Kaiyaが急に止まって上を見始めた・・・
Kaiya


Kaiya's favorite, a squirrel!!!!

Kaiyaの大好きなリスだぁ〜!!!


Mato prefers rabbits but if Kaiya looks up, then Mato looks up, too. lol

Matoはウサギの方が興奮するけど とりあえずつられて見る見る(笑)

It started to rain after a while but it didn't bother so we continued our long walk....then...

途中からパラパラ雨が降り始めたけど さほど気になることはなくちょいと長い散歩をしていたら・・・



All the sudden this.  Pouring rain.

We didn't find any shelter from rain nearby so we stood under a tree...but it didn't help in this crazy rain.

Actually we weren't so far from home so we just walked soaking :(((

急にバケツをひっくり返したような雨。

雨宿りができる場所が近くになくて木の下にいたけど 激しくなる雨には木の下では意味がなくなって 家までそんなに遠くなかったから結局ずぶ濡れになりながら帰ったよぉ〜(O_O)


Then 15-20 minutes after we got home.  It stopped raining and the sun came out!!!!

What a weather...

家に帰って来てから15分か20分後には雨が止んで太陽出て来た〜!!!

なんなんだぁ この天気わ〜(。-∀-)

Mommy's little stalker / マミーの小さなストーカーさん Sep. 20

Mommy had to work all day long today.   Kids spent a day with daddy who had a day off ;)

I was looking for kids to give a kiss to say bye before I left home...

マミーは1日仕事だったから 休みだったダディーと過ごしたお2人。

朝仕事に行く前に行って来ますのちゅーをしよう2人を探していたら・・・


Somebody was stalking me... lol

Kaiya sometimes does this...watching me covertly. :))))

ストーカー発見!!!!笑笑笑

Kaiyaさん たまに気づくとこんな感じでマミーのこと見てるwww


Mato, on the other hand, was easy to find ;))

All right guys, mommy's going to work.  Have a good day, you two :))))

Matoはわかりやすいとこに。

んじゃマミー行って来るよぉ〜!

Bored kids / お暇なお2人 Sep. 19

Mommy had a four-minute speech exam and have been pretty occupied preparing for it.

Finally, it's over and I can chill out for a bit.

Today I had a day off from work but I was preparing and practicing for the speech on this evening.  Kids were so bored that they slept a lot.

Naturally, Mato's taking a nap close to me.

I thought he was asleep but apparently he wasn't. lol

マミー 4分間スピーチのテストがあったからここのところ それに時間取られて全然ゆっくりできなかった。

けど今夜の授業でスピーチテスト終わったから 一安心。

今日は仕事が休みだったけど スピーチの準備してたから暇すぎて寝てばっかりだったお2人。

もちろんMatoは私の側でお昼寝。

寝てると思ったら 目開いてた(笑)
Mato


Kaiya was in the bedroom taking the bed all to herself.

Kaiyaさんはベッドを独り占め。

Yesterday and today, it was really warm in Stockholm.

It was over 20 °C during the day and I could walk around in a T-shirt.

It was such a nice day.  We went by the woods and chilled by the water :))

昨日今日ってすごく暖かいストックホルムだよ。

昼間は20度こえて半袖で過ごせた〜。

昨日は森の近くまで行って水辺で少し遊んだよぉ。

After running... / 走った後は・・・ Sep. 16

The last time when we were at the park up on the hill, trash was everywhere and it was little dangerous that we stopped going there for a while.

But when we stopped by today, it seemed like this place was cleaned!!

Time to have fun :))) 

ゴミが散らかってたりで危ないから 暫く行ってなかった高台の公園。

綺麗になってた!

ので いっぱい走ったよぉ〜!


Mato


After all the running, Kaiya was cooling down in this shade :)

Kaiyaさん 走った後はこの日陰でクールダウン(^O^)

Chestnut season / 栗の季節 Sep. 15

Autumn has arrived.  Fallen leaves and fallen chestnuts.

