Good Morning Norway

-
I am really enjoying my week of "Home Officce".... 
Getting my babies ready for school... having time in the morning...
My mornings here in Norway are different than the mornings we shared in the U.S.

Yesterday, I asked Eva to run & get something out of my car....

She came in YELLING...Mamma there are MOOSE standing by your car!

MOOSE?... surely she means deer? ...Moose?

I looked through the glass door..No moose... ran to the back deck...
Sure enough... there were THREE Moose in our back yard... a mama & her babies...

Of course of all times NOT to have my camera ready...
Thankfully our neighbor saw them too & snapped this...  I have heard rumors of moose roaming the neighborhood... but this is the first time I have seen it!  Pretty.Freaking.Awesome.

I walked Eva & a couple of the neighborboys to school today....
Of course they can never take the shortest path...
Noooo... it was through the woods... over the hills....  I thought about yelling for them to get down...
but then thought better...

why not let them enjoy the beautiful morning & their little adventure as long as possible...
 Must admit.... as long as it isn't raining, I like my mornings here in Norway

It is freaking awesome to see moose live! I can´t ever get enough of seeing those giant creatures!!! :-) But I never want to meet one up close!!!

Only problem with mornings in Norway- going into the season we are going...it´s so dark, it doesn´t feel like morning, it feels still like nighttime...ugh, but...on a positive note- it´s cozy with fires and big wooly sweaters ;-))))

Have a great 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...
