Black & White Wed....

-
Its been a LONGGGG time.. but I am ready to get into the swing of things for 2011..
I am back with my sisters over at Communal Global & back to playing along with
Black & White Wed. over at The long Road to China.

It has been a while since I have walked around with a camera in my pocket & an extra camera in the car "JUST IN CASE".

I have missed shooting pictures..
I have missed looking for the beauty in everyday things.
But I am going to try to get back on track....
Dane after a day on the slopes... we have been getting lots ok ski time this season.

 Baby Boy..(how long will I be allowed to call him my baby boy?) leaves for a ski trip with the ENTIRE 6th grade next week....
They will spend 5 days skiing, skiing.. more skiing.. learning winter survival,
Ice Fishing..
By the end of this... the kids will be officially Norwegian.. :-)
I am so jealous.. I wish they would let mom's go along...

My baby boy is in 7th grade, so it's still okay to call him that!

Welcome back (and to Cummunal Global too). Fun snow picture of your "baby" boy. (And even though we may have to stop saying the "baby" word outloud - they can't stop us from thinking it.....ever!)

What an awesome school trip! You know what field trips are like in the states.

Last summer when my son was away @ scout camp I missed him so much. This wasn't even his first long overnighter. It's just being a mom. And yes, I still call my son my baby & he's over 6ft, shaves & is 13 yrs old. My thought is that as long as I don't call him that in front of his friends I'm doing fine.

Here in Minnesota they send the kids for a week up North to learn about winter survival and global warming, etc. They cross-country ski, snowshoe and are outside for most of the day.

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...
