Pippi and Eeyore

Last week Helena dressed up as her favourite book character since the school had it's annual book fair. She loved being Pippi Langstocking for the day.

Lois wasn't to be outdone so she dressed up as Eeyore for the day. We visited the Blanksby's and Noah and Mac really liked her outfit.

Just as well we bought those long bright socks when we were in Klaksvík!

Hairst in Faroe

In the October holidays we spent two weeks in Faroe.

We met our lovely cousin Durita for the first time. She is 18 months and we had lots of fun playing with her and staying at her house.

Just before we arrived Omma had her 60th birthday. However she delayed the party till we arrived so we got to share the cake!

We met Grímur and Beinta's friends John, Marian, Tróndur and Olgar when we were up. We had great fun swimming at the pool in Klaksvík and looking for crabs in da ebb. Helena and Olgar were great friends.

We also had a lovely picnic under the big stone in the plantation in Kunoy. It was 6pm in October but the temp was about 16 degrees!

One of the highlights of the holiday for Helena was going to Lort i Byin - a singing and dancing show. Mammy even got her own share of the fame! We then saw Meyla and friends again in SMS and got their autographs. Meyla lives next door to some of Babba's cousins so Helena even wrote a letter to her and put it in her postbox.

We had the "pleasure" of watching Faroe play France in the Euro 2008 qualifiers. 6-0 to the visitors! Never mind - got to see Thierry Henry play!

Rainbow Girl

In October Helena went to her promise party and became a fully fledged Rainbow. She loves going every Wednesday afternoon where they play games, do crafts and have lots of fun.

Omma and fastir visited in September before Fastir set off on her "Round the World" jaunt. Thankfully being a jet-setting super-cool girl doesn't mean she's too proud to knit!
