all that food!!! + fun times with our guests :)

I have been coughing for 2 weeks now and therefor I have been so tired and weak. Last work week was actually very nice and quite calm. On Monday I managed to go to Finnish class after work and on Thursday I went to the movies with Jay to watch "The Hunger Games: Mocking Jay - Part 1". It was so good and I cannot wait to see part 2 next year! 

It started snowing on Friday and it made me sooo happy :) At work kids even were sliding in the park :) Oh, I love snow! It gives me such a good mood. I think the snow came down just at the right time..I am so ready for Christmas season!!!

My mom and her bf came to visit us yesterday. They arrived around 4pm, so we had late lunch and went to the shops for a while. After that we were just at my place, chatting and catching up, had dinner ect. Jay had to go to work today morning so we let mom's bf sleep long. Me and mom had breakfast together and just talked about life. It was nice :) Later when Maarek woke up and had his morning coffee we all went to the shops again :) I had few things I needed, so did they. I think we all got what we went looking for. I got a new rug for our bathroom, birthday gift for my nephew, soft and comfy pj pants (which I am use as home-pants :D), some Christmas stickers for work, Christmas-y table runner, pillow cases, outdoor Christmas ornament... I think that's it. I also bought food and such. 

Like always mom asked what we wanted from Estonia.. so I gave her a small list that mostly included food. The most I was excited about my fav Christmas dessert: gingerbread kohuke (curd snack). It's seasonal and so you can only buy it from November till January. I am going to keep them in the freezer so I can have one whenever I want :D She also bought blood sausage that I wanted because it's my fav Christmas food :D We are going to have it for dinner tomorrow, among with sauerkraut and mashed potatoes..oh I cannot wait :)

I also bought my fav Creme Brulee that Lidl always has at Christmas time. We had it for dessert tonight. So delicious!!! And to end all of this food talk, I made my very first gingerbread cookie dough today! I got mom's recipe so I am sure I will have the best gingerbread cookies ever! I am going to bake the cookies next weekend :)
Mom also bought some of my old puzzles (I will take these to the kindergarten) and old pictures, letters ect that I had made/written. The oldest one was a painting I made when I was 1 years and 9 months old :) I am so glad she had kept them all! I had tons of fun going through them yesterday!!! I am definitely going to keep them safe and treasure them :)

The best curd snack in a world:D I love Christmas time!!!

simple day - just the way I like :)

Eile õhtul kirjutasin paberile üles mõned asjad, mida kindlasti täna tegema pean (nt kardinad vahetada, rõdu aknad pesta). Kui päev pihta hakkas, siis hakkasin tegutsema. Kuid tuli välja, et tegin asju, mida nimekirjas polnudki. Kuna me käisime Johannesega poes, siis ostsime sealt puiduõli ja hästi peenikest liivapaberit. Hiljuti ostsime endale elutuppa telekaaluse ja diivanilaua. Mõlemaid olid sellises olekus, et neid on vaja peenikese liivapaberiga natuke siledamaks lihvida ja ära õlitada. Niisiis mina võtsingi selle töö täna ette, kui Johannes ära tööle läks. Ma olengi üldiselt selline inimene, kellele meeldib võimalikult palju kodus ära teha... kõike ei pea ju mees tegema. Meie korteris olen ma värvinud köögi seinu, kõik köögi kapid, vannitoa seinad ja esikus olevad kapid ning uksepiidad. Suured värvimised teistest tubades jätsin Johannesele. Mulle tundub, et kui ma võimalikult palju aitan, siis saab kõik ka kiiremini valmis :) Olen selle kodus nokitsemise emalt saanud..tema teeb ka kodus kõike ise! Nagu öeldud, siis ausingi agaralt lihvima ja õlitama. Tööd tehes läks aeg nii kiiresti. Lõpuks oligi juba kell pool kuus. Siis mõtlesin, et hakkan õhtusööki tegema. Tegin piima-riisisuppi. Esimest korda tegin ja nii hea tuli välja! Kõrvale sõin tuunikala võileiba :)

//Last night I wrote down some things I definitely wanted to get done today. I am this type of person who likes to give a hand at home as much as possible.. I do works that I can handle and things get done quicker if I help Jay :) Besides oiling our new table, I also made dinner that's pretty common for Estonians - milk&rice soup. It came out so delicious! It's very good with tunafish on dark bread!//

Vahepeal käisin veel poes ja ostsin diivanilauale uue liniku ja kaks küünlaklaasi ning aluse, mille peale küünlad panna, et see lauale kuumast jälge ei jäta. Praegu küünlad põlevadki ning nii sügisene tunne on. Varsti ju algabki sügis!

//In the mean time I went to the shop to buy a new linen for our sofa table, two candle glasses and a plate where to place the candles. The candles are burning right now and it totally feels like autumn! //

Eile tegin õhtusöögiks kapsa-hakkliha rulle, mis tulid ka nii head välja. Neid tegin nii palju, et jätkus ka tegelikult tänakseks...aga piima-riisisupi tegin siiski :) :D Saame ka homme lõunal süüa!

