Ingrid made a Totoro hoodie

Bits and pieces:

  • Saving money for a robot dog. Volunteers for emptying the dishwasher, doing grocery shopping etc to earn extra money. Vacuuming the floors is her favourite job.
  • Really likes listening to music. Turns on music before sitting down for breakfast, or starting to cook dinner, etc.
  • Favourite artist/group, according to herself: Little Mix.
  • Favourite food, according to herself: ketchup.
  • Favourite summer activity, according to me: swimming. At home she was in and out of the pool all day every day, and any time we’ve gone swimming here in Estonia, she’s the first one in and the last one out. Diving, jumping, splashing, swimming – anything.
  • Has started reading a book – an actual, real book, with no pictures, instead of the endless Kalle Anka comics. I bought the book for her, read it myself and loved it, and now she is reading it on her own. It’s The Iron Trial from the Magisterium series.

Carving stuff out of pine tree bark

(I’m in Estonia with the kids. Our days are full and our evenings are late, so I have neither time nor energy for more than a very brief post. And I left all my photos at home on my external hard drive so I only have pictures from the last week with me.)
