What a LONG wonderful day!.. 
One of the best 17th of May's ever...
We hopped from one thing to another... from 7:45 this am until 6 pm this evening..
& my butt. is DRAGGING....

As most of y'all know what 17th of May is... I will spare you the information & hop straight to the pictures! :-)







17th of May is always a time of reflection for me...
Amazing to see how big the kiddos & their friends have become.

We had a really fabulous time... 3 parades.. brunch at my in laws..
& then a school party to end the day!

Gratulerer med dagen!

It's my favorite holiday in Norway--so festive and beautiful and unique--I've been urging my husband to take our boys home for 17 Mai one of these years...

Hi!!

You probably get this a lot but we (my Norwegian hubby, baby, and me) are likely moving to Norway next summer and I would love to ask you some questions! We have been following your blog and enjoy reading it!

If it's ok, can I send you an email?

Thanks!

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
