----------

Ma menin nukkumaan jo 9lta eilen illalla! Olin kylla aivan rattipoikki! Kova tyopaiva takana, tai oikeestaan koko viikko. Lapset aloittivat koulun ja vaikka kaksi on kotoa poissa paivisin, se kylla kostautuu monin kertaisena illalla...aivan mahdotonta hulina vilinaa ollut! Kylla se tasta, kylla se tasta - ma itteani rauhottelen. Kohan taas tama huusholli oppii elamaan uuden rytmin kanssa, ni kaikki palautuu taas normaaliin!  Toivottavasti pian. Siis vaikkapa jo huomenna. Karsimaton kun olen. Joka asiassa. Me saatiin myos AJ tanne luoksemme Suomesta talveksi. Ihan huippua....!!!Tulee olemaan mukavaa aikaa edessa....!

MUTTA. Empas saanutkaan nukkua prinsessa unia, vaan kello kaksi yolla tuli marka heratys. Haha. Brian lahti illalla Williamin kanssa rimpsalle ja kun he reissusta palattuaan aamuyolla odottelivat saunan lampiamista, paattivat vahan jekkuilla mun ja mun unien kanssa. Eihan siina, onneksi se oli vain vetta eika lasten pissaa :)! Eika heraaminen tuntunut missaan. Oli jo 5tuntia unta pallossa, ja niilla unilla tassa on melekeimpa menty viimeiset pari viikkoa! Mutta eihan me AJ:n kanssa annettu periksi vaan kostettiin vahasen. Ensin pahalla... Siveltiin saunan ovenripa siirapilla...ja kun poijjat saunaan hyppasivat ni tadaa.....! :):):)
Mut tehtiin me vahan hyvaakin. Katettiin herkullinen illallinen poytaan, musiikin ja kynttiloiden lomassa. Ja sitten massailtiin..! Maistupas hyvalle!!!

I went to sleep already at 9pm last night! I WAS TIRED. OVERTIRED. Busy workday behind or I could say the whole week was crazy! Not only at work but also at home...when school starts, you know what it brings with? New routine! And we haven't found that yet, so I am crossing my fingers that routine will come to our life ASAP! Also we got our friend AJ from Finland this week. That was good news! We are ALL really enjoying her company here with us!!!!!!I am so happy to have her here! It will be super fun winter ahead!

BUT. I wasn't able to sleep princess sweet dreams. Because at 2am I woke up for something wet! Brian left last night with his friend William for coffee and have a evening off and when they came back and while waiting sauna to warm up they decided to do some jokes to me. To me, who is enjoying the good night sleep! Okei, I woke up, as you can believe so.I already had 5hrs of sleep behind and I was ready to wake up for the new day, that has been my rhythm for past two weeks.  I didn't give up that easily. AJ and I took some syrup and put it to the sauna door handles ... and boys had fun surprise when they jumped to the sauna :)! Yes, we did some nice things too...we made nice evening snack for all of us. Was really tasty!

Leppoista Sunnuntaita taalla vietellaan. Kirkkoon lahto. Ja viela ruokavuoro. Ettei vaan paasis ottamaan iisisti milloinkaan :D! We are spending relaxing Sunday morning here. Soon leaving to the church. And food turn . Just that can't relax too much today :D

- E

Ooh, can't believe that its already Saturday. 

Actually, if I speak truth, my days are totally mixed up! It felt like Sunday today, but its SATURDAY. So much have happened and....I don't know, we just have been running around. Or I have. Should say. 

Now when the work started, have to find routine  again and use my time the right way...I guess it is all about time management ;) ooh, it will be good soon..in two weeks (hope!) 

What got my week mixed up was... 

Okei. Finally when I had two days off (wednesday and thursday) I spent those days thinking ONLY my tooth !!!!!SURPRISE! :(:(:(:(

and guess..this was what I ended up with...

I ENDED UP GOING TO THE EMERGENCY on Thursday evening! Tuesday evening my tooth started to bother me (again) and I thought that this will go past (and fast)...but by Thursday morning I couldn't think about nothing else then my tooth, so I went to the dentist. And guess how he called me when he saw me: "You look like a chipmunk". I surely did. There I got two different medications...thinking all will be good (btw, there was infection on the roots, so root canal is coming up next week, but first we have to get rid of infection)..so back to the story, Thursday evening I couldn't open my mouth anymore and got really scared (my dentist told me IF this happens, go to the hospital right away!) So off we went to the hospital. Me and Brian. And tittidii. I came home at 4am with a IV placed in my hand ---> back to the hospital on Friday morning for 10am to get antibiodic by IV. Didn't sleep that well, I am telling you. And that visit wasn't the funniest one. They sucked out all the puss from underneath my tooth. IT WASN'T FUN!!!Never want to do that again. Never. Something positive there was, that I didn't have to go back there anymore in the evening. Huoh. 