//Here's a photo of yesterdays dinner - cabbage rolls with minced meat and rice, sided with potatoes and tomato-cucumber salad. I made it quite much so we still have some leftovers. We can eat it tonight or tomorrow. //

Nagu paberile kirja sai, pesin ka rõdu aknad puhtaks ning vahetasin magamistoas kardinad ära. Kuna me ostsime endale pimendava ruloo, siis pole enam paksusi kardinaid vaja, panin õhukesed ette :) Siis vahetasin ka voodipesu. Ka vannitoa puhastasin ära. Mõnus tunne kohe, kui olen kodus natuke tegutseda saanud. Nüüd on aeg juua üks hilisõhtune tee ning oodata meest koju! Homme on ilmselt üks laisk päev jälle...vaja natuke soome keelt õppida ning ehk saan niisama teleka ees lösutada :P

//Like I wrote down to my list, I did quite much today. I changed the curtains, cleaned the balcony windows, cleaned the toilet and bathroom. It feels good if I have done something useful at home!  am going to enjoy late night tea and wait for Jay to come home from work. I'm sure tomorrow will be more like a lazy day! //

long day, but fun :)

Oh, kui väsinud ma olen. Jalad valutavad, aga õnneks saan diivanil lösutada ja järjekordset Remontoijate osa vaadata :)

Täna ärkasin kl 8.00, tegin joogat ja siis läksin rongiga Helsingisse. Sain seal enda ema ja ta töökaaslastega kokku. Nendega koos külastasin üht Helsingi lasteaeda. Sealne lasteaia juhataja rääkis meile Soome lasteaedae süsteemist ja oma konkreetsest lasteaiast. Väga huvitav oli kuulata ja seda kõike Eesti lasteaedade  õppesüsteemiga võrrelda. Kirjutan kindlasti millalgi pikemalt, mis mõtteid ja muljeid kuuldu minus tekitas ;)

//Oh, I am sooo tired. My feet hurt, but fortunately I can lay on the sofa and watch another episode of Australian Renovaters. 
I woke up 8am today, did joga and went to Helsinki by train. I met my mom and her workmates there. We visited a kindergarten in Helsinki. The kindergarten's principle told us about the systems of Finnish kindergartens and also about their kindergarten. It was all very interesting and also very different from what we have in Estonia. I'll definitely write longer about it some other time (when I am not so tired :P)//

Pärast lasteaia külastust käisime natuke niisama Helsingi peal ringi, tegin ka mõningaid pilte. Sealt edasi läksime sööma ja šoppama. Mina otsisin kingi, aga neid ma ei leidnudki. Lõpuks kui kõik poed olid läbi käidud, läksin tagasi rongile, et koju sõita. Isa oli oma oma võtmed tuppa unustanud ja ise välja läinud - jäi luku taha. Kuna minul on ka tema korteri võti, siis pidingi koju tagasi tulema, et isale võti anda.

Käisin ka CityMarketist läbi, kuna eile saime postiga mõned kupongid, mille viimane kasutamise kuupäev oli täna. Niisiis sain tasuta ühed küpsised ning veel 5 euro eest mida iganes :P Päris mõnna :)

//After visiting the kindergarten I we walked around Helsinki, took some photos, went to have lunch and then did some shopping. I was looking for shoes, but I didn't find the ones I wanted. So, finally I took a train back to Hyvinkää. My dad locked him out so I had to give him his apartment key so he can get home. 
I also went to the CityMarket because I had some coupongs that were expiring today. So, I got free box of cookies and also free stuff in 5 euro value :) Pretty cool!//

Kodus ootas mind ees mu kullakallis mees :) Rääkisime juttu ja ma tegin talle õhtusööki. Ise sõin Helsinkis ühes Hiina söögikohas, kus maksin 8.90 eurot ja võisin nii palju süüa, kui aga jaksasin :P Ega ma nüüd väga palju ka ei söönud, aga kodus tahtsin midagi kergemat...puuviljasalatit :D njämmmaa!

Pärast vaatasime Johannesega Grown Ups 2. Nii naljakas film! Kusjuures, kui me koos päris esimest korda kinos käisime, siis vaatasime Grown Ups esimest osa. See oli 21.august 2010. Uskumatu, kui kiiresti aeg lendab :P

//Jay was waiting me at home. We talked and I made him dinner. I had quite heavy lunch in Helsinki in Chinese foodplace where there was a buffet in 8.90 euros. So, I got to eat as much as I wanted! This means I didn't want any heavy dinner anymore, instead I had my fav delicious foodsalad! 
Then Jay and I watched Grown Ups 2. It's such a funny movie! I remember that the very first time when Jay and I went to the movies together we watched Grown Ups (first movie). It was on 21st August 2010. Time flies!//

Nüüd on Johannes juba teel tööle ning mina puhkan enda välja. Tänane päev oli kuidagi pikk, aga tegus ja tore :)

//Jay is on his way to work and I am just relaxing. It was a long, but fun day today!!!:)//
