H is for Helsinki (and hat!)

Today Tim went to Helsinki to read at the library. Sounds ridiculous but it's true.
Actually the books he needed to use are all reference ones that couldn't be taken out - so he hopped on the 7:30 train this morning and I had the dogs and baby all day.

I took V�in� in his pram with Loki attached downtown. Our first stop was at Kimperi, a locally owned shop that has lots of brightly colored clothes (many retro-inspired patterns too). One thing I wanted to get for V�in� was a sack hat. I don't know what the proper name of them are but it looks like a little sack on top of his head. Like a square hat! The corners stick out and look adorable on any kid. They sell the winter version (thicker and some kind of terry cloth or fleece material?) and a thinner spring version which is made of cotton (so it feels like a double layered t-shirt).
So I found V�in� a chocolate brown spring hat with orange dots on it :). Very cute.
Then we went to the pet shop to get some bones for the dogs and a bottle of flea/tick shampoo. It's starting to get warmer - so I figure I better lather them up now!

I didn't make it to the pharmacy today - wanted to fill a prescription and get some flea medication too - ah well.

Tomorrow I'm going on an adventure to a huge garden center of sorts. It involves a bus - however I won't be on my own - don't worry.
Will take a lot of pictures and post about it tomorrow when I can :).
