Inside fun

It was rainy yesterday afternoon so we stuck to inside activities.

Doing hand prints.

"Mama, I'm all painty." No kidding :-).

Playing with the shower head was lots of fun, and not as messy as I feared.

"Mary skegg." Translation: Mary beard.

Racing with cars.

Cleanliness all around

Mary has a keen interest in cleaning.

Scrubbing/drowning baby Anna in the bath tub.

Brushing Elmo's hair while snuggling with him.

Preparing to wash the eggs.

Eating some "Dora" soup. Not exactly sure what that means :-).

Around town

Some pictures from our weekend.

Mary inched her way under Pabbi so she could do push-ups right next to him.

Bubbles with Mama. Rain pants really come in handy in Iceland.

Phone pics

Here are some pictures from my phone since we moved to Iceland.

That's how Mary rolls.

Lesson #2: Unzip the PJs.

Katrín is my friend!

Baking some delicious banana bread.

Alright, let's get to work!

Chilled chocolate goodness.

Wearing her school uniform.

Mary is tight with Bob the Builder.

Can I keep him, Mamma?

Some play time

I was in Boston for the weekend so today consisted of lots of Mama and Mary time :-).

Trying on all of her new shoes! Mary's been stuck with only sneakers since all of her summer shoes are inappropriate for Icelandic weather.

I know, I'm a slave driver.

It wasn't raining, but that didn't stop Mary from wearing her hood.

Checking somebody else's mail slot for mail.

Chilling with baby Sonja

Mary was very interested in Sonja this evening.

Snuggling together.

Comparing piggies.

Helping Einar Fraendi with the bottle.

Then doing it all by herself!

Iceland adventures with Aunt Nancy

Aunt Nancy came for a visit and Mary had a great time showing her around Iceland.

Taking a walk at Þingvellir.

Mary was very impressed by the waterfall.

It was super windy as Geysir, but we saw some good geyser action.

Visiting a museum.

Mary was eager for her new horse key chain to gallop around the city.

She is all about buckles these days. Luckily she has not yet mastered unbuckling things.

A nice view from the pearl.

Making some banana bread.

Visiting the duck pond with Pabbi.
