These pictures were taken during our first stay with Davíð's Uncle Richard, his partner Peirette and their two awesome kids - Jacques and Sonia. Jacques could very well be spelled wrong - I'm not so good with the French names.

Toronto Day 2

We were so lucky to start out our adventure with the TORONTO FAMILY. Amazing. My first Saturday in Canada (weeks ago now) was spent out in the sun, seeing the local farmers market and drinking amazing coffee. Here are a few pictures.

out at the farmers market with Pierrette

Coolest pet store ever! Big Als, its so fun you just go to look at stuff

Building a slip and slide in Richards yard

Wasn't slippery enough so they added dish soap

Still not slippery enough so they added canola oil they tee tree oil, then they were really disgusting!

The coolest big cousin ever Jacques

please do not take your time

My teachers have three weeks to finish marking our exam, from the test date.
I am very happy that most of my teachers followed this, but am really unhappy with the one class that did not.
Seriously, our last exam was on April 11th. That is more then 5 weeks ago. And whats more, it was an oral exam, seriously, I am sure they knew our mark before we left the room. So whats the wait? And such a long wait.
And if all that is not annoying enough now my student loan is all messed up, because the university does not have a mark for me then the student loan people assume that I failed. This reeking some serious havoc on my banking.
Some good news is that I am sure I did not fail the class because the marks that they have put in the system are all looking very good.

Big Plans

I had such high hopes for this week. I planned on getting so many things done.
Making lobster soup with classmates, coffee with friends I had have been neglecting, serious gym time, spring cleaning, dreams.
None of this worked out as planned because since Monday afternoon I have been limping around with a cast.
It is not as bad as it sounds but I was running, with a phone at my ear, down some stair and at the bottom, tripped and smashed myself into the pavement. The phone looked rough, I looked worse. After complaining all evening I went into emergency with a fractured wrist. Got a cast now. Went back after a couple days because my leg was still hurting, a lot, and rather purple,  got told off by the doctor for not getting it looked at on Monday.
So these injuries have really slowed me down, in fact, can you imagine how long this is taking me to type with one good hand and one on the mend?
Actually, I am inventing my own one hand typing style, its going very well.
I should also mention how fun it is to explain this to everyone I run into. And I swear I didn't fall off a trampoline...
(thats what the emergency people thought)

Relax

It would seem that I do not know how to relax at all. Seriously, I am on holidays and still waking up stupid early, just like I had to for school, but I don't need to now!
Yesterday I woke up at 6 and had to wait nearly 3 hours for the kids to wake up and today is shaping up to be similar. I was up before 7 and now its 8:30 and no one else in the house is moving.
While this did give me time to check the camera batteries, empty out the car, start the laundry and pack our bag to visit my in-laws today. Now that I am done all that it is just waiting for everyone to wake up.
Then they have to eat and get dressed, I am already done that, then we hit the road, and providing I remember to bring my camera I will have some great pictures of the boys tonight.
The weather is beautiful and it looks like the perfect day to be out in the pool.

Today we wrote out last test, and are now free until September! Here are a few of my class mates, whom I will miss over the summer.  And in case you were wondering - I think the test went great :D 

Giedré and Andres

Andrew, Mille and someone else

Giedre and the sister

Thinh 

I had to scrunch really6 small to not look like a giant next to these two.

These two would not stand together, they should be ashamed.  The boy is called Tino.

The sister, Giedre and Mille

Giedré and me

Thinh, Ewa and Giedré

My group that I worked on group work with, Thinh, Ewa and Giedre :D

I

I survived Malfræði 2

I finished the málfræði test today.
I have been finding these the most scary. Probably thanks to a lack of grammar background in my own language.
But I am sure I passed. Pretty sure that is.
I practiced the old exams so many times that I had actually managed to mesmerize them and while today's test was not exactly the same, there was a few questions that were, so I know I got those right.
Now I am mentally exhausted, drained, my head is killing me, so off to bed I go. I am going to need a good nights sleep because tomorrow is back to the books. Friday is that last one.
Saturday I rest my mind with some cartoons in English.
I should also mention that I am getting a little ansi with my teachers who do not post the marks! I did one test 2 weeks ago tomorrow, and still no mark. How am I supposed to sleep with this kind of anxiousness?

time being destroyed

I dont know how this happened. I abandoned my blog for so long, and even now, 40 hours away from my málfræði final, I feel a stab of guilt for uploading pictures. But really, its after 9, to late to study anymore isnt it?

Leópold, playing 'dog' with our real dogs bowl and food, she is a little jealous

Leópold takes the food away because it was clearly not meant for Rósa, our real dog, whom keeps trying to eat it.

Leópold again, home sick with an ear infection, swears hes not tired but is out cold on the couch 10 minutes later. I should mention that he woke up when he rolled off the couch.

I dont know why they are so cute when they sleep, but here is Kasper, and Leópold. The older boys haveing taken over the responsibility of putting the baby to sleep has freed up a lot of time for me.

Just me and Stefán left, ready for bed, good night!

While I doubt anyone is checking this, and I should be learning right now, its all over facebook so I had to push it more.
