Eurovision, 17th Mai, Birthdays & sick kids....
Whew...What a weekend/week.
We started celebrating NORWAY took FIRST in the Eurovision !! Yea...makes me proud to be an ALMOST Norwegian... This means the contest will be coming to Norway next year...(Dane has already asked for tickets for his birthday next year...lets hope it comes to Oslo...)
Sunday we had a FULL day of 17th of may FUN FUN FUN...
This was the NICEST weather I have experienced on a 17th of May... & YES the American went bare legged & in sandals... it was SCANDALOUS (at least for my MIL)
No post would be complete without my throwing my kids faces all over the post...
Here are some of
theBEAUTIFUL traditional outfits... To answer s
ome of your questions from my last post about the dresses....
-They are expensive because they are hand made & because of all of the silver on the dresses...
-I do not have one (although I kinda wish I did) ... because I'm not Norwegian ... you can tell where everyone comes from by their dress... I would feel silly wearing an Østfold dress because obviously I'm not from here... There were many foreigners wearing their traditional dresses... I saw many KILTS.. dresses from Germany, Ukraine... Hmmm what could I wear to be "American"
If the dresses weren't so CRAZY expensive I would have one made with things like Texas Longhorn, Statue of Liberty, bald eagle... (but I will have to wait until we win the lottery to do that...)
Eva has been sick since Sunday... Looks like she is feeling better... my MIL was pretty sure it was the swine flu or some deadly brain eating tick disease.... Thanks MIL!
Tomorrow is baby boys 10th B-day! How can I be the mother of a 10 year old? & where did all of the years go?
Baby boy has started his own BLOG... So I am hoping y'all will stop by & wish him a Hap
py B.day.. he gets SOOOO excited when he sees a new country show up on his counter..
Why would any mother let her 10 year old start a blog?
I know y'all are wondering... It is so he can practice writing English & keep my family in the states updated... I will post the link tomorrow...
Now I am off to get things ready for Danes big day tomorow...

The traditional dress is beautiful. I don't think that there is anything traditional about American dress since we are a bunch of mutts :-) Unless you go "old-school" and wear something colonial.
Very cool that Dane has a blog. I'll have to get my 11 year old to go by and say hello. She has her own blog, too!
Happy early birthday Dane!! :)
Anyway, hope your daughter gets better and happy b-day for your son. oh about the blog thing, my lil' 11yrs old bro' has a blog too.. i changed his blog settings tough so he can be protected and he can only communicate with his friends in the list i put up there..plus i time to time check on him.. so it's okay i guess.. i just updated his layout the other day..so whohoo for the blog kid:))
And Eurovision??? Ooo seemed like nobody wanted to win actually ..cause in this economy who would want to organize such an expensive show next year right?? well seems like the cat is in your backyard guys:)

I think for a dress for Tx you should do a really puffy square dancing dress. Gotta be less than the Norwegian one, yes? Besides what screams Tx more than a short, full dress? lmbo!!
Way to be American & show up barelegged & in sandals. You do us proud!
your kids are beautiful too :)
They all look so old world..
