No break today / 今日は休憩なし Aug. 10

It rained much earlier before we took a walk this morning.

That's why it's bit wet on the ground and it was bit cool.

今日は朝私たちが散歩に出るずっと前に雨が降ったんだよぉ〜。

ので　ちょっとだけウェットな地面にちょっとだけ涼しげな朝。

No need to take a break in the middle of the walk today so it went very smoothly ;)

今日は散歩の途中で休憩入れなくてもよかったから　スイスイ進んだぞ(^ ^)

Kaiya

Serious face / 真剣な眼差し Aug. 09

A hot day again!!!

We took a break on the lawn as Kaiya requested.

Mato didn't seem to be needed a break but what the heck and chewed a stick instead.

いやはや　またもや暑くなった〜。

Kaiyaさんのご要望で　散歩の途中で休憩。

しょうがなくMatoくんも腰を下ろして棒をカミカミ。

Kaiya

Mato

Wow.  What is it Mato?  Why are you looking so serious??

あらら　珍しく真剣な眼差し。

Hot and windy / 暑くて風の強い日 Aug. 08

It went up to 30°C again today and got windy in the evening today.

Kaiya woke me up early as usual...I dragged myself out of the bed and came out to take a walk ;)

今日はまた30度まで上がったよ。んでもって　夕方からは強い風が吹いてきた。

Kaiyaさんにいつものように朝早く起こされて　マミーは今日も頑張って起きてお散歩に出てきた朝〜。

Kaiya tried to get Mato to play with her but he sidestepped and came straight to me instead.

Matoと遊ぼうと絡もうとしたKaiyaを躱して　マミーの方にまっすぐ来るMatoくん。

Mato (left)                  Kaiya (right)

Such a mommy's boy.  He comes near me time to time when we are in the dog park.

甘えん坊男子のMato。ドッグランにいる時は何かしててもちょいちょい私のところに来るんだよねぇ。

Mato

She's trying again.  Ready to hunt Mato. lol

どうやら再チャレンジ。Kaiyaの構えが入りました。

Kaiya

Here she goes.

そらきた。

Kaiya

Run Mato Run!!!

Mato逃げろ〜！

This morning... / 今朝・・・ Aug. 07

when we were playing in the dog park,

ドッグランで遊んでいたら

Kaiya (left)                 Mato (right)

someone was coming towards the park.

誰かが近づいてくる模様。

Mato

It's Simba and grandma!

シンバとおばあちゃんだ！！！

Hey Simba!

シンバ　元気〜？

My kids started to play again...

うちの子２人が遊び始めると・・・

Mato (left)                            Kaiya (right)

Simba went in the middle and stoped them.

間に入るシンバ。

Kaiya (left)                       Mato (right)

Then they started again.

また遊び始めると。

Simba stoped them again. lol

It looked like they were fighting since they played hard but they weren't really fighting, Simba.

Well, this is one of the dogs' behaviors so I get it Simba.

また止めに入られたw

激しいから喧嘩してるように見えるけど　そうじゃないんだよ　シンバ。

まぁこれも犬の習性　しょうがないね。

Mato (left)                  Kaiya (right)

Sunny and fine day :)

今日もいい天気。

Mato

We took a nice and long morning walk together ;)

みんなで気持ちいいあさんぽをしたのでした(^○^)

Mommy is back / ただいま Aug. 06

I came back last night from UK.

When I opened the front door, Kaiya and Mato ran to the door and welcomed me.

I expected little more dramatic welcoming but they were calm and acted exactly the same as when I come back from work everyday.

Probably they knew I would be back eventually that they didn't get anxious...I assume. 

昨日の夜にイギリスから帰って来たよぉ〜。

ガチャっと玄関のドアを開けると駆け寄って来たKaiyaとMato。

もっとテンション高めで出迎えてくれると思ったけど　なんか普段仕事から帰ってくるときと同じくらいのテンションで拍子抜け。

まぁ　きっとマミーは絶対帰ってくるってわかってたから　不安にならなかったのかな？

Today was very nice and cool day.

It felt like the real Swedish summer was finally here.   

I guess kids liked it, too.  They ran a lot!

今日はとっても涼しい天気。

やっと北欧の夏って感じの日で　涼しいからか　よく走る。

Eat out / 外食 Aug. 02

It was hot again as usual in Stockholm.

Mommy got extra sweaty at the gym.

Kaiya and Mato did also little exercise or just warm ups at the dog park.

今日もストックホルムは暑かったよ〜。

ジムに行ったらいつも以上に汗だくになったマミーだよ。

KaiyaとMatoは朝ほんのちょこっとドッグランで走って遊んでた。

Daddy and mommy went out this evening with friends to have dinner at the boat restaurant Patricia.

It's the same place we went to last year for mommy's birthday dinner.

夜はダディとマミーは友達とボートのレストラン　パトリシアに行って来たよ〜！

去年もマミーの誕生日ディナーで来たとこだよ。

The view from this place is outstanding.

You can the city hall and the church on the other side.

ここからの景色は最高。

向こうには市庁舎や教会も見えるよん。

For the starter, I had a toast skagen.

前菜は　トーストスカーゲン（エビのディルマヨ和え&トースト）。

Daddy had a lobster for the main course.

ダディはメインにロブスター。

And mommy had a steak.

マミーはステーキ。

Most importantly, the desert was the huge apple pie.  We all shared ;)

デザートは　でっかいアップルパイをみんなでシェアして食べたよぉ〜！

We had such a wonderful evening.

大満足な夜でした。

Mommy is leaving to London tomorrow for 3 days so no blog entries for couple of days.  See ya when I come back!

明日から３日間マミーはロンドンなので暫くブログはお休みで〜す。

Lamb / ラム Aug. 01

Yes,

これは・・・

as you can see, they are in the car.

見ての通り車の中。

Tadaa! We visited uncle Kay!

Kaiya loves uncle Kay so much and gave him lots of kisses.

着いた先はケイおじさんの家！

ケイおじさんとラブラブKaiya。

We were actually invited for the dinner today because they were grilling lamb meat.

Also there were tzatziki, hummus, saffron rice and etc.  Everything tasted so goooooood!

ラムをグリルするからってお呼ばれしてたんだ。

サフランライスにザジキにホンモスとかあってめっちゃ美味しかった〜。

We had such a wonderful time!

そして　楽しかった〜！

Kaiya and Mato got lamb neck bones which mommy brought from home for the dinner.

KaiyaとMatoはマミーが持参したラムの首の部分の骨がご飯。

Uncle Kay's dad made some Baklava for the dessert.  They were unbeliveably delicious!!!

ケイおじさんのお父さんがデザートにバクラヴァ作ってくれて　めっちゃうまかった〜！
