Ice Sculptures

Some weekends ago we went to see Art Meets Ice. Stefan really wanted to see the sculptures of ice. It was cool, but unfortunetly they had not completed anything when we were there, even though they had been working for hours. We would have stayed longer but it was quite freezing that day.

There were teams from all over the world; Kenya, Russia, Mongola, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Finland of course, Estonia and probably more I don't remember right now :-)


People working;

My favorite from the Mongolia team, the iguana;

The ape;


The Shell;

And a lion and a girl?

Dogsitting

We've been dogsitting my collegues dog for a week when they have been on holiday. It's been great but at times also a bit frustrating. It's a bit difficult to dogsit a dog you don't know from before so she tested us a bit at times. In general she was good but she tried to beg for food when we were eating and bit our pillows a bit when she wanted to play. Also she needed lot's of attention otherwise she would start "crying". I think a week also opened our eyes a bit onto what a commitment a dog really is. I still want a dog though...at some point ;-)

The first 15 minutes Kaz bit her new toys to bits;





















but it helped her forget that her family just dropped her off at our place, and she stopped crying.

The rest of the week we've been playing, sleeping, biting and cuddling. And walking, a lot, she had endless energy, a dog is defenitely a good idea if you want to get in shape ;-)







Sunday morning she was allowed in bed....a bit spoilt:-D

Ooops, we fell asleep on the couch.
