Call me MARTHA, Miss Stewart if your N. A. S. T. Y
(sorry... I have always wanted to say that...)




OK so I'm not one to toot my own horn but TOOT TOOT... party was a success... kids had a blast... Dane was all smiles & GUESS who was the FIRST guest to arrive... Mmmm hmmmm.
So about 2 am this morning I came up with the bright idea of doing a GUITAR CAKE












So here is the cake... Have to say I am a little proud.. as I was trying to figure this out...(an hour before the guests were arriving... I had visions of it ending up on CAKE WRECKS... but I think it turned out pretty darn good..

The kids were ADORABLE... I kept thinking they were too big to play organized games... Nooooo... they had a blast... we played musical chairs, LIMBO... a dance contest..(girls idea-& the boys went along with it---WOW...) I need to do a post on all of the things Mormor sent from America... Thanks mom...
Think it is going to have to wait until tomorrow... I am P O O P E D!

I can't believe that cake was a last minute idea. You should be a party planner. Or wait. You just might freak out a bunch of Norwegians :-)

Awesome! These pics remind me of that Sid Vicious pic you took of Ali when she was 5!! Too fun; the kids are beaming!!!

The cake looks fabulous! I can't believe you started that at 2 am - C.R.A.Z.Y.!!!

You're right, you function so well at the last minute....me? I'm a screaming banshee by that time!!!

Pooped, for sure. But what a great cake! Reminds me of when I made a rabbit cake for Easter. Amazed myself. Yours looks better than mine turned out. Rest tomorrow.

The guitar cake is awesome! The first thing I thought when I saw it was...... oh no, it's too good, she can't make it on Cake Wrecks. HA.

I'm glad everything went so well. You said that Norwegians traditionally don't do theme parties. I bet you're going to start a new trend. They're gonna be scrambling to keep up with the American!

Love you Tressa.

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
