Am I ready for this?

-
OK, first off... HI...I've missed y'all!
What a week.... I feel like I have been working 24/7... it has been a hectic few days at work... then with the kids... & the house... heck, I don't need to tell y'all... I am sure you know how it is...

So for the big news... in our house anyway... my BABY BOY came home tonight & announced he HAS A GIRLFRIEND...? he's 9....

he was sooo stinken cute when I picked him up from Scouts tonight... (the boys & girls do Scouts together) he was so excited to tell me all about her.... Awww, how cute... love it...

then he told me that she wanted him to kiss her.... (not so much loving it.... am I an old fart or what?)

He already wanted to know if he could invite her to his birthday party... (in May...) I suggested we wait a little closer to May to see how it was going with the two of them....
"But mom, shes the ONE... " I have a little drama king on my hands.... (it is my payback for all of the drama I had during my teen days...)

it is so exciting to watch your little ones grow up... but kissing & breaking up & crushes... I don't think I am ready for this....

Promise a better/longer post tomorrow... cause I am OFF! Yippee...

Brace yourself! My son was asked out on 3 dates last year! Talk about a heart attack. He was 10. Crushes are one thing but Dates?

All I can say is enjoy the cute stage while it lasts! 'Cause your daughter (& mine) are next !! ha,ha,he,he!

So cute about being "the one"! My oldest got a ring (plastic) from a boy when she was 4! She still talks about it. Young love :)

OMG - my heart just skipped a beat.

Think of it as a compliment - he sees how happy his parents are and thinks married life is bliss.

"The one" - oh, my heart!

We obviously start a lot earlier here in Sweden - both kids have had little ones chasing them and kissing them from about age 3!!

I remember when I was about 7 or 8 and Darlene kissed me unexpectedly. I was not real happy about that. I was certain she had cooties.

You're lucky he tells you. None of my 3 boys ever told me they had a crush on a girl. They just did and kept it to themselves.

Hey you... hungry butt!

Hey you, Hungry butt!!!! .... First thought that played through my mind as I stood behind the woman in the GREY SWEATPANTS in line at the post office..... Hungry Butt is what my little sister & her friends say when referring to what in my day, was called a WEDGIE ..... "Hungry Butt" just fit the large bottom , which was gobbling its underwear in front of me.... Ugh.... the sight of her butt was burning into my mind as I waited in the ridiculously SLOW line at the post office.... No longer able to stand the site... I put my boxes down... and did the neighborly thing.... I pulled her underwear out of her butt.... You should have seen the SHOCK & SURPRISE on her face ... Ummm , OK I didn't do that... I tapped her on her shoulder & in my best AMERICAN accent announced to her & the rest of the post office... that she had the picture perfect HUNGRY BUTT... cause it was gobbling everything in sight... K... I didn't do that either... I just stood

A visit to the ICE AGE....

Sunday... FUN-DAY, Another family day..... Because we had such nice weather, (never knowing how long it will last) we decided to take another family hike.... (2.5 hours....) around the be ach. It is funny, each week, each hike, I see changes in our family....less whining (on my part) & more time learning, enjoying our time together....Bjørn who usually gets irritated with all of my picture taking, is stopping to find things to take pictures of...appreciating colors, nature etc. Dane is less squeamish...touching & picking up all of sorts of things he finds along the hike.... Today we learned about Jettegryter or "Stone Pots" these huge rock formations from the ICE AGE .... pretty cool... these holes are formed by pebbles/gravel being aggitated by water, over thousand of years.... WOW..The holes on our local beach date back to 15,000 years.... the kids had a blast.... & wanted to stay much long
