Meadow
After I picked up Oskar from the school bus today, he dragged me once more to the construction site to look at the action. Unfortunately there wasn’t much to see today because the truck that picked up...

Oskar’s school had sort of screwed up the Mother’s Day communication in May and Lamia was only informed 2 days ahead of the event. For Father’s Day they clearly tried to avoid making the same mistake...
