The best bits & babies....

So the BEST bits about my weekend in England....

first... I love saying ...
"oh,yes, I jet jetted over to England for the weekend...tally ho.." Pretty cool isn't it?

There were sooo many GOOD no, make that GREAT things about last weekend... Just seeing MY GIRLS.. & knowing no matter how many years pass betweenn getting all of us together... things never change between us.... I am soo blessed to have so many NEAT friends from all over the world....

This was the first time, all of us had children & we were able to get them together....

Another cool thing about all of our kiddos... they are all multicultrual... & bilingual...
(ok.. one of them isn't but no matter... we love her anyway... :-)

We had Eva.. who was of course an American/Norwegian...
Then we had Norwegian/Dutch
& finally English /Slovakian

Pretty impressive when you think we could put all of the kids 6 & under together & they would find a language to speak... VERY COOL...

Probably my bestest bit of the whole weekend was my time with Eva... WOW.. what an absolute joy it was to take her with me... & talk about a traveler... that kid is going to go places...(hopefully with me...) She was up at the crack of dawn... carried her suitecase.... switched buses..trains.. flights--- smiling the entire time....

can not wait until our next adventure together!

And now... the "babies"....

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...
