Back to normal routine and dealing with sleep deprivation (again)

Hey everyone! Wow, it's been a while since I wrote last time. No, I didn't have a huge new years party ;) Instead, I've just been so busy with my little ones. My older son had a 2 week xmas break from his day care center and boy - it is work to entertain a toddler, especially if he's used to having different activities every day :) No, going to the park isn't enough and to be honest, we didn't get out of the house for few days because of those few horrible cold days. I mean, -20 degrees outside..not fun at all. Anyway, we did it and now my toddler is back at day care - half day until march and this works just fine.

How about that for an 'adventure'? :) What I didn't know is that this place, a shopping mall which is in Tapiola  in Espoo, has a really huge and fun play area/ room for little kids . I mean, by huge I mean huge: my toddler really needs space so he can run around and play so this was perfect. He's not really that much into playing outdoors cause it's always cold and wet here in Finland (just like me!) so this works! I mean, it's a heaven for adult...