There are a lot of chestnut trees around here and you can find tons of chestnuts on the ground...the thing is...it's not the kind you can eat...dammit... :(

Anyways, somehow Kaiya loves to play with chestnuts and this rolling on a chestnut happens everyday now :)))

秋深まるこの頃〜。落ち葉に落ち栗。

この辺には栗の木が多いらしくて そこら中に栗が落ちてるんだけど 食べられる種類じゃないってのが残念 ( ̄  ̄)

Kaiyaはなぜか栗で遊ぶのが好きで 栗を見つけたら栗の上でゴロゴロするのが最近の日課w


Today's serious Mato.

本日の真面目顔Mato。



We came to this field in the early evening and luckily there wasn't anybody here.

They got to run a little ;)))

夕方にこの広場に来たらラッキーなことに誰もいないじゃなぁいかぁ〜い!

ので 少し走り回れたよぉ〜!

Long day / 長い1日 Sep. 13

Daddy went to London today with friends for a mini vacation :)

Mommy had to work long hours and took kids with me.

We went through the woods and stopped by the cliff.

It's been so long since the last we were here and kids got sooooo excited!!

It was Kaiya who went crazy first. lol

プチ旅行でダディが友達とロンドンに出かけたので 暫くマミーとKaiyaとMatoだけ〜。

マミーは1日中お仕事だったので また一緒にお仕事いったよ。

久しぶりに森を抜けて崖のとこに来たら 大はしゃぎ!

最初にKaiyaのスイッチが入った〜w








Now it's time to go to work otherwise mommy's gonna be late ;p

ささ もう行くよ〜!じゃないとマミー遅刻しちゃう〜!
Kaiya


Early evening walk.

Kids missed me so much while waiting in the office.  As soon as I got to the office, they gave me a lot of kisses then went to the door and sat there like saying "Hurry mommy, let's get out of here."

We took a walk along the lake.  They surely enjoyed it :)  But they were't too happy about going back to the office again ;p

Though my boss was still at the office when I got off the work little after 8:00 pm, so they had someone to keep them company ;)

We took the subway but got off at one station before the nearest station from our home so we can take the night walk.  And finally we got home after a long day :)

夕方のお散歩。

オフィスでのお留守番で寂しかったのか マミーがオフィスに行ったら興奮していっぱいキスしてくれて んでもってすぐにドアの前に行って座り込みw・・・"マミー!早く行こう!"とでも行っているよう(笑)

湖沿いをお散歩したよぉ。KaiyaもMatoも散歩を楽しんだけど オフィスにまた戻るのはあまり嬉しそうじゃなかった(^^;)

でもまたいい子にお留守番してたよ。ボスもオフィスに遅くまでいたからKaiyaとMatoだけじゃなくて誰かいて良かった(о´∀`о) 夜の8時過ぎに仕事終わってみんなで少し電車に乗って散歩しながら帰ったさぁ〜(^O^)

New friends / 新しい友達 Sep. 12

We made some new friends this morning ;)))
今朝は新しい友達ができたよぉ〜(о´∀`о)




They were all females except Chilli and Mato.  And Kaiya is very cocky against other females so she stayed with me.

シリィとMato以外は女の子。他の女の子にはちょいとガウガウ気味Kaiyaさんだからマミーの横にいてもらったよ。


It was very windy when we took afternoon walk.

When we pass by here, Kaiya always wants to walk on this bridge.

And somehow she just sits there for a while. lol

午後の散歩は風が強かった〜。

ここを通ると必ずこの橋の上に来たがるKaiya。

そして何をするわけでもなく暫くお座りw
Kaiya


Mato has to wait although he just wants to go forward. :p

待たされてるMatoは早く先に進みたいようだねw
Mato

Running like crazy in the rain / 雨の中大興奮 Sep. 11

Morning walk with Chilli.

