Pitka odotus / Long wait

Tytot ovat olleet kylla todella karsivallisia mutta talla viikolla on karsivallisyys ollut koetuksella. 

Our girls have been super patient but this week their patience has been on a trial. 

Meille tehtiin takapihalle leikkialue, jossa on jo pikkuruinen hiekkalaatikko. 

A play area was made in the back yard and it has a tiny sand box.

Hiekkalaatikon lisaksi talle leikkialueelle on tulossa keinut, liukumaki ja pikkuruinen leikkimokintapainen. (Setti on viela laatikoissa ja pressun alla yllaolevassa kuvassa.)

In addition to the sand box this play area will have a swing set with a slide, swings, and a tiny playhouse type of "cabin". (The set is still in boxes and under a tarp which you can see in the above picture.)

Se piti pystyttaa maanantaina mutta pystyttajat eivat saapuneetkaan paikalle. Kommunikaatiokatkos.

It was supposed to be set up on Monday but they people didn't show up. Kommunication breakdown.

Tiistaina satoi kaatamalla.

Tuesday it rained cats and dogs.

Keskiviikona miesten auto oli hajonnut matkalla.

Wednesday their truck had broken down on their way.

Torstaina heilla oli muita hommia.

Thursday they had other jobs to be done.

He lupasivat etta perjantaina se kasataan.

They promised that it would be put together on Friday.

Nyt on perjantai aamu. Toivottavasti iltapaivalla minulla on kaksi iloista lasta. (On tassa kuulkaa ollut selittamista kun koululainen tulee iltapaivisin koulusta ja ensimmainen kysymys bussista tultuaan on "Joko se on pystyssa?" ja olen joutunut joka paivana vastaamaan kielteisesti. Pettymyksia kyyneliin asti.)

Nama kuvat on otettu torstaina.

Now it's Friday morning. I hope I will have two happy girls in the afternoon. (It's been a hard job explaining to my school girl whose first words after getting out of school bus is "Is it up yet?" and every time I've been forced to say no. Disappointments to tears.)

These pictures were taken on Thursday.