So NOW.

I don't have IV anymore :) 

I look like me again, not chipmunk.

I am fulfilled with drugs for next 7 days.

And couple of  fun things what my dentist said to me too...

"What could the week be without you, Emilia". 

"And our next date is next week....." 

:) He is funny. I like him a lot!!!!

But its not fun to go to the dentist every week, right?

I am not blessed with good tooth. As you probably notice that already. So, just to let you know, go to the dentist right away if your tooth is hurting you. Take good care of them, brush and flush.

Anyways. That's enough of that topic. 

Let's talk about something fun what happened this week!!!!!!

Here is Eliel. 

As you can see, his forehead has red marks. Why? 

He likes to be outside and likes the stairs. 

Because he doesn't remember to go feet down always, sometimes goes head down. 

And that what happens. Busy boy. Oh mine.

This little, or I could say big man is ready to go to the school. On Wednesday we went to the back to school shopping with kids. They managed really well ( or I did with them???) We went to the mall, Mc Donald's and Walmart and got ALL SHOPPING DONE! YIKES! Can't believe!

 Two of my four kids are going to the school next week...iiks. Where the time has gone? But he is excited, very excited! I don't have to be nervous about him going to the school at all. 

And I can't waaaait to hear all the stories what happens at school. Now we will hear even more stories. REALLY EXCITING!!!!

We still have summer here. +30 every day. No beach anymore. But kids have been swimming at our neighbours pool everyday. And driving the bikes and jumping on the trampoline......basically, being outside at least 10hours per day. Loving it. I don't want that winter comes. please....don't come. But fall is exciting times...all the fun colours in the nature...aahhh....that I can't wait to see again. Our little maple forest beside our house is gorgeous in the fall <3. Ooh, that reminded me of this song..this is one of the most beautiful song what I have ever heard. And every time I hear it, I love Canada even more <3. 

"There are many flags now waving, over land and over sea, And though shot and shell are flying Canada I think of thee. It's the land I'd do or die for and my heart is there always, So when I get back home once more, 'tis there I'll end my days 

I love you Canada for you mean so much to me. I love your hills and valleys and your stately Maple tree, I love all your dear people tho' far away I roam, When I hear them speak of Canada, I long for Homer Sweet Home. 

When it comes to flowers and sunshine, Canada I think of you, And my pals here in the trenches, they are heroes staunch and true. Every Soldier in our army they have surely stood the test, And to them I talk of Canada the land I love the best.

I love you Canada for you mean so much to me. I love your hills and valleys and your stately Maple tree, I love all your dear people tho' far away I roam, When I hear them speak of Canada, I long for Homer Sweet Home."

Isn't it beautiful song or what??????????

Can't forget to tell you that this little man walks every day more and more! And believe or not, but he mostly likes to walk outside! Isn't that unusual?? But that what he does!!! Mostly he has taken 6steps...but it won't be long time anymore when he is running!!!!!!!!!!Hmm, that will be fun!

There is the fun couple who moved close to us. Aah, do we ever enjoy their time...always fun. Yes, always relaxing time. Last night we had a pizza party together...We made home made pizzas!!!!They were delicious. SOO SOOO GOOD!!!!Thanks for you company..let's do that again. 

Pst. look who is sleeping at the Nick's lap...yes, that's our little Eliel, who is building up the energy level :)!

And the yummy food....hjurps....

Monday afternoon, after my workday, we drove to the Ikea. Did some furniture shopping. Was time already. Have been waiting for this day little too long. But I knew it will come. Yes, we bought lots of stuff, but still there is TONS of things what I want to get to our house. Next time. Yes, next time. And it will come, right?

Jillian got new school table with a chair. She is really excited about it! Now she has OWN TABLE where to do crafts ( she loves !!!), write and colour and do her school work. 

Also all the kids got new bedding to their beds...they got to choose them :) it was fun to watch kids there. They got so excited about all the fun kids furniture what they had...Seba was in his glory :) he truly enjoyed his time there...the little tables, chairs, beds....

This is what makes the mom happy...:

We finally got CLOSETS for boys clothing!!!!

We bought those Pax-closet combinations...Now their clothes will be neatly folded and everything have a place. This makes me cry...I love it, absolutely love it. Now all the three boys sleeps in the same room , have their clothes there and toys and. Yes. Getting there. Slowly and surely. We still needs to buy doors. Didn't know what colour I want, so next time will get them. They will be brown, white or green. I think the brown will be the colour we will go. Let's see.

