We finished our "Icelandic for Parents" class today. Sad to see it end. It was a great twice a week gathering where three of us (a mom from Malaysia, an au pair from Germany and me) attempted to learn some Icelandic from our patient, lovely teacher, Katrin, while trying to keep our toddlers in check.

Yesterday was snow and swim day. Isn't it everywhere? Stefan got to play outside in the snow for a long while and then we went to the pool. I got dragged up the stairs several times to go down the huge, winding slide and you know what? There was SNOW on the stairs. Not to mention it was just about 34 degrees outside. :-)

There is LOTS more snow today and it's still coming down hard as I write. It's white as rice out there. Arni RODE his BIKE, with his newly installed studded tires, to work today. It was 25 degrees and dark as night. Stefan was laying in the snow, in his snowsuit, eating snow, when I arrived to pick him up this afternoon. Time to get some sleds for the boys (and put the snow tires on the car so I don't slide down the unsalted hill that leads from our building to the street)!
