me me me you you you us us us

I have had so much me me me me meeeee around me lately that I really started thinking that is it ME :) is it me just beeing tense or is the others.. I dont know. All I know is that selfishness I see around me just irritates me more than usual.. I guess Im also getting a bit nervous myself since Im leaving now and just wish things go smoothly.. buuuut never mind.. this is life. Things will happen anyway, no matter if we wanted or not..

We only have one life and I try be on top of these situations -
 by being nice. I dont think anyone wins anything by being not nice.

but hey..

                              2 DAYS and beach and sun is all there.. in front of me!

WOHOOO
I made it. we made it.
Thank you Siberia, I love you but I also love away from you.


sooo busy running around doing this and doing that.. and mostly to be with Ines and Oskar.
 ( football football )

 what is cool is that Oskar got these shoes when he was 4 months old..now Marc has them!

                             my daughter is crazy as me.. this water was freaking cold!

my so smart crazy monkeys.. I sometimes wonder how did they ever turn out so smart and good kids. Whose genes are these.. heh.. They really are. Schools and nurseries have never ever said nothing but  good. And then they come home and start fighting and screaming.. where  did all this good disappear????
-.. joooking.

                             They are really good kids and I am very proud of them..

Shakira! 

School started in Finland and my son was veeeery happy to see his friends, He loves school. Always have and lets hope will do ..couple more years :)

I have had a really big hell for 6 months - lack of communications and misunderstandings-  that lead to court with these kids dad. So.. at the moment its just pure gold of happiness cuz things have settled down in a very cool way. everyone seems happy and everyone won.

Music has always been the thing that gives me energy and just is there.. I could not live without music and sometimes some songs just hit the moment peeeerfect. I dont know how many tens of times I have listened to this Robbie Williams song.. its just me .. I laugh and smile and I cry - I love it. its just so me.. " give me endless suuummmer.. lord I fear the cold.. I feel Im getting old,  before my tiiiiime.. "  thats exactly how I feel. very often. I love this song. Maybe will not do harm to some other people in this world either to listen to these lyrics.. I love it.

also.. these months alone with Marc.. uff.. I can really tell now that time does make memories golden and more pretty.. baby life, its tough. Im tired!!.. I cant wait to go back " home" and get the other adult to make life a bit more easy.. But I have to say Im really lucky Marc has not been sick at all really, nothing like that at all.. lets keep it this way, muchas gracias! . He is just 100% happy and no allergies nothing like that. Im just tired of waking up at nights. Im old! jajajaja..who did say " having a baby at almost forties its just the best"  - ... it is.. it is.. Im just tired.. sleep will do it :)

couple days and just  pack and go. Ive got it all. Ill be back in less than 3 weeks. Tomorrow I go get Ines and Oskar and we wohoo spend 2 super days together again and then 4 am hello taxi and hello airport and if my plane for some reason wont get up to the clouds I maybe scream .. I wont. or if so..just a little bit. silently. in toilet or something.

there are couple things I never travel without..

Pippi! Peppi!

I have always always aaaalways since like 20yrs or so had a small Pippi with me. Pippi is Swedish but I dont care. Pippi is all nordics, we all loved her when were kids and we all still do as adults :)
Pippi goes where I go!

'                                              Go check it :  PIPPI

Also some music.. I very rarely buy Finnish music myself bur some of it has a meaning and are gifts or souveniers or memories of something or someone important.
Just in case I get homesick..

La Liga has started and I just cannnnnnot wait to be in BCN to watch Football!
now I see it online...but its noooot the same.  Bcn is Fc Barcelona. Theres is a Barca game the same day I go back.. and what a funny co-incidence again.. its Malaga-Fc Barcelona. The game I always watch and dont really know who to support since we lived down south for a year. It was the first game I took Oskar to see at Camp Nou and it was the last game I took him to see at Camp Nou before we moved to FIN and I just think its funny, could be any team from the liga that Sunday they play against, but no. Its Malaga! hih.

 Ines is the party princess of our family and she kept saying she wants a party. So we did.
A sunshine party!  Im sure everyone is bummed who was not there!

                                      I have enjoyed many pretty sunsets lately..

                            I love you Finland, you made me who I am for many years..
                                     but Im sorry Im just happy to be packing away..

                                              Papiiii.. we are almost home! 

Helsinki Summer Memories 4

If there is something I would like to take from Finland with me to Spain is these cool indoor playparks. I have never seen in Barcelona anything like these we have here. I was already  when living in Malaga thinking a lot about setting up similar there for all Scandinavian kids. But I guess its also the weather factor.. the summer is so long in Spain, and winter weather nice and ok too,  maybe these would go out of business..
dont know.. but we like them!
This is the newest one in Helsinki, has been open only couple months.
I think its supercool!

12 bucks entrance on a bad weather day is not bad, but other stuff they sell there.. food, coffee, sodas, candies.. soooooo expensive. ufff.. a real rip off.

                They even have a disco room and a cinema with 3D movies showing non stop..

            Finnish candies.. are just the best! In Spain they just have bad candies.. why is that???

And another thing I would LOOOOOVE to take with me from this mid siberian country..
is of course FRIENDS!

We had a lovely day at a swimming pool place.. but one thing that disappointed me is the amount of NO - DO NOT- YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED signs that Finland is full of.. at the pool there was all kinds of sings everywhere saying no no no no.. And taking fotos was very strictly banned. They kept saying it on loudspeakers in every 30 minutes.. I do understand there is bad people in this world who likes to take fotos of kids and use them badly.. ( and learned this is actually the reason, they had caught a man who had been taking fotos of kids ) and its such a pity that because of these people we cannot take memories of our own kids. Like for instance boys were jumping from 7.5m to the pool and we could have got really cool memories for them... But No. You never know.. this might have been the last beautiful sunny swimming day of the summer 2013 in Finland.

However, I did take couple before they came to tell me I have to stop.. bad criminal me.
These are all our kids and agreed to be ok to publish these..

 These two has 2 weeks apart in their age and have been like brother and sister for years.

                                          Dude just can´t go anywhere without a ball..

Princess was the only one who can´t swim yet properly.. and she was bummed! Maybe gets her a bit of energy for the next swimming school .. last one she took the teacher said " she would have learned more if she did not fool around so much "

                   Even the little man got to wear his swimming suit for the first time ever!

                       Even though everything is forbidden..   Nice swimming day we had!

               as well as a sunny warm pretty evening with friends friends and more friends!

Im getting worried these kids nowdays are just staring at a screen.. BOOKS! what happened to real books.. they all seem to be too busy to read them nowadays! not acceptable for my children. Books are the basics of everything and should never be forgotten.

            luckily girls still know how to draw and paint and play old fashion doll games
                                                ( älä häiritse - do not disturb )

                                                   the little man just eats ..

I made some treasure hunting maps for crisp bags at the yard.. and all I heard.. "these maps are wrongly done.." - but at the end.. we did find them all .. come on kids.. kept you busy for almost an hour - away from the screens! :)

                                              The more the merrier! Always!
 

                    I will miss you loads chica! Life is never the same without you nearby!
