taytyy vaan miettii, et mita oikeesti haluaa. Ja paljon siihen oikeesti haluu laittaa rahaa. Kavi myos ajatus mielessa, etta parjisinkohan ilman autoo viela seuraavat 3kk? Sekin olisi aika mielenkiintoista kokeilla...Katotaampa mihin ratkaisuun tassa tullaan. Itsellani kun ei oo viela harmainta aavistustakaan............

Okei, thinking and thinking should be not allowed on sunday. It is kind of same thing then working, right? I don't know...My head is spinning, like after a day in Canada's Wonderland (hei, there I have to go this summer!). Yesterday we went to test drive the cars...and it was fun! We ended up going with a whole family, yes, it is good to have everybody's opinion. And I think I should just listen the kids, that I will take the car what they want. But hei, its not that easy as I thought it will be. Huh huh, can't just o to the store, buy a car and drive out. you actually have to have some money with or make sure you will have some money in next few years to pay it off!Crazy! And the cars are soooo expensive!When we were driving back home I was just lookin all the cars what drove by and I told Brian "think how much money here is on the roads?CRAZY! Anyways, I should stop these thinking business and start to celebrate the Easter Sunday. Tomorrow I have totally different story...we have to decide...or maybe I will be try to live without the car for next 3months?Hmm....


Mut siita ajattelemisesta lisaa myohemmin, koska en jaksa nain paasiaispaivan kunniaksi mitaan ajattelemista laittaa tanne. Laitampa vain pari kuvaa meidan kaksi vuotiaasta Mr.Villiviikarista. Joka saa minut hymyilemaan ja itkemaan joka paiva <3.

Okei, more about that car business later on...Now its time to think about Easter. And I have to put couple pictures of my little two years old Mr. Villiviikari. He makes me smile and cry everyday <3.

Love you Seba.

Sekavaa alkuviikkoa!

Yes, it was. It's actually started already on Monday. Wait, No, Sunday. So, on the weekend my dear volvo started to do his own tricks! Didn't want to go forward anymore...just slowed down while pressing the gas..hmm.And then I had to give him a little break and TRY to start the dear car again, it even started or not.  He is getting old, I know. He is already 14 years old.

Sunday (pst. I know its not good to work on Sundays but sometimes you have to!) Brian fixed the car, changed something I don't remember what, but I was watching him and yelling to be safe, because he was lying under the car with only couple of puu polkkyys to keeping it up. I can just imagine....no I can't!crazy.

So Monday morning I was full of energy and ready to go with the boys to the Walmart. We got 5km down the road and my car just slowly started to slow down...and. I had to stop.But luckily my dear volvo listened me so well, because I told him, that please, bring us back home, I don't want to walk! So he brought me back home. And I am scared  to go anywhere with it! I am stuck at home. What ever, he has been just a pleasant to us..he has seen a lot..New York, Florida, Pennsylvenia, Niagara, Sudbury GTA......and we haven't done absolutely nothing major things for it. I will post a picture of him, before I SELL IT. Because we made a plan (I hope it comes true.) This coming weekend we are going to shop a new vehicle!JIHAA. Let's see how good deals they give to me. I will be hard on questioning and asking for better offers up to their limits. Yes, to their limits.

But don't tap your hands yet. I won't buy anything fancy, HUGE, 1000- horsepower owning car. Just a nice 7 or 8seated passenger van what will be my dear daily friend for next..5 years, at least! So let's get back to the cars next weekend (ou yeah and I will post picture of my old dear volvo also).

