So the meeting/discussion thing about the report (which I finished in time, go me!) was actually a LOT of fun, my teacher is great and it took maybe about half an hour to talk about the report and what needed to be fixed, and then we chatted about random things for an hour. It was great, as one of my favorite things to do is talking.
Then I went to an art museum with my boys. They had some crazy landscape installation thing that was kinda cool, and a "comics festival" which was why we went there in the first place. Both of those things were fun, but in one corner they also had some thing about abuse... there was a video, and recordings of little kids talking about abuse, and a bunch of scary posters... that ended up being where we spent most of the time, and it was the only place where the boys were actually quiet, and read the text next to the pieces.
Anyway - they had so much fun, and when we were leaving the lady in the reception started talking to us about some other exhibition at a different art museum in Reykjavík. It's all about boy culture/boy art (or something like that) and has fire! and fun machines! and weird cars! and gadgets of all kinds! We didn't have the time to go there today, but the boys *really* wanted to go there, so that's what we're doing next week.
The weather was great, and after the museum we decided to go buy some ice cream - and while we were sitting in the sun eating our ice cream, one of my boys went "Mmmm... I love going to art museums"
I swear, these are strange boys. They don't want to play soccer or go swimming or bowling when we meet - they want to bake cookies and cakes and go to art museums. Although, we do a whole lot of reading comics and playing cops and robbers and building things with LEGOs, too.
The weather is GREAT and I hope it stays like this until summer. Yaysun, I've missed you! :D
