Smell Like A Monster Sesame Street Spoofs The Old Spice Guy

I Love Sesame Street! Grover is too cute in his 'Old Spice' spoof for the word on!

Raymond

I know he is a bit creepy, but I love this video! And that poor cheese looks so frightened!

where did the fall weather go?

It looks like Autumn outside with the leaves turning lovely shades of yellow, red, and burnt orange, but what is up with the weather? I am already wearing a thin jacket under my coat and it is just the end of September! I believe that in 2 weeks I will have to break out my Winter clothes. To me this is a huge disappointment because I love Fall weather, but this wind out there will cut right through you!! *sigh* I suppose I will take what I can get and be glad of it.

who wants to be sick?

We don't! There has been the flu and other manner of sicknesses going around the daycare I am at, and I was lucky enough to be one of the workers that got sick. I went to the doctor on Thursday and he gave me meds and a 'sick leave vacation'. I don't have to go back until Wednesday of this coming week. Of course I am all for sharing, and now poor Kai is sick too. And this is his last week of Summer vacation! Poor guy. I feel awful for having shared my germs with him. Let's hope this epidemic has played itself out by the time I return to work!! As it stands now we are single-handedly keeping the Kleenex people in business!

copped a feel?

As you know I am back at the päiväkoti where I had my työharjoitelu (internship) working on an extension. Yesterday I was helping a little boy (3 yrs. old) get into his outdoor clothes to play in the yard when he just reaches right into my shirt, grabs a handful and squeezes! Then he asks, "what is this? It's a fly?". As I was laughing too hard to explain to him what was what, one of the girls that work there explained that no, it was a boob. He thought about that for a minute and then announced that he has boobs. There again she had to explain to the poor dear that he didn't have boobs and of course he wanted to know why. The short and simple answer was: girls = boobs, boys = no boobs!

Stockholm

Here are just a few of the pictures that I took while in Stockholm over the weekend. The majority of them are on my Facebook page, but I thought I would post just a few of them here as well. Seems like I never post many pictures nowadays. Enjoy!

Parliament

Behind the House of Nobility. I was really struck by this particular building.

Another side of the Parliament building. It sits next to the King's Palace.
