Busy days

We have had a busy few days lately. And very nice. On Saturday we finished up our exchange student's bedroom so that it would be ready for him when he arrived. Tommi brought us the wood for the bottom of it and the wood for the balcony rail that we are now replacing. I tried to take it in the car but it was too big so I asked him to pick it up. The weather was wonderful, almost 20°C and sunny so we spent most of the day outside.

On Sunday we picked up Karl. He seems to be a nice kid and the girls love him :) He came with me and the girls over to Ella's yesterday for the boys' birthday party and I heard the girls giggle when he was playing with them. They didn't want to come home when I wanted to but I'm bigger than they are - and got help. Borrowed Tommi's drill, ours are not wide enough for the drill bit that we need to put the rail. I took yesterday off, the weather was good again and we were just working around the house and getting some bits and pieces that we needed. Got window sills for the living room windows, hopefully we will be able to put them up soon. Balcony rail is next, then we're also planning to paint the woodwork around the front door - and the rail needs to be painted. It's been nice to fix things around the house to make it look nicer and more useful if you can say that.

Sólveig Lilja wasn't too happy with Karl sleeping in their new room and wanted him to leave. But that was just the first night. The first night Kristín Lára also went out of bed and into his room and said when I caught her that she was just closing the closet! Little devil.
