Don't worry ... Dane was in on it... so he will not be scarred F O R E V E R.


Pulled out the Christmas decorations today... I asked Bjørn if he wanted us to wait until he returned from Dubai... he assured me to GO AHEAD without him... THANKS honey!


You know you are an expat celebrating the holidays abroad... when your 10 year old can
BLOW UP the Christmas tree by having the converter on the wrong setting...

It didn't catch on fire, but it did blow all of the attached lights... (that's what I get for being a lazy mother who was hoping we could just pop the tree up...CRAP)

We can still use the fake tree...but I have to go & buy Norwegian lights to put on it... next year, we are going back to doing the real thing....

I will try to finish up the trip to Argentina...but y'all know how I am. I get half way through the holiday & quit. (I am really am going to try to get the pictures of Buenos Aires up... what an AMAZING city..)

But we have Judo testing...Dane is going for his belt... Christmas baking... house cleaning... unpacking... sigh... I know y'all feel my pain.

OK... seriously, check out the Santa video it is SOO cute!

Oh, we've blown up more than just Christmas trees by plugging things straight into the walls. We just bought a new tree, with lights attached, but the plug was so crazy that I eventually spent 2 hours cutting all of the wires off the tree. Such a pain. BTW, I don't think I've told you, but I really like your new layout.

I don't know how you do all of it. You are like non stop busy! Judo testing... WOW! : ) Good luck with the tree. I haven't even thought about ours yet. I am seriously the WORST mother in America! (And Norway!)

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
