I had a good day.. :-)

Sigh.... yesterday was a really R E A L L Y good day.

Nothing special really....

Bjørn took the babies on a road trip for the weekend...
The plan was to head down towards to Stavanger & go to Prekestolen...   the family promised me, if it is as good as it looks... we will do another road trip together.

Bjørn is such a good daddy.. always finding something fun to do..

Yesterday I was on my own... day off of work.
Hubby & kids gone.  No ONE needing anything.. sigh..

I was going to go into the office & catch up on paperwork... but decided to take advantage of the beautiful FALL weather.

I have been so preoccupied as of late.. I hadn't even noticed the fall colors on the trees...

So I hopped in the car.. driving through the country side.. & ended up at Norways idea of "OUTLET MALL" .. woo hoo...  pretty nice I admit.. actually much nicer then the American outlet malls I have been to.. but remember this is Norway.. so the prices are FAAARRRR from American outlets.. HA.

I took my time..going through the stores... & ended up buying a new outfit for my trip to Cannes,France  in less then 2 WEEKS.. (hoo woo)

Made it home.. skipped dinner, threw on my sweats & curled up on the couch to watch TRASH TV-

Ended up SKYPING with old friends for several hours...

HEAVEN... crawled into bed & slept..oh so well....

Popped up at 5 am this morning ready to take on the world. :-)

I went to Preikestolen in August while we were visiting Norway. It is AMAZING. I highly recommend you join your hubby and kids next time! Dangling my legs over the edge was probably the scariest thing I've ever done, but I have an amazing picture to prove how brave I was!

Stopping by from the SITS Flipper tribe. I'm an American, and I've thought about moving to Denmark, so I'm interested to keep reading about your experiences in Norway.

What a great day! I think everyone deserves some "me" time & shopping is always a good way to go.

Stopping by from your tribe :)

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

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
