65 Degrees North

Halloween came and went but I made sure the traditional pumpkin carving lived on. Sanna thought it was a silly idea and pumpkins were super gross inside. Here is the gut pull.

I finally got her to start carving and then something crazy happend...she liked it! Now she is hooked and wants to do it more.

Here is her side of our pumpkin

And my side

The weather has been getting colder. Here is one of the frozen lakes near our apartment.

There has been lots of snow and I LOVE IT! This is the view from the bedroom window.

And the view from our kitchen window

This is my pimp ride. I found it in a thorny bush and fixed it up. Notice the pimp white wall back tire. (Don't notice the yellow wall front tire)

I went for another walk around the frozen lake near our place. This time after some fresh snow. Here is a snow covered boat on the edge of the lake.

And some plants on the shore

What time do you think those pictures were taken at? 1 in the afternoon! The sun rises now at 10am and sets by 2:20. It never gets very high so it always feels like sunrise or sunset.

I have said this before but Finnish people LOVE candy!

And they love saunas. Check out this sweet sauna hat I found that comes with a free monster spoon.

Sanna likes piggyback rides
