Japanese morning / 日本犬の朝 Mar. 07

Taro!!!

We met Kaiya's favorite friend Taro this morning!

It's a mini Japanese dog gathering :p

They played sooo much!

タロ〜〜〜〜！！！

今朝はKaiyaの大好きな柴犬のタロに会ったぁ！

ミニ日本犬祭り・・なのか？（笑）

みんなでいっぱい遊んだよぉ〜！

Very playful Taro.  He wants to play with Mr. Chili...

But Chili is a mature man.  He's not interested ;p

シリィおじさんと遊びたいタロ。

でも　シリィは大人だから　興味ナッシング。

What a fun morning we had!!

朝からめっちゃ楽しかった〜！！

What's that? / あれなんだ？ Mar. 06

Both Kaiya and Mato stopped and looked in the same direction in the middle of the morning walk.

I wonder what they were looking at...

あさんぽの途中でお2人さんが何かガン見。

ガン見している方を見てみると・・・

Mato

Kaiya

Ah, that's why...

There was a boat going in circle crushing the ice on the lake and making a lot of noise.

 ガッガッガッ・・・

氷が張った湖を船がぐるぐる回って氷を割ってた〜。

Hunting play / 狩り遊び Mar. 05

We met a 5 months old Dalmatian boy this morning!

Soooo cute and he was very friendly...towards humans.

He was actually extremely scared of other dogs.

His tail was in between the rear legs whole the time yelping and running away from others.

Well, Kaiya and Mato can be little too cocky...sorry about that...

Even so, his scream was unusual... Are Dalmatians sort of timid breed?

今朝は５ヶ月のダルメシアンの男の子に会ったよぉ〜。

めっちゃ可愛いくて人には懐っこいんだけど　犬同士だとビクビク君。

尻尾を後ろ足の間にしっかり挟んで　キャンキャン泣きながら逃げまくってた〜(^^;)

うちの子たち生意気だしね　ちょっと怖がらせちゃったかもだけど　それにしてもすごい怖がり方。

ダルメシアンって気の小さい犬種なのかな？？

It started to snow in the afternoon.

And this is the one who tried to hunt.

さてさて　午後からチラチラ雪が降り始めた〜。

んでもって　狙うヒト。

This is the one who's gonna be hunted. lol

狙われるヒト。

Mato

And their usual play begins.

そして始まる　いつものやつ。

Early birds on Sunday / 日曜も早起き Mar. 04

It wasn't that cold as it usually was today.  It was about -3°C or -4°C.

It's nice that my fingers don't freeze as long as I have gloves on when it's this cold.

My kids, of course, woke me up early as usual on Sunday morning :(  Well, we took early walk as well.

Couldn't get enough light from the cloudy sky to take good photos but kids were having fun running like crazy ;))))

今日は寒さがわりかし和らいで　マイナス３、４度くらいだったかなぁ。

このくらいだと手袋してれば指先まで冷たくなることはないから楽〜。

日曜なのに　いつものごとく　2人に早くに起こされたから　早めのあさんぽ行ってきたよ！

曇りだったから　光足りなくていい写真撮れなかったけど　いっぱい走って楽しそうだったのだ。

This nose is... / この鼻は・・・ Mar. 03

Hey Mommy!

マミー　みっけ！

Mato

 When I hide, Mato is the first one who searches and finds me ;)

隠れるといつも真っ先に見つけに来てくれるMatoだよ(*´∀｀*)

Can you tell who this is??  I think it's easy.  This nose is...

これだ〜れだ？この鼻を見れば簡単かなぁ〜？

Mato

Sunny and very warm when you are inside the house.

I totally feel you, Mato.  Though I didn't take a nap but daddy did ;)

太陽が眩しく輝いてて　家の中にいればめっちゃ暖かい〜。

だよねぇ〜Mato。こんな日はお昼寝したくなるよねぇ〜。でもマミーはお昼寝しなかったけど　ダディがしてたぞ(￣∇￣)

Took a easy walk in the afternoon.

Except cleaning, we had a laid back Saturday :)

午後散歩はゆったり〜。

今日はお掃除した以外は　KaiyaもMatoもマミーとゆったりな１日でした〜。

Flying dogs / 浮く犬 Mar. 02

It didn't snow and the sun was shining.  It was such a beautiful day!

These are from the early evening walk .

今日はね 雪は降らないで　太陽も出てすんごく綺麗な日だった〜。

こちらは　夕方のお散歩。

Kaiya's going crazy as usual.

またもKaiyaさんが止まらない〜w

Everyday / 毎日 Mar. 01

It snows everyday here in Stockholm right now.

Yeah that's right.  Today is the first day of March.  It feels like we're in the right middle of the winter instead of feeling the coming of spring.  This week's been the coldest week in this winter.  

ストックホルム。毎日降ってます。雪。まじで。

今日は確か３月１日じゃなかったっけぇ？？　春の訪れを感じていていいはずなのに　今週が今冬一番寒くて　真冬真っ只中な感じ。

Yesterday morning was worse.  It was a blizzard and, my kids look like these ⇩

昨日の朝のが雪がすごくて　お2人さんはこんな感じ〜⇩

"Today's snow....tasty!"

"本日の雪は・・・美味なり！"　

Mato

Somebody's been walking the path that I made on the snow.  Smart ass ;p

振り向くと　私が新雪を歩いて作ったあとを歩いている賢いKaiya（笑）

Kaiya

This morning.

こちらは今朝。