Miun rakas jokapaivainen ystavani teki mulle tepposet viikonloppuna...Eihan ystava saa luovuttaa hadassa? Tama jatka teki niin. Nimittain mun rakas autoni! Kesken ajomatkan vaan hiljentaa vauhtia kunnes sammuu. Voi elama. Ei auta, kun paastaa auto elakkeelle tai autojen hautausmaalle. Kumpi kuulostaa paremmalle? Onhan silla jo auton ika melkein taynna, 14vuotta. Brian yritti korjailla sita sunnuntaina, mut en maa maanantaina silla kovin pitkalle paassyt. 5km vaan talon pihasta. Siina autoa taputtellessa ja rukoillessa etta se viela starttaisi ja veisi minut ja pojat kotiin (oltiin menossa Walmarttiin) ni kyllahan poika starttasi ja matkaan lahettiin. Tuossa se on nyt vuorokauden seissyt, liikahtamatta. Vois varmaan ottaa vakuutuksetkin kohta pois, ko mita sita vakuuttaa, kun paikallaan seisoo? Ottakoot rosvot jos ottavat! Eika, kylla ma sen myyntiin laitan, kerta itekkii oon ostanu sen. Mahtava palvelija on ollut kylla, en valita yhtaan! Mut tulevana viikonloppuna kayn ostamassa uuden palvelijan, joka tulee palvelemaan meita seuraavat 5vuotta? tai enemman. VAPISKAA AUTOKAUPAT!!!Ma en lahe kotia ennen ko mulla on hyva paperi taskussa ja mahtava diili kaikkinen lisaosineen ja varusteineen alla!

So yes, but I did go to the walmart then in the evening after Brian came home. He needed to study so I took off with the kids. I did some great shopping anyways, I bought A BLENDER! I hope its a good one. So far it has. I have tried it already three times! and I love it!Love it! So guess what we had today? Breakfast: Bagel Smoothie, Lunch: Berry Smoothie, Snack: Banana Smoothie.....and so on :) haha. Just kidding. But yes, we have had a few smoothies in the past 24hours. And I bet this machine will be the most used thing in our household this summer! I am just asking myself, why I didn't buy it before? Surkia.

Tama tehosekoitin on kylla mita parhain! Eilen illalla kipusin Brianin tyoautoon lasten kanssa ja huristeltiin Walmarttiin ja jatettiin mies lukemaan laksyjaan...kaupasta tarttui tallainen tehosekoitin jota ollaan kaytetty het 3kertaa jo vuorokauden aikana! Niin huippu peli, etta se tulee kuluttamaan sahkoa meidan talossa kuluvana kesana joka paiva ainaki 5kertaa!!!!!Huippu vehe!

Jillian is a BigKahuna tomorrow. She has share and tell time. Her topic tomorrow is "Signs of Spring". She is going to bring her sun glasses, Easter grass and coloured butterfly :)! That's her spring. She wanted to bring bike to the school too, but I told her next time then. I talked with teacher today and yes, she is awesome. I hope she is Jillian's teacher next year or continues as a Kindergarten teacher for Tristan. I absolutely love her...the greatest teacher I have ever met. I think and hope there is other ones too, but what a great start for the little one to have just a loving and supporting teacher? Have I ever told her that? Yes I have, many times...

Jillian on BigKahuna (luokan paivan tahtioppilas) huomenna. Sen pitaa pitaa esitelma aiheesta "kevaan merkit"..Reppuun on pakattu jo aurinkolasit, varitetty perhonen seka paasiaisruohoa :) hauska. pyorankin olisi halunut vieda, mutta ei sita viiti bussiissa kouluun raahata, vaikka tarkea osahan se on kevatta :)!Jutteling myos Jillianin opettajan kanssa tanaan, se on kylla opettajista yksi parhaimmista, niin mahtava tyyppi ettei ketaan! Oonko ma sanonut sen sille? Oon, monesti! Maa toivon etta se jatkaa Jillianin opettajana ensi vuonna tai sitten jatkaa Tristanin opettajana...niin mahtavasta tyypista ei kylla saa luopua!!!

Okei, I am ready to go to the bed now. This morning was crazy in every ways. Boys were fighting and I was tired and...so on. So we had a 20minytes reading time and that helped! After that boys went to outside to play and I cleaned the living room and the kitchen! And everything were good. But believe or not, 12hours ago there wasn't any extra toy or thing in the living room. I just walked there and I saw 13 things on a floor what doesn't belong to the living room. Yes, they are toys. Sometimes I ask myself why I even clean? because soon it will look same then as it was before. Yes it will but...I was able to clean my mess too and now there is our EASTER decoration (with jillian little bunny). We are ready for EASTER :)!
