Luau in Norway... Eva's 6th Birthday...

-
Party went off without a hitch today....
I think the LUAU theme was a big hit... at least the Norwegians can not say we are not original in our themes :-)





Managed to throw together a FLIP FLOP cake at the last min.... I was pretty pleased with the end results.... NEXT year however... I am going to be a bit more organized & start planning ahead of time... hee hee.. (I say that every year)


We had ice cream sundaes & I really enjoyed getting to know all of Eva's new classmates... what a lovely bunch of girls.




























I am PRETTY SURE I FINALLY have some DOWN TIME... S.I.G.H.......

Wish I could end this post with something witty... but at this point... 4 hours of sleep, having had 15 kids over & a husband out of town... well my brain is pretty much MUSH....
Night all....

Awesome theme party! I'll have to see if I can convince my daughter to go for that one next year...I've juuuust about managed to convince her to NOT have another princess party this year, and instead do a Hello Kitty party (not original, I know, but she's only turning 4...there's only so many themes she'll agree to! ;D)

Your cake is AWESOME, and it sure looks like your Eva and her friends had a wonderful time!

I think this was a FABULOUS idea! Think of all the great experiences that Eva's friends get to experience because they have a friend with an American mommy!! :-)

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