THE BEST THING WHAT HAPPENED IN THIS WEEK WAS.....

SEBASTIAN'S BIRTHDAY!!!!

He is now 3 years old little munchkin.

Last saturday at 7am we went to wake him up with a breakfast.....

He was so happy! He didn't want to open his eyes when he heard us singing. Then he saw all the goodies on the plate and the new bike what he got....he brighten up right away :D little cutie!

This bike has been his life this week.

He calles it "fire bike",

Haloo.

It's red, orange, yellow and black.

What else it could be?

:)

This evening we had a birthday party for him. Because I spent the day at work, Brian did all the preps for it. Now on, he will do every single one. That went little too good :)!

Sebastian was little shy as he always is when he gets attention.

" These candies are mine and I don't really care about the rest" 

Spider Man, Legos, Thomas the train - is HOT in our household. (+ fire trucks).

Look at that face of the Birthday boy...he is super cute!!!!

Aww!!

Now he is three. New year ahead. Last year at home, at porridge school. Ah, this little boy brings so much joy to the life. He is one of the special gifts what we have got.

Love you so much, Sebastian.

xoxoxo

I hope you never grow big, ok?

We still have little piece of the cake left. Want to have some?

:) 

Now its coffee time.

Tama ylla oleva kuva on kuva JOKAPAIVAISESTA elamasta. Vuorossa paloauton korjaus ;) Seba ihan omassa elementissaan! Ja kun auto on huollettu, niin sitten silla paasee taas lujasti (niin kuin Seba sanoo). 

Sunnuntai. Herasin jo aamulla aikasseen, ennen kaikkia muita tassa talossa...sain rauhassa kayda suihkussa, keitella kahvit ja laittaa hiukset kivasti. Ja arvatkaapas mita. Ma lahdin toihin!!!Mulla alkoi tanaan siis tyot. Vaikkakin virallinen aloituspaiva on vasta tulevana keskiviikkona, mutta otin varaslahdon. Hahah, kuten arvata saattaa. Ei vaan, meilla oli syksykokous aamulla, niin hyvahan se minunkin oli olla mukana, jotta paasen kaikkeen hauskaan mukaan, mita siella tapahtuu ja tietenkin, vaikuttamaan siihen, niin paljon kuin itse pystyn. Oli tosi kivaa nahda kaikkia tyokavereita, suurinosa vanhoja tuttuja ja muutamat uudet kasvot. Joo, Emppu teki heti itsensa tutuksi kaikille, alkutervehdykseni jalkeen, otettiin aamuverryyttelyt seka tietenkin, mitas muuta kuin peleja ja leikkeja ja kaikkee hauskaa :):):) olin elementissani. HETI. Tuli hyva fiilis. Sit ko mun osuus oli ohi, ni ruettiin kaydaan lapi kaikkee virallista.....joo, on sekin mielenkiintoista, on joo. No hei, on ihan oikeesti, ainaki ko on saannu eka vahan revitella, luovailla ja nauraa. Eikos se oo nii, et eka hauskanpito sitten tyo???????

This picture (above) tells about our boys EVERYDAY life. It was time to fix the fire truck. OF COURSE, you have to keep it in a good condition so it last loooooong. And then you can drive FAST again. And when I say FAST, it really means that boys drive like crazy...luckily they are still so young that driving school is still far ahead......huoh :)

Okei, and its Sunday. I woke up early this morning, loved it. Took a shower, made coffee and did my hair....and off I went to WORK. Yes, you read it right. I am back to work. ALREADY. year surely flies by....so fast. hmm, sometimes little too fast. BUT, I was really excited to go there today. We had fall kick off-meeting, so was fun to see all the people at work :) and yes, we had good time!

Taalla on viela ihanan lammin. Onneks nyt pari viimesta paivaa on ollut ihan aurinkoistakin. Meinas nimittain seinat paukahtaa talossa, kun ulkona sateli vetta monta paivaa perakkain. Huoh, meija lapset ei todellakaa oo mitaan sisaihmisia. Ja sit naa roolileikit. on pellea ja prinsessaa, palomiesta ja vaikka sun mita :) on hienoo seurata, kun he elaytyvat ihan taysin siihen rooliinsa mita esittavat. Kaikken hauskinta on seurata kun Jiggs ja Tristan leikkii Emppuu ja Briania :) tulee totuuksia julki.

We are enjoying this nice weather here now. And NO RAIN. finally. Got really sick of it already. I think it rain enough in Finland...don't need it here. So, finally sun is shining and kids can freely go play outside. Loving it. Loving it. LOVING IT. And as you can see, Tristan is having some fun outfit on :) role games; there is clowns, princesses, fire fighters (every day all the time) and so on...but the best game is when they play "Emppu and Brian", the truth comes out...hihih!

