afmaelið hjá Kelsey

Ju, ju,  tvær vika!  Yes, in only two weeks Kelsey will be five!  We are having a countdown to the birthday, to the party, to when she starts grunnskola (kindergarten).  I think the only thing she is not counting down to is summer vacation, as it means her last days at her leikskola.

I am even quite sad about the impending end to her playschool days.  Despite the fact that it is a playschool and there is no formal curricula, Little Miss Independent has flourished in so many ways.  The baby who was barely 3 when we arrived is now completely bilingual and amazingly with it.  She helps me get ready in the mornings!

So, in order to properly celebrate with 20 plus extremely active börn, we are going to none other than Adventureland!  While I love Adventureland, I am not extraordinarily fond of their invitations.  A certain crafty person heard of this situation and offered up her first international commission for homemade cards. 

You can see the above invite and other masterpieces by Shannon at Crafty Dog Blog, a subsidiary of 3 Salty Dogs.  Many, many thanks to Shannon and we hope to see the results in person in 3-5 days. 3 -5 days, you ask?  We finally decided to test Global Priority Mail since pouch completely stymies and confuses us in how some mail can arrive in such a timely fashion and other pieces seem like they were stopped in a time warp. Given the security risk  of having mail delivered at home is, uh, tiny at best, we thought it was worth a shot.
