Guess who's coming to town?

WOW...the surprise that went around the world today.
never mind politics, I am just excited that the President of the United States is coming to Oslo...
I am excited for my children..
kinda like both of their worlds are meeting for the rest of the world to see & have already decided to take them down to Oslo for the big day...
Are you wondering WHY the Nobel Peace prize is handed out in Oslo & not in Stockholm with the rest of the prizes?
The reason why Norway distributes a part of the prize is that at the time of Alfred Nobel's death, Norway and Sweden were joined together in a personal union known as the Swedish-Norwegian Union.[3][4]
(ya, I totally had to look that up, but at least I am learning something everyday...)
Gonna leave you with my Favorite Norwegian band at the moment... (they have some pretty good music over here...)- wondering if DONKEYBOY has made it over to the states?
Enjoy...have a great weekend!

I'm so thrilled that he won! What a surprise! Going to be a madhouse in Oslo I bet though, when he comes to town.

When will he arrive for the prize? It'd be way cool if its while we're there. Yet another reason to be bitter that Hubby is cheap and won't spend twice his paycheque to get us a condo in Aker Bryyge. LOL

LOL, Typ0. Maybe you can talk him into shovin you onto a plane for the celebration?

I say we have a Nobel Party. The ceremony is December 10th, which is a Thursday, but surely we can all work something out? Sure that Aker Brygge is going to be a madhouse on the day. I've got weekends off....

I just watched that video at home with speakers. I often read this at work but I try to avoid watching a lot of video while I should be working.. I looked up the lyrics http://www.onlylyrics.com/hits.php?grid=1&id=1032919 and just watched it over and over. OK, there is alcohol involved. But I love these guys.

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...
