Today we spent a few hours baking Karelian pies for country day tomorrow! Delicious little morsels which are very filling to take to our Finland celebration. The kids were into it and we listened to the Sound of Music as we spread the creamy rice filling onto the paper thin dough rounds, and pinched them up into cute hand-sized pies. The egg butter which is served on top is amazing!
Mari pulled her presentation together on the forests of Finland - she did a poster board with the three primary tree species: birch, spruce and Scots pine. Scots pine is her favorite because it reminds her of Scotty! She drew birch bark, a spruce tree and several pines. She sees the forests for the trees ;).
Kaia has really got the rhythm of his presentations. It's amazing how comfortable he is doing them after only three times! I feel convinced that the public speaking ease will continue into adulthood and will have to be a positive.
They are both so hard-working: play as well as school. I am amazed to be in their company. Such a fortunate woman am I.
