Things Lili likes

Pulling people's hair, food, hugs, having her stomach tickled, food, pulling people's hair, headbutting, waking up at 3 am, watching her brother goof around, trying to climb out of her bathtub and this

Chores

So while Dada was away (in Kyiv or if you don't stick to the strict Ukranian translation- Kiev) this past weekend, I thought I would relax. Wake up early and rest a bit on the couch, watch a little TV, play with legos, do some artwork, take a nice nap, maybe go on a little stroll to the park, the usual. As it turns out, Dada does a fair amount of work around the house, and with him not here, and a long week of work behind everyone, I felt like my Mama was a little overwhelmed. So I decided to help out. As it turns out I am very handy, and probably already outdo Dada (because I am super enthusiastic and he is not really into doing the laundry). I helped to make bread pudding (yummy!), loaded and unloaded many loads of laundry (ok, most of it was my stuff but still), and then did some sweeping (although I was pretending to play doctor at the time- seemed like something a doctor would or should do, no?). Anyways, it was a good weekend and I still spent some serious time with the legos.
Miki

What were my parents thinking?

I think I might be too small for that basin. I still love it, but really, who are we kidding, I am a big girl now. Not to mention that I can probably open the faucet ( see my hand right there?), which might not be such a good idea ( especially since we are in the land of uncontrolled hot water temperatures). But I do have to say, I am pretty cute, even in my new slimmer state.

Lili

Editor's comment- disclaimer- Lili is no longer bathed in the sink like that. These pictures were taken when, due to unforeseen circumstances, she required an immediate bath at a time when the bathtub was already occupied. But I do agree, she looks cute.

Back when...

Back when it was warm, back when Noja was here, back when Lili only had two teeth, or in other words, forever ago, we went on a daytrip to Castel Gandolfo. This is the Pope's summer residence, located up the hill from a beautiful volcanic crater lake called Lake Albano. We walked around a bit, had a nice lunch with a superb view of the lake and then went swimming. The water was beautiful and clear. We had bread for Lili to snack on, a boat for Miki to play with and rented a bed for Mikael to nap on. What a perfect day!
