Halloween Hangover..the neverending POST
I was torn, should I call this just Halloween Hangover post... or the post that lasts forever....cause seems like my weekend went on F O R E V E R .... (we had LOTS of things to do this weekend... ) So grab a POT of coffee & relax cause this could take a while....
So the Halloween "get together" went great... the kids DID get to go trick or treating.. (although it is no where near the same as in the US... not really a bad thing after reading all of your candy dilemmas)
My American girlfriends brought over their stash of American Candy... Reese's & candy corn... YUM...(my already huge ass THANKS YOU!)
& we had a great night of playing TABOO..(LOVE this game) & wine.. (LARS is a cheater...anyways...)
All of the cute little American Trick or Treaters...going out to show the Norwegians how it is done.....

We made it through Friday.... with the rest of the weekend LOOMING.... Dane had an all day outing in Oslo on Saturday.... & we had tickets to an ABBA show the same night.... 2 overly tired children... I knew it was going to be a BLAST.....
During my free time i like to play STAGE MOTHER... here is Eva up on stage during the ABBA (TRIBUTE) show.... Unlike her mother,... she was speechless & in utter AWE... very cool experience for her... & she was beaming the rest of the weekend...
As if we hadn't had enough excitement throughout the weekend... the Kids & Bjørn voted to take the boat out one last time before the winter... (I was out voted....)
So I packed a picnic, & we took the boat out to the islands.... (May I remind you that it is NOVEMBER in NORWAY... & I FROZE My tail off...)
Where my darling children decided they would help mommy drop a few pounds while I ran between one hanging off of the cliffs...& the other hanging off of the old lighthouse..... (as hubby sat on his big caboose..taking pictures.....)

I often wish I could go to work to have a break. Childcare costs so much that I'll have to wait until all the children are in school, and then I won't need to go to work to get a break!
I'm jealous you got to see ABBA!!!
Great costumes and I love the pumpkin hangover.
The kids look so cute in their costumes!! My little sister would be very jealous of ABBA!
Too funny about the concert!
It must have been a concert type of weekend. We went to see AC/DC and NO ONE had to be driven home in the middle and let me assure you it was LOUD!
Hope your week is a relaxing one Tressa!
It's also great house cleaning music.
How fun...I want to go see Abba. I have to just be content with stage versions of Mama Mia.
And the kids in their costumes - awesome!
When does the snow hit?
Great pics, thanks for sharing.
And Wow, that was some weekend.
And suddenly craving candy corn...
I'm glad to hear your Halloween get together turned out well.
What an adventure of a weekend you had!