We met someone knew when we were at the dog park.

朝はシリーとお散歩。

ドッグランにいたら 初めて見る子に会ったり。


And then we met Leia, too.

ミックス犬のレイアに会ったりしたよ。


Butt gang♡

プリプリ お尻ギャング♡


Camouflage.  Ninja Kaiya.

忍法隠れ身の術。by Kaiya


It started to rain in the afternoon.

Kaiya didn't wanna go out in the rain but once she's out, it didn't matter.

They got so excited and ran so much!

朝は天気良かったけど 午後は雨に変わっちゃった。

雨で渋々外にでたKaiyaだったけど 暫くしたら大興奮な2人だったよ。

Our respective Sunday / それぞれの日曜日 Sep. 09

Kaiya was chasing birds this morning, which is really rare.

It's good that she's energetic though ;)

今朝は珍しくKaiyaさんが鳥たちを追いかけ回してた。

元気 元気(^○^)


Today Mato took a nap pressing his head to my knee. lol

Matoくんは今日はマミーの膝に頭を付けてお昼寝(笑)
Mato


While mommy was studying hard for the test tomorrow, this boy was sleeping peacefully and mommy wanted to take a nap, too!!!!

明日テストだから必死こいて勉強してるマミーの隣でぐっすり昼寝なんていい身分じゃ( ̄∀ ̄)
Mato


Post office / 郵便局 Sep. 08

Walking walking.

トコトコ トコトコ。


The sun shined bright and it was warm this morning.

今朝は太陽出てポカポカ〜。


Still walking walking.

まだ トコトコ トコトコ。


More walking walking.

まだまだ トコトコ。


Kaiya〜!


Mato〜!


Almost there.

もうちょっとだ。
Mato

Kaiya


There it is!

見えた〜!


It's a post office.

Mommy's mom sent a package and we came here to receive it,

郵便局到着〜(^○^)

マミーのママが荷物を送ってくれて それを受け取りに来たんだ〜。


You know, in Sweden, they don't deliver packages to your place.

If the parcel doesn't fit in your post box, you usually get a notification letter that says you have a package to pick-up.

Then you go to the service point which is indicated on the notification letter and pick up the parcel.

It's really pain in the butt!

It was super easy when I lived in Japan.  Parcels are always delivered to your door but not here in Sweden.

We used to have a pickup counter at the nearest grocery store across the street from our apartment.

But they closed the counter a while back so now we have to go long way to this post office to pick up packages...who knows you might get a huge and heavy package and have to walk home all the way with it :(

Though, we took a detour to get here to kill time until they opened since they open late on weekends.

実はスウェーデンって荷物を家まで届けてくれないんだよ〜。

郵便箱に入らない荷物は大抵荷物届いてますよぉっていうお知らせの紙が自宅に届いて その紙を持ってそれに書いてある受け取りサービス場所に取りに行かなきゃいけないの。

一言。めんどくさい!

日本のサービスはすげぇよ!不在だったら連絡入れればまた届けに来てくれるでしょ?

こっちは最初から届ける気ないからw

前までは家のアパートの道挟んだ向かえのスーパーで荷物受け取りカウンターあったけど ちょっと前にそのサービスやめちゃったから 最近は家から大分離れたとこまで取りに行かなきゃいけなくて本当に不便(-_-)

あっでも今日は郵便局が開く時間が遅かったから 開店時間に合わせて散歩しながら遠回りして行ったから 普段より長く歩いたよぉ。



After we got home from morning walk, I was reading a book on the bench on the balcony.  Then I realized someone was sleeping under me. lol

あさんぽから帰って来て バルコニーのベンチで本読んでたら 私の下で寝てる人がいたw
Kaiya


After a while I moved back inside, then of course, mommy’'s boy finally got in the right place to take a nap ;)

暫くしてから中に移動したら マミーっ子がやっとマミーの横でお昼寝〜(о´∀`о)