Ihan ku tuoksahtais kahvin tuoksu tuolta keittiosta....taytyypa lahta tsekkaa ja ottamaan kuppi tayteen kuumaa. Kaksi virallista aitiyslomapaivaa viela edessa. NIISTA MUUTEN NAUTITAAN SITTEN TAYSILLA. eli, samalla lailla kuin edellisista 363 paivasta!!!

Mukavaa Sunnuntaita!

I think I can smell fresh coffee...I better go check and get some....AAAANNNNDDD, two more maternity days ahead. Have to enjoy those days, FULLY!!!! what means, same way then other 363 days..life is good. still.

Have a happy Sunday. I am going to have some coffee. Now.

Monday..no, its already tuesday!

 Meinasin kirjoittaa et taas on maanatai selatetty, mutta sehan on jo tiistai!!!Kasittamatonta sentaan, miten vauhilla aika menee!Tana aamuna oli muuten lampoa talossa, sisalla ja ulkona! Yhdeksalta aamulla naytti mittari +25, ni eihan sita voinut muuta kuin pakata lapset ja tavarat ja lompsis rannalle!Siella ruikuteltiin puoleen paivaan...pojilla oli hauskaa rakennella ja mina juttelin kylalaisten kanssa..tulipahan taas uusia tuttuja. Selvispa jopa, etta eraan kylalaisen entinen naapuri oli ollut suomalainen. Sanoi, etta teissa on kaikissa se sama piirre. Mikahan piirre? Kysyin mut ei sanonut :)!

Iltapaivalla tuli ihan pikkuriikkisen vetta, mutta se raikasti ilman kivasti...ja vaikka pompittiin tramppiksessa, ei tullut edes kuuma!

I was going to write that Monday is behind but, -its already Tuesday! How come these days go so fast???IT WAS HOT THIS MORNING. Inside and outside, +25 at 9am. So we packed our stuff and off we went to the beach. Aah, its always so great to be there. Love it. Love it. Love it.

In the afternoon we got some refreshing rain...needed rain. And evening was soooo beautiful, it didn't get hot even we jumped on the trampoline all evening!

Hupsis. Menin jollekkin tassa mainitsemaan, etta "ei meijan lapset mitaan temppuja tee. Natisti vaan hyppii..", joo-oo. natisti hyppii..voltteja voltin peraan :) taidampa syoda sanani.

Hups. I told somebody that "our kids don't do any tricks on the trampoline..they just jump nicely". Okei, the picture above tells already how nicely they jump..;) I have to eat my words....

 Seba yrittaa. Yrittaa kovasti. Etta parjaisi paivan ilman vaippaa. Mutta. Yrittaminen ei vaan tuota tulosta :) aina tapahtuu vahinko...:)

Seba is trying. He is trying soooo soooo hard. He wants to be without diaper. But. Even though he is trying, he doesn't go forward...accident happens all the time :)

Elielille puhkesi toinen hammas lapi viikonloppuna! Meilla taa hampaidenteko on tosi heleppoa! Aiti huomaa vasta jalkeen pain, etta kappas, sinnehan on ilmestynyt hammas :)

Ja mukavasti pikku mies osaa purasta hampaillaan, joten...

Eliel got his second tooth on a weekend. Teething doesn't give me any problem, or I mean I noticed it after the tooth has come out :)

But he knows how to bite, so I decided...

...me siirryttiin eilen tuttipulloon!

:) eika oo mitaan ongelmaa.

Nyt saa purra rauhassa tuttipulloa, se ei kummemmin kiljahda eika karjase. :)

...to use bottle now on! And he doesn't have any problem with it!

Now he can bite the bottle as much as he want and it won't make any noise ;)

Lampimia terveisia

Lauantaina kavimme Farmer's Marketissa.

Siella oli tunnelmaa.

Ja me nautimme.

Kun paasimme kotiin, lapset perustivat oman torin.

Siella myytiin kaikkea traktoreista pyyhkeen kautta kenkiin.

Hyvin oli kauppa kaynyt...



Oli oikea torimeininki. Kilpailu hinnasta, kilpailu tuotteista.

Kuka saa myytya kaiken ensimmaiseksi?



 Olen ollut laiska voimistelemaan talla viikolla.

Mutta Eliel sen kun vaan jaksaa punnertaa :)

Meilla loppui paperi.

Mutta se ei Sebastiania haitannut.



ONNEKSI tussi oli vesiliukoista.

Sisalla on lampimampi kuin ulkona.

Joskus nainkin pain.

Taalla on kesa. Ja kuumuus.

Me nautimme.
