RTT Random Tuesday Thoughts... YEA!

Time for Random Tuesday thought with Un Mom




Ya, I am posting this because I really want my children to have a reason to hate me one day.


I originally thought about posting this so you could hear the Nor-English spoken in the home... after watching it again, I realized Eva is speaking pretty much only Norwegian, Dane is speaking English & I sound like a winded cow trying to get up the hill....


( I know... nice visual)


Just to translate for Eva... she keep says "Because...I am POPULAR"... taken off of an episode of Hannah Montana B E F O R E we figured out how to switch the Disney channel to English ONLY... (pretty cool how our TV can set the languages eh?)


this was last year...Eva is speaking pretty much English only with me now... although we usually switch back & forth several time in a conversation.


Dane, well he doesn't talk to me at all anymore... I JOKE...but will no longer allow me to video tape him for fear that it will end up on youtube. HA.


Hope y'all have an awesome Tuesday.

You know I wish my son were old enough to pick up some German out here but he seems to have enough trouble with English!

Hahahahaha..cute! =) Norwegian sounds a little bit like Faroese. Did you know that the first Faroese settlers were seasick Norwegian vikings on their way to Iceland? =D

OH MY GOSH that was hilarious. I seriously laughed out loud. A few different times. Your daughter is adorable, man I miss kids! ;) She is going to love and hate you for that video later!

Jeg er også impornert med norsken din! Og litt lettet faktisk! Det er så bra å se at du har lært deg så godt! Good for you!

Too cute. I love doing videos of the kids and then playing them back for them. They are still young enough to enjoy it.

they say children who can speak two languages are very well rounded and inteligent

I guess there are times when I wish I knew a second language. I tend to pick up accents very easily and would probably blend right in.

Thank you for your randomness,

Eva is adorable! I was laughing so hard in a good way of course. I could just see my Princess doing that too.

You do NOT sound like a winded cow, a cold mom perhaps but not a cow. So there!

Ah yes, someday my kids will too forbid me to video tape them! So I try to get it all in while they are young and have no idea what YouTube is! :)

Loved listening to Eva's voice. She has the cutest little voice.

....and not a winded cow. I think most people sound that way when the cold sucks the air out their lungs.

I just watched that with the sound off since I have coworkers around me. All I can think about is how freaking cold it looks!

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...
