Project Olaf: Olaf's Adventures

Let's continue Olaf's adventure today before I have to let him go tomorrow. For those of you who don't know what it's all about, you can go here:



Here's my first post on Olaf: Olaf's Here!

Yesterday evening I took Olaf to sauna 'coz going to sauna is such an important tradition in Finland. Olaf thinks sauna is a cool invention, especially considering how long the winter is up here.


Then I let him try our new relaxing sofa while watching R2 play Wii World of Goo. It's a puzzle game, so it's safe for Olaf to watch.


Olaf got more and more comfortable and he got rather sleepy, so I let him sleep there. :-D


This morning when Olaf woke up, the sun was shining brightly and he wanted to know the temperature. Only -5'C and it's much warmer under the sun. Hmmm...what shall we do today? Olaf asked me.


He ran upstairs 'coz he wanted a grand tour of the house.


Here's what Olaf saw from upstairs he he he...


After showing him the bedrooms, he was curious to see this small(ish) door, so I had to show him what it was.


Whoops...there's another door there! :-D


Ta-daaaa...it's a cool storage room. :-D Most of the stuff here belongs to the ex-home owners, which will get them later in summer. :-D This storage room is pretty handy. :-D


Today Olaf also met a Finnish doll and they had quite an interesting chat about different topics. :-D


They became fast friends and they wanted me to take a pic of them. :-D

"I'll never forget you," the doll said to Olaf. Olaf replied, "Me, neither!"


Then I took Olaf out to take him sliding on a snowy "hill". Olaf was a bit scared at first, but he was also excited!!!!


WHOOOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! That was exciting!!! :-D


After sliding down the snowy hill over and over again, Olaf helped me clean up the snow from the yard. Today there wasn't too much snow, but yesterday it snowed the whole day that there was at least 10-15 cm of snow on the ground by the time I went out to clean it.


What an interesting day! Now Olaf is resting for a while to prepare himself for another adventure when he arrives at Henny's place. So long, Olaf...it's been nice hosting you and it's hard letting you go 'coz he's such a WONDERFUL bear, but Daniella needs you more than we do! So have a safe trip around the world until you reach Daniella, Olaf!!!!

Project Olaf: Olaf Is Here!

Went to get Olaf from the PO yesterday. For those of you who don't know what it's all about, you can go here:



The only correction I'd make about the post above is that Olaf will go to Daniella in USA. She's a one-year-old girl suffering from Nuetropenia. Click on the link to read more about that disorder.

For those of you who pray, please also help pray for Daniella. Here are some pics I've taken with Olaf, taking him for a little adventure he he...I'm gonna take more pics with Olaf before I send him on his way on Monday. :-D

First pic: Olaf was a bit shy at first 'coz he was confused where he was. He was peeping out of his box when he first arrived.


2nd pic: I introduced myself and lured him out of his shyness he he he...


3rd pic: He was such a warm bear that he let me hold him right away! HA HA HA...


4th pic: Look what we have here, Olaf! A little souvenir for you from Finland! :-D


5th pic: Olaf perched on top of a CD tower with his new souvenir from Finland. :-D


6th pic: Taken this morning. Olaf was amazed that it was snowing outside and he couldn't believe his eyes to see so much snow still on the ground. Good thing he had his sweater on, so he wasn't cold. I only let him sit there for a little while 'coz I didn't want him to freeze. :-D


7th pic: R2 got his birthday presents today and the wire puzzle was one of them. He was showing Olaf how to untangle it. He managed to solve the puzzle in just a few minutes. UGH!!! It was WAY too easy for him he he...


OK, now I'm going to enjoy R2's birthday by spending time with him...I'll blog-hop perhaps tomorrow or later tonight. Enjoy your weekend, people!!!

P.S. dNeero is live and about again! YAAAYYY!!!
