Waterfun

At the end of May, we finally had some sunny and warm days. And, same as past few years, it turned from rainy and cold spring weather to mid summer temperatures in the course of one day. Still, the girls had fun with the sprinkler!

One dead guinea pig

Yesterday, one of our guinea pigs died. It was Meike, the mom of the two baby guinea pigs, and she was only 21 months old. Even for a guinea pig, this is not a very old age. We assume she must have been sick and are hoping that her sister, who is in the cage with her, won't die as well. Emma and Janne were a little sad, but not overly so. They did help bury the little animal and in that 'easy' way had their very first experience with death and burial.

Ready to say goodbye

Closing the grave

Movie night

The last weekend of May school break, me and the girls watched Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Emma is reading the books by herself (she just finished reading book #4) and I am reading the books to Janne. Currently, we are halfway through book #4. A while ago we watched the first Harry Potter movie and this time we wanted to watch The Sorcerer's Stone. That one was rented out though, so we opted for the next in line. We turned it into a real movie night; comfortable PJs, popcorn, drinks, blankets and we were ready for over two hours uninterrupted Harry Potter. Great fun indeed!
