Help!

These people are getting crazy! They clean, cook, clean, cook, clean, cook....what a hassle. I didn't realize that adult people act like this. Big sister saved me. We went to gym. I guess that body building is not for mice but it was nice and quiet anyway.

Nice things today: getting out of the house, cat didn't eat me.

Gingerbread house

Wow! We made a gingerbread house today. Little sister wanted to decorate a gingerbread house so much that stepmam promised to make one. It was stepfather who finally built the house, little sister and I decorated it.

Here we start. Some green stuff on the roof.

This is it! Isn't it nice?

Independence Day in Finland

What a cerenomius day! I have found out that these people use to watch a movie called "Unknown soldier" every single year. The movie takes hours. At the same time they cook, watch the movie and every now and then get a bit emotianal.

I'm just a little mouse, I don't know so much about it. Colours are blue and white, food is nice, so - I'm a happy mouse!

Nice things today: independence day party, cat didn't eat me.

Architecture

The most beautiful thing in the world is a nice piece of emmental cheese. Today we are staying in Seinäjoki at grandmothers home. We visited church and town hall, made by architect Alvar Aalto. Those buildings are beautiful too. I would love to have a house that looks like piece of emmental.

 Church

Town hall

It's very nice to stay here because grandmother likes to cook for us. Stepmother and stepfather were shopping christmas presents for older children. You know, Santa Claus brings presents only for those, who believe in him. I wonder if I will get anything from Santa Claus or my stepfamily?

Nice things today: beautiful buildings, lots of tasty food, no cat around at all.

Grandmother

Last night we drove through darkness. Everything was fine and grandmother was very happy to see us all. We didn't take the cat along at all. I was tired when we finally got here. Grandmother and little syster slept side by side and I'm pretty sure they were snoring. That was funny. 

Nice things today: meeting grandmother, sleeping tight, no cat around at all.

Holiday, sorry Santa!

I had a holiday, sorry Santa Claus! My stepmother visited Helsinki (capital of Finland) for a business trip. She asked me to join her and I couldn't resist. But I promise to report more nice things today :). I must say that Helsinki is too big, busy and noisy place for a small mouse like me. City life is exciting, illumination in shopping street is beautiful but still, it was very nice to come back to Loviisa.

Big sister is baking bread today with a bread maker. It smells gooood. I can hardly wait till it's ready!

Nice things today: visiting Helsinki, beautiful christmas decoration in shopping street, coming back home, smelling warm bread, cat didn't eat me

Santa Claudia

Hello everybody! My name is Santa Claudia. I look like an elf but I'm actually a mouse, a christmas mouse. I'm on a mission in Loviisa, Southern Finland. I work for Santa Claus. He sent me here to report all the nice things I see and hear before christmas. Santa Claus collects nice things. Nice things are important, they make reindeers fly and our world better place to live.

I have a stepfamily here in Loviisa town. They live by the sea and they have a dog and a cat. Dog is nice but I'm a bit nervous about the cat. She seems to think that I might taste pretty good.

Today we went to forest to find some twigs for christmas decoration. It's still pretty warm here. No snow or  ice as you can see. I love skating, so I hope coldness comes soon. Afterward we went to a cafe to have cappucino and bun, yammy!

Nice things today: picking up twigs, having cappuccino and bun, cat didn't eat me
