Playing Hooky....

-

I was off today...sun was out & I was feeling GOOOD...

so I decided to keep Eva home & play hooky.

We packed a picnic lunch/thermos of cocoa & headed to a little chain of islands not far from our home.













Today was one of those
REALLY
GOOD DAYS...
Thank you baby girl!

OH, what a wonderful day! Life's moments, for sure. She'll remember it forever.

Love that second shot, with the sunglasses; she looks so 'movie star'. And that last one...are you kidding me?!...so. hilarious. How is that even physically possible?? ;D

The first picture of your daughter is precious! I bet she will come to love it when she gets older. Speaking of when she gets older, what a lucky gal that she has you to take pictures of her!! :D

My mom used to let us play hookey once a semester. She called it a brain break.

I really love winter picnics. Something fun I learned in Norway, we didn't do winter picnics in New York, no way! Looks like a great day!

These photos are beautiful -- and I am curious about the chain of islands where they were taken. My paternal grandparents were from the Orkney Islands, which feature an unusual combo of Scottish and Norwegian culture and traditions. Have you been there?

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...
