Bollurdagur - "Ball Day"




A day where it's all things ball-related. The kids made the ball-on-a-stick toy you see in the pic. The face looks a bit devilish, don't you think? The idea was to wake up Mama and Pabbi by spanking them yesterday. Where did THIS tradition come from? Lucky for us, it got left at school last Friday! They ate fiskurbollur (fish balls) for lunch and then the crowning glory for snack, a round pastry with chocolate on top and creme in the middle. Stefán leaves before afternoon snack time, but the director was kind enough to put one of the decadent pastries in a pokka (bag) for him. I was actually surprised they served them, as his school has a "health" theme and they never have sweets, but I suppose there's always one exception. A tasty one, too!
